Subject: [PATCH v2 04/12] x86/msr: Minimize usage of native_*() msr access functions
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2025 09:03:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250930070356.30695-5-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250930070356.30695-1-jgross@suse.com>
In order to prepare for some MSR access function reorg work, switch
most users of native_{read|write}_msr[_safe]() to the more generic
rdmsr*()/wrmsr*() variants.
For now this will have some intermediate performance impact with
paravirtualization configured when running on bare metal, but this
is a prereq change for the planned direct inlining of the rdmsr/wrmsr
instructions with this configuration.
The main reason for this switch is the planned move of the MSR trace
function invocation from the native_*() functions to the generic
rdmsr*()/wrmsr*() variants. Without this switch the users of the
native_*() functions would lose the related tracing entries.
Note that the Xen related MSR access functions will not be switched,
as these will be handled after the move of the trace hooks.
