Hmm, the compiler *is* told all it needs:
arch/x86/kvm/x86.h:
...
static inline int is_long_mode(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_64
return vcpu->arch.efer & EFER_LMA;
#else
return 0;
#endif
}
static inline bool is_64_bit_mode(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
int cs_db, cs_l;
if (!is_long_mode(vcpu))
return false;
kvm_x86_ops->get_cs_db_l_bits(vcpu, &cs_db, &cs_l);
return cs_l;
}
...
so in !CONFIG_X86_64 case is_64_bit_mode() unconditionally returns
false, and the branch setting the values of the variables is always
taken.

So this is rather a workaround for the compiler giving false positive.
I suggest to at least rephrase the log message to inidcate this.
