[PATCH 1/8] jump_label: no need to acquire the jump_label_mutex in jump_lable_init()

From: Kevin Hao <hidden>
Date: 2015-08-20 12:14:58
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: static branch/call, the rest · Maintainers: Peter Zijlstra, Josh Poimboeuf, Jason Baron, Alice Ryhl, Linus Torvalds

The jump_label_init() run in a very early stage, even before the
sched_init(). So there is no chance for concurrent access of the
jump label table.
