Later commits will cause objtool to warn about non __ro_after_init static keys being used in .noinstr sections in order to safely defer instruction patching IPIs targeted at NOHZ_FULL CPUs.
Two such keys currently exist: mds_idle_clear and __sched_clock_stable, which can both be modified at runtime.
As discussed at LPC 2024 during the realtime micro-conference, modifying these specific keys incurs additional interference (SMT hotplug) or can even be downright incompatible with NOHZ_FULL (unstable TSC).
Suppressing the IPI associated with modifying such keys is thus a minor concern wrt NOHZ_FULL interference, so add a jump type that will be leveraged by both the kernel (to know not to defer the IPI) and objtool (to know not to generate the aforementioned warning).
