hi,

I did jump_label entries statistics on allyesconfig kernel
and got following numbers:

callers - keys
1 - 964
2 - 28
3 - 5
4 - 1
6 - 1
11 - 2
12 - 1
14 - 2
17 - 2
21 - 1
170 - 1


So the maximum is 170 callers and just for one key,
which is the key used in trace_module_get function.

Jason suggested we might stay with the static way because for most
of the entries the maximum number of callers is up to 21.

I'm attaching the static version for consideration.

wbr,
jirka

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
mmultiple entries at a time.

Added jump_label_update_end function which is paired with
the key's entries update.

The jump_label_update_end calls arch_jump_label_update_end
(with generic weak definition) which is overloaded by x86
arch and makes the batch update of all the entries queued
by arch_jump_label_transform function.

The number of entries that can be updated at a single time
is set to 30. This number is based on statistics from allyesconfig
kernel showing most of the keys having upto 30 callers.

callers - keys
1 - 964
2 - 28
3 - 5
4 - 1
6 - 1
11 - 2
12 - 1
14 - 2
17 - 2
21 - 1
170 - 1
