Subject: [PATCH v5 10/17] x86/msr: Use the alternatives mechanism for RDMSR
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 10:42:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911084211.3149957-11-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911084211.3149957-1-jgross@suse.com>
When available use the immediate variant of RDMSR in __rdmsr().
For the safe/unsafe variants make __rdmsr() to be a common base
function instead of duplicating the ALTERNATIVE*() macros.
Modify native_rdmsr() and native_read_msr() to use native_rdmsrq().
The paravirt case will be handled later.

the alternatives mechanism to read MSR" by Xin Li
