For accessing the MSR registers on the local CPU, there are 2 types of interfaces: the "modern" 64-bit ones (rdmsrq() etc.) and the 32-bit ones (rdmsr() etc.) which are using the upper and lower 32-bit halves of the 64-bit wide MSR register values. The 32-bit interfaces are not optimal for 3 reasons: - They are based on primitives using 64-bit sized values anyway. - Modern x86 CPUs have added support for MSR access instructions using an immediate value instead of a register for addressing the MSR, while the value is in a 64-bit register. - rdmsr() is a macro storing the upper and lower 32-bit halves in variables specified as macro parameters. This is obscuring variable assignment through a macro. Additionally rdmsrq() is mimicking this pattern by being a macro, too, with the target variable specified as a parameter as well. For those reasons drop the 32-bit interfaces for accessing the x86 MSR registers completely and only use the 64-bit variants. This allows to switch all "high-level" MSR access macros to inline functions in the end. This series will be used as the base for further reorganisation of the MSR access functions, especially for completely inlining the MSR access instructions even with paravirtualization being active. Based on kernel 7.3 as of 2026-08-19. Changes in V2: - dropped already applied patches - added patch 1 - rebased Juergen Gross (13): x86/cpu: Fix coding style violation x86/msr: Remove wrmsr_safe() x86/msr: Remove rdmsr_safe()
