The kernel does not use any keys besides IA so we don't need to install IB/DA/DB/GA on kernel exit if we arrange to install them on task switch instead, which we can expect to happen an order of magnitude less often. Furthermore we can avoid installing the user IA in the case where the user task has IA disabled and just leave the kernel IA installed. This also lets us avoid needing to install IA on kernel entry. On an Apple M1 under a hypervisor, the overhead of kernel entry/exit has been measured to be reduced by 15.6ns in the case where IA is enabled, and 31.9ns in the case where IA is disabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
