Subject: [PATCH v5 09/17] x86/msr: Introduce sync_cpu_after_wrmsrns()
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 10:42:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911084211.3149957-10-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911084211.3149957-1-jgross@suse.com>
In order to allow using wrmsrns() for multiple MSR register writes
introduce sync_cpu_after_wrmsrns() which will then do a CPU serialize
operation, if the hardware does support the WRMSRNS instruction. In
case the hardware doesn't support WRMSRNS, sync_cpu_after_wrmsrns()
will be a NOP.
