No, but that's all under #ifdef and fully disappears when not enabled.
Generic return-tu-user notifiers don't sound like they will though.

They will if not selected. If selected and not armed, they will have zero runtime impact since they piggyback on existing branches (_TIF_DO_NOTIFY_MASK and near relatives). If selected and armed they'll cause __switch_to_xtra() on every context switch and do_notity_resume() on syscall exit until disarmed, but then you've asked for it.
