When you successfully write 0 to /sys/devices/cpu/rdpmc, the RDPMC instruction should be disabled unconditionally and immediately (after you close the SYSFS file) by the documentation. Instead, in the current implementation the PMU must be reloaded which happens only eventually some time in the future. Only after that the RDPMC instruction becomes disabled (on ring 3) on the respective core. This change makes the treatment of the 0 value as blocking and as unconditional as the current treatment of the 2 value, only the CR4.PCE bit is naturally set to false instead of true.

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.
