This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled init: initialize jump labels before command line option parsing to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: init-initialize-jump-labels-before-command-line-opti.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ecb29a03c876a6c951a5636c2032888418535d02 Author: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Apr 18 17:50:44 2019 -0700 init: initialize jump labels before command line option parsing [ Upstream commit 6041186a32585fc7a1d0f6cfe2f138b05fdc3c82 ] 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.
