Currently, each architecture can support PREEMPT_DYNAMIC through either static calls or static keys. To support PREEMPT_DYNAMIC on riscv, we face three choices: 1. only add static calls support to riscv As Mark pointed out in commit 99cf983c ("sched/preempt: Add PREEMPT_DYNAMIC using static keys"), static keys "...should have slightly lower overhead than non-inline static calls, as this effectively inlines each trampoline into the start of its callee. This may avoid redundant work, and may integrate better with CFI schemes." So even we add static calls(without inline static calls) to riscv, static keys is still a better choice. 2. add static calls and inline static calls to riscv Per my understanding, inline static calls requires objtool support which is not easy. 3. use static keys While riscv doesn't have static calls support, it supports static keys perfectly. So this patch selects HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC_KEY to enable support for PREEMPT_DYNAMIC on riscv, so that the preemption model can be chosen at boot time. It also patches asm-generic/preempt.h, mainly to add __preempt_schedule() and __preempt_schedule_notrace() macros for PREEMPT_DYNAMIC case. Other architectures which use generic preempt.h can also benefit from this patch by simply selecting HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC_KEY to enable PREEMPT_DYNAMIC if they supports static keys.
