Static branching is useful to runtime patch branches that are used in hot path, but are infrequently changed. The x86 clock framework is one example that uses static branches to setup the best clock during boot and never changes it again. It is desired to enable the TSC based sched clock early to allow fine grained boot time analysis early on. That requires the static branching functionality to be functional early as well. Static branching requires patching nop instructions, thus, arch_init_ideal_nops() must be called prior to jump_label_init(). Do all the necessary steps to call arch_init_ideal_nops() right after early_cpu_init(), which also allows to insert a call to jump_label_init() right after that. jump_label_init() will be called again from the generic init code, but the code is protected against reinitialization already.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
