FWIW, Steve, if we were to do something like:
CFLAGS += -mfentry -mfentry_name=____static_call_fentry_tramp
And have:
struct static_call_key ____static_call_fentry = {
.func = NULL,
.next = 1,
};
asm(".pushsection .static_call.text, \"ax\" \n"
".align 4 \n"
".globl ____static_call_fentry_tramp \n"
"____static_call_fentry_tramp: \n"
" ret \n"
".type ____static_call_fentry_tramp, @function \n"
".size ____static_call_fentry_tramp, . - ____static_call_fentry_tramp \n"
".popsection \n");
Then the whole function entry thing would automagicaly turn into
something like static_cond_call(fentry)(...);
Not saying we should do that, but we could ;-)
