[PATCH RFC 0/8] jump-label: allow early jump_label_enable()

[PATCH RFC 0/8] jump-label: allow early jump_label_enable()

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge]

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

Hi all,

While trying to use the jump-label stuff for my PV ticketlock changes,
I had some problems using jump labels early in the kernel's lifetime
(pre-SMP).

The basic problem is that even if I enable a jump_label_key, the
jump_label_init() initializer ends up nopping out all the code sites.

This series enables early use of jump labels by making
jump_label_init() respect already-enabled keys.

To do this, I've dropped arch_jump_label_poke_text_early() and
replaced it with arch_jump_label_transform_early(), which is the same
as the non-_early variant except that it expects to be operating in a
pre-SMP environment.

I've tested this on x86, but all the other architecture changes are
completely untested (not even breathed on by a compiler).

One big question which arises is whether the _early() function is
necessary at all.  All the stop_machine/mutex/etc stuff that
arch_jump_label_transform() ends up doing is redundant pre-SMP, but it
shouldn't hurt.  Maybe we can just drop the _early function?  It works
on x86, at least, because jump_label_enable() works, which uses the full
form.  And dropping it would reduce this to a very much smaller series.

Thanks,
	J

[PATCH RFC 2/8] jump_label: if a key has already been initialized, don't nop it out

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge]

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com>

If a key has been enabled before jump_label_init() is called, don't
nop it out.

This replaces arch_jump_label_text_poke_early() (which can only nop
out a site) with arch_jump_label_transform_early(), which is functionally
equivalent to arch_jump_label_transform().

It does slow down the boot process, which is not a good thing when
everyone is pushing for the fastest restarts.

What we should probably do is have a global read_mostly variable called,
smp_activated or something, then things that can be called before and
after can read this variable to determine if it can skip certain
protections.

While we're at it, perhaps we could add a memory_initialized for things
like tracers that want to trace early but need to wait till it can
allocate buffers. If we had this flag, it could instead do an early
memory init to create the buffers.

Would it really though?  stop_machine() doesn't do very much when there
are no other cpus.

Not that I measured or anything, but there was no obvious big lag at boot.

Could do that if it turns out to be a problem.

That seems orthogonal to the jump_label changes.

Hi Jeremy,

Your patch looks fine, if you can fix the minor compiler warnings
below. Excluding stop_machine() on pre-SMP also looks safer too me.

Just bringing up the point, but without measurements, its all hand
waving. It may not be a big deal, and simpler code is always better if
it doesn't harm anything else.

It is. But it's something that bugs me and this just reminded me of

Do you think there would be an actual problem, or are you just being
cautious?

It seems to me - in general - stop_machine could just be defined to be a
no-op (ie, just directly calls the callback) until enough SMP is
initialized for it to make sense, rather than having to make every user
work around it (if there's a chance they might call it early).

I think the simplest thing is to make stop_machine() well-defined in a
pre-smp environment, where it just directly calls the callback:

diff --git a/kernel/stop_machine.c b/kernel/stop_machine.c
index ba5070c..b6ad9b3 100644

 	/* Set the initial state and stop all online cpus. */
 	set_state(&smdata, STOPMACHINE_PREPARE);
 	return stop_cpus(cpu_online_mask, stop_machine_cpu_stop, &smdata);

so that its guaranteed safe to use at any point.

Just cautious since stop_machine() is quite a big hammer. Who knows how
many jump labels we might get? So without an early exit in
stop_machine() for pre-SMP we might waste performance there.
