Could we do the sysreg writing under this 'if' block? If no app is using GCS (which would be the case for a while), it looks like unnecessary sysreg accesses.
Yes, that should be fine I think.
I forgot when writing the above that we always allow reads from GCSPR_EL0 in order to avoid corner cases for unwinders in the case of asynchronous disable. I'd expect that to be cheap to access though.
