[PATCHv2 0/2] jump_label,x86: make batch update of jump_label entries

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>]

hi,

I'm changing the jump label update code to use batch processing
for x86 architectures. 

Currently each jump label update calls text_poke_smp for each
jump label key entry. Thus one key update ends up calling stop
machine multiple times.

This patch is using text_poke_smp_batch, which is called for
all the key's entries. Thus ensuring the stop machine is called
only once per jump_label key.

attached patches:
1/2 - jump_label,x86: use text_poke_smp_batch for entries update
	- added jump_label_update_end function which is paired with
	the key's entries update
	- jump_label_update_end calls arch_jump_label_update_end which
	is overloaded by x86 arch and makes the batch update of all the
	entries queued by arch_jump_label_transform function.

2/2 - jump_label,x86: using static arrays before dynamic allocation is needed
	- in the first patch, the queue array, which stores jump_label
	entries is allocated/resized dynamically.
	- due to the fact that many jump_label entries have low number
	of callers, it seems appropriate to use static sized array
	when the update starts and if needed (in case of high number
	of jump_label entries) allocate/use the dynamic array


Patch 2/2 and could be ommited if the benefit/complexity ratio
would seem too low.. ;)

I tested this on x86 and s390 archs.

v2 changes:
 - queueing all entries for single key and process them
   all at one time

wrb,
jirka
