Yes, that's negligible.
Though, to be honest, I will have to introduce a 'mfmsr' for the older
-pg variant. I still think that the improved reliability far outweighs
the minor slowdown there.
In that case, can you introduce a read_mostly variable that can be
tested before calling the mfmsr. Why punish normal ftrace tracing if
kvm is not enabled or running?
Both should probably have an #ifdef CONFIG_KVM encapsulating the code.
Agreed. My previous intent was to exclude all realmode code from ftrace,
but I now think it is better to only exclude the KVM path. So, I will
make it specific to KVM.
