High latencies can be observed caused by a daemon periodically reading various MSR on all cpus. On KASAN enabled kernels ~10ms latencies can be observed simply reading one MSR. Even without KASAN, sending an IPI to a CPU, which is in a deep sleep state or in a long hard IRQ disabled section, waiting for the answer can consume hundreds of microseconds. All usage sites are in preemptible context, convert rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() to use a completion instead of busy polling. Overall daemon cpu usage was reduced by 35 %, and latencies caused by msr_read() disappeared.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
