sched/debug: Fix 'schedstats=enable' cmdline option
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The 'schedstats=enable' option doesn't work, and also produces the
following warning during boot:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/kernel/jump_label.c:61 static_key_slow_inc+0x8c/0xa0

The problem is that it tries to update the 'sched_schedstats' static key
before jump labels have been initialized.

Changing jump_label_init() to be called earlier before
parse_early_param() wouldn't fix it: it would still fail trying to
poke_text() because mm isn't yet initialized.

Instead, just create a temporary '__sched_schedstats' variable which can
be copied to the static key later during sched_init() after jump labels
have been initialized.
