It turns out that jump_label_text_reserved() was reporting __init text
as being reserved past the time when the __init text was freed and
re-used.
For a long time, this resulted in, at worst, not being able to kprobe
text that happened to land at the re-used address. However a recent
commit e7bf1ba97a ("jump_label, x86: Emit short JMP") made it a
fatal mistake because it now needs to read the instruction in order to
determine the conflict -- an instruction that's no longer there.

Sites that match init_section_contains() get marked as INIT. For
built-in code init_sections contains both __init and __exit text. OTOH
kernel_text_address() only explicitly includes __init text (and there
are no __exit text markers).
Match what jump_label already does and ignore the warning for INIT
sites. Also see the excellent changelog for commit: 8f35eaa5f2

When the static_key is part of the module, and the module calls
static_key_inc/enable() from it's __init section *AND* has a
static_branch_*() user in that very same __init section, things go
wobbly.
If the static_key lives outside the module, jump_label_add_module()
would append this module's sites to the key and jump_label_update()
would take the static_key_linked() branch and all would be fine.
If all the sites are outside of __init, then everything will be fine
too.
However, when all is aligned just as described above,
jump_label_update() calls __jump_label_update(.init = false) and we'll
not update sites in __init text.

On architectures that discard .exit.* sections at runtime, a
warning is printed for each jump label that is used within an
in-kernel __exit annotated function:
can't patch jump_label at ehci_hcd_cleanup+0x8/0x3c
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/jump_label.c:410 __jump_label_update+0x12c/0x138
As these functions will never get executed (they are free'd along
with the rest of initmem) - we do not need to patch them and should
not display any warnings.
The warning is displayed because the test required to satisfy
jump_entry_is_init is based on init_section_contains (__init_begin to
__init_end) whereas the test in __jump_label_update is based on
init_kernel_text (_sinittext to _einittext) via kernel_text_address).

If the architecture supports the batching of jump label updates, use it!
An easy way to see the benefits of this patch is switching the
schedstats on and off. For instance:
-------------------------- %< ----------------------------
#!/bin/sh
while [ true ]; do
sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=1
sleep 2
sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=0
sleep 2
done
-------------------------- >% ----------------------------
while watching the IPI count:
-------------------------- %< ----------------------------
# watch -n1 "cat /proc/interrupts | grep Function"
-------------------------- >% ----------------------------
With the current mode, it is possible to see +- 168 IPIs each 2 seconds,
while with this patch the number of IPIs goes to 3 each 2 seconds.
Regarding the performance impact of this patch set, I made two measurements:
The time to update a key (the task that is causing the change)
The time to run the int3 handler (the side effect on a thread that
hits the code being changed)
The schedstats static key was chosen as the key to being switched on and off.
The reason being is that it is used in more than 56 places, in a hot path. The
change in the schedstats static key will be done with the following command:
while [ true ]; do
sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=1
usleep 500000
sysctl -w kernel.sched_schedstats=0
usleep 500000
done
In this way, they key will be updated twice per second. To force the hit of the
int3 handler, the system will also run a kernel compilation with two jobs per
CPU. The test machine is a two nodes/24 CPUs box with an Intel Xeon processor
@2.27GHz.
Regarding the update part, on average, the regular kernel takes 57 ms to update
the schedstats key, while the kernel with the batch updates takes just 1.4 ms
on average. Although it seems to be too good to be true, it makes sense: the
schedstats key is used in 56 places, so it was expected that it would take
around 56 times to update the keys with the current implementation, as the
IPIs are the most expensive part of the update.
Regarding the int3 handler, the non-batch handler takes 45 ns on average, while
the batch version takes around 180 ns. At first glance, it seems to be a high
value. But it is not, considering that it is doing 56 updates, rather than one!
It is taking four times more, only. This gain is possible because the patch
uses a binary search in the vector: log2(56)=5.8. So, it was expected to have
an overhead within four times.
(voice of tv propaganda) But, that is not all! As the int3 handler keeps on for
a shorter period (because the update part is on for a shorter time), the number
of hits in the int3 handler decreased by 10%.
The question then is: Is it worth paying the price of "135 ns" more in the int3
handler?
Considering that, in this test case, we are saving the handling of 53 IPIs,
that takes more than these 135 ns, it seems to be a meager price to be paid.
Moreover, the test case was forcing the hit of the int3, in practice, it
does not take that often. While the IPI takes place on all CPUs, hitting
the int3 handler or not!
For instance, in an isolated CPU with a process running in user-space
(nohz_full use-case), the chances of hitting the int3 handler is barely zero,
while there is no way to avoid the IPIs. By bounding the IPIs, we are improving
a lot this scenario.

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".
The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:
#if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
# define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#endif
We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.
Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

Commit 1948367768 ("jump_label: Annotate entries that operate on
__init code earlier") refactored the code that manages runtime
patching of jump labels in modules that are tied to static keys
defined in other modules or in the core kernel.
In the latter case, we may iterate over the static_key_mod linked
list until we hit the entry for the core kernel, whose 'mod' field
will be NULL, and attempt to dereference it to get at its 'state'
member.
So let's add a non-NULL check: this forces the 'init' argument of
__jump_label_update() to false for static keys that are defined in
the core kernel, which is appropriate given that __init annotated
jump_label entries in the core kernel should no longer be active
at this point (i.e., when loading modules).

Jump table entries are mostly read-only, with the exception of the
init and module loader code that defuses entries that point into init
code when the code being referred to is freed.
For robustness, it would be better to move these entries into the
ro_after_init section, but clearing the 'code' member of each jump
table entry referring to init code at module load time races with the
module_enable_ro() call that remaps the ro_after_init section read
only, so we'd like to do it earlier.
So given that whether such an entry refers to init code can be decided
much earlier, we can pull this check forward. Since we may still need
the code entry at this point, let's switch to setting a low bit in the
'key' member just like we do to annotate the default state of a jump
table entry.
