OK, I think I understand the problem, and this may or may not be a real
bug depending on what the jump label infrastructure expects.
Jason,
How safe is it to use static_key_slow_inc() before jump_label_init() is
called?
What happened here is that the xen code called by
smp_prepare_boot_cpu() checks boot parameters and may do a
static_key_slow_inc() if xen_nopvspin is not set. Which basically
enables a jump label. The issues is that because jump_labels have not
been initialized yet, it just ups the "enable" count and does not
modify anything because key->entries is still NULL.
When jump_label_init() is called, it sees that the branch is enabled
and then converts it to being enabled, but here's where the current
check fails. It does not expect a jump label to be already enabled when
it gets here.
Now, if it is fine to enable a jump label before jump_label_init() then
I will agree that this patch is the proper fix. But before I give my
Ack, I want to know if the jump label infrastructure was designed to
allow enabling of jump labels at boot up before jump_label_init() is
run.
