I think the issue here is that arm64 doesn't initialize static keys
early enough.
init/main.c has the general case:
asmlinkage __visible void __init start_kernel(void)
{
...
setup_arch(&command_line);
...
smp_prepare_boot_cpu();
...
/* parameters may set static keys */
jump_label_init();
parse_early_param();
...
}
however, x86 does even earlier early params in setup_arch():
void __init setup_arch(char **cmdline_p)
{
...
jump_label_init();
...
parse_early_param();
...
}
arm64 does similar very early early params in setup_arch()[1] too,
but not jump_label_init() which is too late in smp_prepare_boot_cpu():
void __init setup_arch(char **cmdline_p)
{
...
parse_early_param();
...
}
void __init smp_prepare_boot_cpu(void)
{
...
jump_label_init();
...
}
I can send a patch to fix this...
