Add the arch-specific code to support jump labels for ARM and Thumb-2. This code will only be activated on compilers that are capable of building it. It has been tested with GCC 4.6 patched with the patch from GCC bug 48637. Cc: Jason Baron <redacted> Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <redacted> ---...quoted
+static __always_inline bool arch_static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key)Hmm, there's now a patch in linux-next ("static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]()") via the -tip tree which would cause this not to build anymore since struct jump_label_key was renamed to struct static_key. I'm not sure how this could be handled to keep this compiling both in the arm tree separately and in linux-next. I guess the easiest is to delay this until the next cycle, since it's not applied yet.
hmm...Maybe the rename patches could be pulled into the arm tree somehow? Waiting a cycle works too... Thanks, -Jason
