Hi Zhouyi,

We have hit something like this previously, see the stack trace in
commit e7eb919057c3 ("powerpc/64s: Handle program checks in wrong endian
during early boot").

That was fixed incidentally/accidentally by the page_poison code
changing to not use static keys so early.

There was a similar case recently in the random code too, see
60e5b2886b92 ("random: do not use jump labels before they are
initialized").

But I guess this will keep happening, as generic code authors expect to
be able to use static keys in early_param() handlers.

I think the ideal solution would be to move most early param parsing
later. There's only a few parameters that need to be parsed that early
in early_init_devtree(). That would be a complex and error-prone change
though, so I won't ask you to do that :)

But I think it would be better if you moved the call to
jump_label_init() into early_init_devtree(), just before we call
parse_early_param(), with a comment saying that it's required to call it
before parsing early params.

And ...

I think you can just leave this as-is, it's fine to call
jump_label_init() more than once.
