[PATCH 00/12] jump label v10
Hi, updates in -v10: *removed build-time jump table sort. Since I moved to faster lib/sort.c qsort method, the run-time sort is really fast. This change also reduces the complexity quite a bit. *added arch_jump_label_text_poke_early(), removing text_poke_early() in generic code. I think for most arches... 27 Jul 2010 17:16

[PATCH 10/12] jump label v10: x86 support
add x86 support for jump label.

[PATCH 06/12] jump label v10: convert jump label to use a key
Convert the jump label code to use a key to identify each related set of jump labels instead of a string. This saves space since we no longer need to store strings and their pointers, just the keys. In addition we can simplify the JUMP_LABEL macro to 2 arguments from 3. We use the address of the conditional variabl... 27 Jul 2010 17:16
