The patch titled Subject: init: initialize jump labels before command line option parsing has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is init-initialize-jump-labels-before-command-line-option-parsing.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/init-initialize-jump-labels-before-command-line-option-parsing.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/init-initialize-jump-labels-before-command-line-option-parsing.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: init: initialize jump labels before command line option parsing When a module option, or core kernel argument, toggles a static-key it requires jump labels to be initialized early. While x86, PowerPC, and ARM64 arrange for jump_label_init() to be called before parse_args(), ARM does not.

The redundant calls to jump_label_init() in other archs are left intact in case they have static key toggling use cases that are even earlier than option parsing.
