jump_label, x86: Allow short NOPs
Now that objtool is able to rewrite jump_label instructions, have the
compiler emit a JMP, such that it can decide on the optimal encoding,
and set jump_entry::key bit1 to indicate that objtool should rewrite
the instruction to a matching NOP.
For x86_64-allyesconfig this gives:
jl\ NOP JMP
short: 22997 124
long: 30874 90
IOW, we save (22997+124) * 3 bytes of kernel text in hotpaths.
