4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Jason Baron <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 92ee46efeb505ead3ab06d3c5ce695637ed5f152 ] Fengguang Wu reported that running the rcuperf test during boot can cause the jump_label_test() to hit a WARN_ON(). The issue is that the core jump label code relies on kernel_text_address() to detect when it can no longer update branches that may be contained in __init sections. The kernel_text_address() in turn assumes that if the system_state variable is greter than or equal to SYSTEM_RUNNING then __init sections are no longer valid (since the assumption is that they have been freed). However, when rcuperf is setup to run in early boot it can call kernel_power_off() which sets the system_state to SYSTEM_POWER_OFF. Since rcuperf initialization is invoked via a module_init(), we can make the dependency of jump_label_test() needing to complete before rcuperf explicit by calling it via early_initcall().
