+ *
+ * http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/examples/2014/04/01/backport-static-keys.patch
+ *
+ * And these notes:
+ *
+ * < v2.6.37 - No tracing support
+ * bf5438fc - v2.6.37 - Jump label support added primarily for tracing but
+ * tracing was broken, later kernels started sporting
+ * functional tracing.
+ * d430d3d7e - v3.0 - Static branch optimizations for jump labels
+ * c5905afb - v3.3 - Static keys split out, note on the below issue
+ * c5905afb - v3.5 - git describe --contains c5905afb claims but not true!
+ * c4b2c0c5f - v3.13 - Adds static_key_initialized(), STATIC_KEY_CHECK_USE()
+ *
+ * Because all of this we skip 2.6.37 - 3.3 but and adding support for older
+ * can be done by of carrying over the non-architecture optimized code.
+ * Carrying new changes into this file is a burden though so if we really
+ * find use for this we could just split the non optimized versions upstream
+ * and copy that through an automatic process.

+ * Jump labels provide an interface to generate dynamic branches using
+ * self-modifying code. Assuming toolchain and architecture support the result
+ * of a "if (static_key_false(&key))" statement is a unconditional branch (which
+ * defaults to false - and the true block is placed out of line).
+ *
+ * However at runtime we can change the branch target using
+ * static_key_slow_{inc,dec}(). These function as a 'reference' count on the key
+ * object and for as long as there are references all branches referring to
+ * that particular key will point to the (out of line) true block.
+ *
+ * Since this relies on modifying code the static_key_slow_{inc,dec}() functions
+ * must be considered absolute slow paths (machine wide synchronization etc.).
+ * OTOH, since the affected branches are unconditional their runtime overhead
+ * will be absolutely minimal, esp. in the default (off) case where the total
+ * effect is a single NOP of appropriate size. The on case will patch in a jump
+ * to the out-of-line block.
+ *
+ * When the control is directly exposed to userspace it is prudent to delay the
+ * decrement to avoid high frequency code modifications which can (and do)
+ * cause significant performance degradation. Struct static_key_deferred and
+ * static_key_slow_dec_deferred() provide for this.
+ *
+ * Lacking toolchain and or architecture support, it falls back to a simple
+ * conditional branch.
+ *
+ * struct static_key my_key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE;
+ *
+ * if (static_key_true(&my_key)) {
+ * }
+ *
+ * will result in the true case being in-line and starts the key with a single
+ * reference. Mixing static_key_true() and static_key_false() on the same key is not
+ * allowed.
+ *
+ * Not initializing the key (static data is initialized to 0s anyway) is the
+ * same as using STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE.
