The static_key->next field goes mostly unused. The field is used for
associating module uses with a static key. Most uses of struct static_key
define a static key in the core kernel and make use of it entirely within
the core kernel, or define the static key in a module and make use of it
only from within that module. In fact, of the ~3,000 static keys defined,
I found only about 5 or so that did not fit this pattern.
Thus, we can remove the static_key->next field entirely and overload
the static_key->entries field. That is, when all the static_key uses
are contained within the same module, static_key->entries continues
to point to those uses. However, if the static_key uses are not contained
within the module where the static_key is defined, then we allocate a
struct static_key_mod, store a pointer to the uses within that
struct static_key_mod, and have the static key point at the static_key_mod.
This does incur some extra memory usage when a static_key is used in a
module that does not define it, but since there are only a handful of such
cases there is a net savings.
In order to identify if the static_key->entries pointer contains a
struct static_key_mod or a struct jump_entry pointer, bit 1 of
static_key->entries is set to 1 if it points to a struct static_key_mod and
is 0 if it points to a struct jump_entry. We were already using bit 0 in a
similar way to store the initial value of the static_key. This does mean
that allocations of struct static_key_mod and that the struct jump_entry
tables need to be at least 4-byte aligned in memory. As far as I can tell
all arches meet this criteria.
For my .config, the patch increased the text by 253 bytes, but reduced
the data + bss size by 19,136, for a net savings of 18,883 bytes.

I really hate these very ugly type conversions. Is there no cleaner way?
For example the last line could sure be written as:
key->entries = jlm->entries;
key->type |= static_key_type(key);
right?
Thanks,
Ingo

Hi,
So that is going to over-write the static_key_type(key) in the first
assignment. If the order is reversed we can't just |= in the pointer type.
How about:
static void jump_key_set_entries(struct static_key *key, struct
jump_entry *entries)
{
unsigned long type;
type = static_key_type(key);
key->entries = entries;
key->type |= type;
}
and then we can also add:
void jump_key_set_mod(struct static_key *key, struct static_key_mod *mod)
doing basically the same thing. That will avoid the casts that you
called out.
better?
Thanks,
-Jason

Indeed, I missed that.

Yeah - and it should generate the exact same code, right?
I'd also add a short comment to the helper function that points out the
union/aliasing, in case anyone is wondering.
Thanks,

yes, looks identical.

Ok, I'll add that to v3.
