v2:
- fix STATIC_CALL_TRAMP() macro by using __PASTE() [Ard]
- rename optimized/unoptimized -> inline/out-of-line [Ard]
- tweak arch interfaces for PLT and add key->tramp field [Ard]
- rename 'poison' to 'defuse' and do it after all sites have been patched [Ard]
- fix .init handling [Ard, Steven]
- add CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL [Steven]
- make interfaces more consistent across configs to allow tracepoints to
  use them [Steven]
- move __ADDRESSABLE() to static_call() macro [Steven]
- prevent 2-byte jumps [Steven]
- add offset to asm-offsets.c instead of hard coding key->func offset
- add kernel_text_address() sanity check
- make __ADDRESSABLE() symbols truly unique

TODO:
- port Ard's arm64 patches to the new arch interfaces
- tracepoint performance testing

--------------------

These patches are related to two similar patch sets from Ard and Steve:

- https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
- https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

The code is also heavily inspired by the jump label code, as some of the
concepts are very similar.

There are three separate implementations, depending on what the arch
supports:

  1) CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE: patched call sites - requires
     objtool and a small amount of arch code
  
  2) CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL_OUTLINE: patched trampolines - requires
     a small amount of arch code
  
  3) If no arch support, fall back to regular function pointers


Josh Poimboeuf (4):
  compiler.h: Make __ADDRESSABLE() symbol truly unique
  static_call: Add static call infrastructure
  x86/static_call: Add out-of-line static call implementation
  x86/static_call: Add inline static call implementation for x86-64
