It is possible for alternative code to unconditionally jump out of the
alternative region. In such a case, if a fake jump is added at the end
of the alternative instructions, the fake jump will never be reached.
Since the fake jump is just a mean to make sure code validation does not
go beyond the set of alternatives, reaching it is not a requirement.

Unwind hints are useful to provide objtool with information about stack

While the type of information being provided might be very arch

other architectures.

As pointed out by the comment in handle_group_alt(), support of
relocation for instructions in an alternative group depends on whether
arch specific kernel code handles it.
So, let objtool arch specific code decide whether a relocation for

Currently the tracepoint site will iterate a vector and issue indirect
calls to however many handlers are registered (ie. the vector is
long).
Using static_call() it is possible to optimize this for the common
case of only having a single handler registered. In this case the
static_call() can directly call this handler. Otherwise, if the vector
is longer than 1, call a function that iterates the whole vector like
the current code.

In order to use static_call() to wire up x86_pmu, we need to
initialize earlier, specifically before memory allocation works; copy
some of the tricks from jump_label to enable this.
Primarily we overload key->next to store a sites pointer when there
are no modules, this avoids having to use kmalloc() to initialize the
sites and allows us to run much earlier.

Extend the static_call infrastructure to optimize the following common
pattern:
if (func_ptr)
func_ptr(args...)
For the trampoline (which is in effect a tail-call), we patch the
JMP.d32 into a RET, which then directly consumes the trampoline call.
For the in-line sites we replace the CALL with a NOP5.
NOTE: this is 'obviously' limited to functions with a 'void' return type.
NOTE: DEFINE_STATIC_COND_CALL() only requires a typename, as opposed
to a full function.
