Vlastimil,

Will you be able to look into that? Openrisc doesnt have jump_label
support, so its no issue at the moment.

Archs that do have it:

arch/arm64/Kconfig:     select HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL
arch/mips/Kconfig:      select HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL
arch/s390/Kconfig:      select HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL
arch/sparc/Kconfig:     select HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL if SPARC64
arch/tile/Kconfig:      select HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL
arch/x86/Kconfig:       select HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL
arch/arm/Kconfig:       select HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL if !XIP_KERNEL && !CPU_ENDIAN_BE32 && MMU
arch/powerpc/Kconfig:   select HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL

I looked at a few (arm, tile) and I dont see their arch_jump_label_transform*
implementations depending on global state like ideal_nops from x86. They
should be ok.

If no time, Should you change your patch to not use static keys for
build_all_zonelists at least?
