In 'static_branch_unlikely()', I think arch_static_branch() and
arch_static_branch_jump() are reversed. Another way to do the 'inv'
thing is to simply have the likely() branches all be in one table and
the unlikely() in the other. Then, for example for a given _inc()
operation we would no-op all the likely() branches and jmp all the
unlikely().
> And I think it'll all work. Hmm?
Cool. This also gives an extra degree of freedom in that it allows keys to
be arbitrarily mixed with the likely/unlikely branch types. I'm not sure that's
come up as a use-case, but seems like it would be good. It also implies
that the LABEL_TYPE_{TRUE,FALSE}, is no longer associated with the key
b/c a key could be used in both and unlikely() or likely() branch. So that
would eventually go away, and the 'struct static_key()', I guess could point
to its relevant entries in both tables. Although, that means an extra
pointer in the 'struct static_key'. It may be simpler to simply add another
field to the jump table that specifies if the branch is likely/unlikely,
and then we are back to one table? IE arch_static_branch() could add
that field to the jump table.
