x86/asm: Add MONITORX/MWAITX instruction support
AMD Carrizo processors (Family 15h, Models 60h-6fh) added a new feature called MWAITX (MWAIT with extensions) as an extension to MONITOR/MWAIT. This new instruction controls a configurable timer which causes the core to exit wait state on timer expiration, in addition to "normal" MWAIT condition of reading from a monitored VA. Compared to MONITOR/MWAIT, there are minor differences in opcode and input parameters: MWAITX ECX[1]: enable timer if set MWAITX EBX[31:0]: max wait time expressed in SW P0 clocks == TSC. The software P0 frequency is the same as the TSC frequency. MWAIT MWAITX opcode 0f 01 c9 | 0f 01 fb ECX[0] value of RFLAGS.IF seen by instruction ECX[1] unused/#GP if set | enable timer if set ECX[31:2] unused/#GP if set EAX unused (reserve for hint) EBX[31:0] unused | max wait time (SW P0 == TSC) MONITOR MONITORX opcode 0f 01 c8 | 0f 01 fa EAX (logical) address to monitor ECX #GP if not zero Max timeout = EBX/(TSC frequency) Signed-off-by: Huang Rui <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Cc: Aaron Lu <[email protected]> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <[email protected]> Cc: Andreas Herrmann <[email protected]> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]> Cc: Dave Hansen <[email protected]> Cc: Dirk Brandewie <[email protected]> Cc: Fengguang Wu <[email protected]> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <[email protected]> Cc: H.
