| |
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
When jump labels are initialized at boot up, they are compared to the default_nop before switching to the ideal nop.
But if a jump label is enabled by default on start up, the enabled code does not test against the default nop, only the ideal nop. But as this jump label has not been converted to the ideal nop, it fails the check, and will crash the box.
The enabled path needs to be aware of initialization too.
