Commit 11c9c7edae06 ("mm/page_poison.c: replace bool variable with static key") changed page_poisoning_enabled() to a static key check. However, the function is not inlined, so each check still involves a function call with overhead not eliminated when page poisoning is disabled. Analogically to how debug_pagealloc is handled, this patch converts page_poisoning_enabled() back to boolean check, and introduces page_poisoning_enabled_static() for fast paths. Both functions are inlined. The function kernel_poison_pages() is also called unconditionally and does the static key check inside. Remove it from there and put it to callers. Also split it to two functions kernel_poison_pages() and kernel_unpoison_pages() instead of the confusing bool parameter. Also optimize the check that enables page poisoning instead of debug_pagealloc for architectures without proper debug_pagealloc support. Move the check to init_mem_debugging_and_hardening() to enable a single static key instead of having two static branches in page_poisoning_enabled_static().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
