Series context_tracking,x86: Defer some IPIs until a user->kernel transition | expand

Commit Message

Valentin Schneider Nov. 19, 2024, 3:34 p.m. UTC 
Later commits will cause objtool to warn about non __ro_after_init static
keys being used in .noinstr sections in order to safely defer instruction
patching IPIs targeted at NOHZ_FULL CPUs.

__sched_clock_stable is used in .noinstr code, and can be modified at
runtime (e.g. KVM module loading). Suppressing the text_poke_sync() IPI has
little benefits for this key, as NOHZ_FULL is incompatible with an unstable
TSC anyway.

Mark it as forceful to let the kernel know to always send the
text_poke_sync() IPI for it, and to let objtool know not to warn about it.
