So quite frankly, is there any reason we don't just implement
native_read_msr() as just
unsigned long long native_read_msr(unsigned int msr)
{
int err;
unsigned long long val;
val = native_read_msr_safe(msr, &err);
WARN_ON_ONCE(err);
return val;
}
Note: no inline, no nothing. Just put it in arch/x86/lib/msr.c, and be
done with it. I don't see the downside.
How many msr reads are <i>so</i> critical that the function call
overhead would matter? Get rid of the inline version of the _safe()
thing too, and put that thing there too.
