Unfortunately it does not. All that patch did was move jump_label_init() up more. If anything, it implies "no". The question is, can we enable jump_labels before jump_label_init()? Note, we may still be able to (as it seems to work), the thing is, the only thing that static_key_slow_inc() does is to tell jump_label_init() to enable it. Before jump_label_init() is called, nothing has changed. No code modification, all users of paravirt_ticketlocks_enabled are still off. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
