Add just enough support for static key so that we can use it from
tracepoints. Tracepoints rely on `static_branch_unlikely` with a `struct
static_key_false`, so we add the same functionality to Rust.

This patch only provides a generic implementation without code patching
(matching the one used when CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is disabled). Later
patches add support for inline asm implementations that use runtime
patching.

When CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL is unset, `static_key_count` is a static inline
function, so a Rust helper is defined for `static_key_count` in this
case. If Rust is compiled with LTO, this call should get inlined. The
helper can be eliminated once we have the necessary inline asm to make
atomic operations from Rust.

^ Explicit export should be removed. This only works because we didn't
remove export.h from all helpers.c yet, but there's a patch to do
that and this will stop working.

You can add a Reviewed-by from me with this fixed.

What's the benefit of removing explicit exports from the Rust helper C
code? It requires special casing things like modversions for these
files, so I assume there's a reason for this. I asked about it here,
but never got a response:

Ah, I didn't saw that email, probably because I archived the mails after
the patch is applied.

We're working towards having an option that enables inlining these
helpers into Rust; when that option is enabled, the helpers must not be
exported. See
https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/20240529202817.3641974-1-gary@garyguo.net/
and https://lwn.net/Articles/993163/.

It's also quite tedious for every helper to carry this export.

Best,
Gary

Sometimes you might get pings about patches that are already applied too. :)

Interesting, thanks for the links. It would have been helpful to
explain the motivation for the change also in the patch that was
applied.

Did you consider using the preprocessor to simply skip exporting the
helpers when cross-language LTO inlining is used? This would allow us
to use the existing C build rules for the code instead of adding a
separate rule to handle Rust-style exports, like I'm doing here:

https://github.com/samitolvanen/linux/commit/545277e4d0432dafc530b1618f0152aed82af2f5

It's just one line per helper, but sure, I do see your point.

I guess we will have a lot of helpers added over time, so even if it
is one line, it may end up being a lot of lines in total. The rules
should stay constant, which would be better. Having said that, it is
true the extra complexity of the rules isn't great either.

Cheers,
Miguel

My only concern is that custom C build rules must be kept in sync with
Makefile.build changes, while EXPORT_SYMBOL lines should be basically
maintenance-free. However, perhaps this isn't really an issue since
most of the complexity is already contained in rule_cc_o_c that we can
conveniently reuse. Anyway, I think this is something we can worry
about later if we actually run into problems. I was mostly interested
in the reasoning behind these changes.
