I think you want to avoid the function call altogether. You could do something like: #define kvm_mmu_audit() if (static_branch((&mmu_audit_key))) { __kvm_mmu_audit(); } and s/kvm_mmu_audit/__kvm_mmu_audit That should give you a single nop for the case where kvm_mmu_audit is disabled instead of a function call.
