From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: yalin.wang2010@gmail.com (yalin wang) Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2015 15:41:37 +0800 Subject: [RFC] arm64:change jump_label to use branch instruction, not use NOP instr Message-ID: <94E2034B-9DE4-4ADF-8B2F-197D38A363CF@gmail.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org This change a little arch_static_branch(), use b . + 4 for false return, why? According to aarch64 TRM, if both source and dest instr are branch instr, can patch the instr directly, don't need all cpu to do ISB for sync, this means we can call aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync() during patch_text(), will improve the performance when change a static_key.
