Subject: [PATCH v3 16/28] x86/cpu: Rework AMD masking MSR setup
Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 15:35:12 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458056124-8024-17-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1458056124-8024-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>

This patch is best reviewed as its end result rather than as a diff, as it
rewrites almost all of the setup.

On the BSP, cpuid information is used to evaluate the potential available set
of masking MSRs, and they are unconditionally probed, filling in the
availability information and hardware defaults.

The command line parameters are then combined with the hardware defaults to
further restrict the Xen default masking level.  Each cpu is then context
switched into the default levelling state.

v3:
 * Fix the interaction of the fast-forward bits with the override MSRs.
 * Style fixups.
v2:
 * Provide extra information if opt_cpu_info
 * Extra comment indicating the expected use of amd_ctxt_switch_levelling()
