As shown in the comment in jump_label.h, choosing the initial state of static branches changes the assembly layout. If the condition is expected to be likely it's inline, and if unlikely it is out of line via a jump. A few places in the kernel use (or could be using) a CONFIG to choose the default state, which would give a small performance benefit to their compile-time declared default. Provide the infrastructure to do this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
