Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate user wait instructions
Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2019 13:18:40 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1547673522-226408-6-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1547673522-226408-1-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com>

UMONITOR, UMWAIT, and TPAUSE are a set of user wait instructions.

UMONITOR arms address monitoring hardware using an address. A store
to an address within the specified address range triggers the
monitoring hardware to wake up the processor waiting in umwait.

UMWAIT instructs the processor to enter an implementation-dependent
optimized state while monitoring a range of addresses. The optimized
state may be either a light-weight power/performance optimized state
(c0.1 state) or an improved power/performance optimized state
(c0.2 state).

The UMONITOR and UMWAIT operate together to provide power saving
in idle.

TPAUSE instructs the processor to enter an implementation-dependent
optimized state c0.1 or c0.2 state and wake up when time-stamp counter
reaches specified timeout.

The three instructions may be executed at any privilege level.

Availability of the user wait instructions is indicated by the presence
of the CPUID feature flag WAITPKG CPUID.0x07.0x0:ECX[5].

Please check the latest Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions
and Future Features Programming Reference for more details on the
instructions and CPUID feature WAITPKG flag.
