Subject: [PATCH 10/15] static_call: Add basic static call infrastructure
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@...hat.com>
Static calls are a replacement for global function pointers. They use
code patching to allow direct calls to be used instead of indirect
calls. They give the flexibility of function pointers, but with
improved performance. This is especially important for cases where
retpolines would otherwise be used, as retpolines can significantly
impact performance.
The concept and code are an extension of previous work done by Ard
Biesheuvel and Steven Rostedt:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181005081333.15018-1-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181006015110.653946300@goodmis.org
There are two implementations, depending on arch support:
1) out-of-line: patched trampolines (CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL)
2) basic function pointers
For more details, see the comments in include/linux/static_call.h.

+ * Static call support
+ *
+ * Static calls use code patching to hard-code function pointers into direct
+ * branch instructions. They give the flexibility of function pointers, but
+ * with improved performance. This is especially important for cases where
+ * retpolines would otherwise be used, as retpolines can significantly impact
+ * performance.
+ *
+ *
+ * API overview:
+ *
+ * DECLARE_STATIC_CALL(key, func);
+ * DEFINE_STATIC_CALL(key, func);
+ * static_call(key, args...);
+ * static_call_update(key, func);
+ *
+ *
+ * Usage example:
+ *
+ * # Start with the following functions (with identical prototypes):
+ * int func_a(int arg1, int arg2);
+ * int func_b(int arg1, int arg2);
+ *
+ * # Define a 'my_key' reference, associated with func_a() by default
+ * DEFINE_STATIC_CALL(my_key, func_a);
+ *
+ * # Call func_a()
+ * static_call(my_key, arg1, arg2);
+ *
+ * # Update 'my_key' to point to func_b()
+ * static_call_update(my_key, func_b);
+ *
+ * # Call func_b()
+ * static_call(my_key, arg1, arg2);
+ *
+ *
+ * Implementation details:
+ *
+ * This requires some arch-specific code (CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL).
+ * Otherwise basic indirect calls are used (with function pointers).
+ *
+ * Each static_call() site calls into a trampoline associated with the key.
+ * The trampoline has a direct branch to the default function. Updates to a
+ * key will modify the trampoline's branch destination.
