Josh Poimboeuf 3335224470 jump_label: Explicitly disable jump labels in __init code
After initmem has been freed, any jump labels in __init code are
prevented from being written to by the kernel_text_address() check in
__jump_label_update().  However, this check is quite broad.  If
kernel_text_address() were to return false for any other reason, the
jump label write would fail silently with no warning.

For jump labels in module init code, entry->code is set to zero to
indicate that the entry is disabled.  Do the same thing for core kernel
init code.  This makes the behavior more consistent, and will also make
it more straightforward to detect non-init jump label write failures in
the next patch.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
