Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] x86/msr: Switch between WRMSRNS and WRMSR with the alternatives mechanism
Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2024 00:39:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240822073906.2176342-3-xin@zytor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240822073906.2176342-1-xin@zytor.com>
From: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
Per the discussion about FRED MSR writes with WRMSRNS instruction [1],
use the alternatives mechanism to choose WRMSRNS when it's available,
otherwise fallback to WRMSR.
Remove the dependency on X86_FEATURE_WRMSRNS as WRMSRNS is no longer
dependent on FRED.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/15f56e6a-6edd-43d0-8e83-bb6430096514@citrix.com/
Note, keep as DS prefix unless we get information to the contrary.

Changes since v1:
* Remove the dependency on X86_FEATURE_WRMSRNS. (Thomas Gleixner)
