[PATCH 0/2] x86: Enumerate direct stores instructions

[PATCH 0/2] x86: Enumerate direct stores instructions

[Fenghua Yu]

Direct stores instructionis MOVDIRI and MOVDIR64B will be available in
Tremont and other future x86 processors.

This patch set enumerates the instructions through CPUID.

GCC 8 implements intrinsics for the direct stores instructions.
User can try these instructions from GCC tree:
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=summary
Before running the instructions, user needs to check availability of
the features by CPUID, or /proc/cpuinfo, etc.

Detailed information on the instructions and the MSR can be found in
the latest Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions and Future
Features Programming Reference at
https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/c5/15/architecture-instruction-set-extensions-programming-reference.pdf

Please note: this patch set was sent out with umonitor/umwait/tpause
instructions patches before. But since we find the other patches are not
fully ready yet, this time these direct stores instructions patches are
sent out separately.

[PATCH 1/2] x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate MOVDIRI instruction

[Fenghua Yu]

MOVDIRI moves doubleword or quadword from register to memory through
direct store which is implemented by using write combining (WC) for
writing data directly into memory without caching the data.

Programmable agents can handle streaming offload (e.g. high speed packet
processing in network). Hardware implements a doorbell (tail pointer)
register that is updated by software when adding new work-elements to
the streaming offload work-queue.

MOVDIRI can be used as the doorbell write which is a 4-byte or 8-byte
uncachable write to MMIO. MOVDIRI has lower overhead than other ways
to write the doorbell.

Availability of the MOVDIRI instruction is indicated by the presence of
the CPUID feature flag MOVDIRI(CPUID.0x07.0x0:ECX[bit 27]).

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

[PATCH 2/2] x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate MOVDIR64B instruction

[Fenghua Yu]

MOVDIR64B moves 64-bytes as direct-store with 64-bytes write atomicity.
Direct store is implemented by using write combining (WC) for writing
data directly into memory without caching the data.

In low latency offload (e.g. Non-Volatile Memory, etc), MOVDIR64B writes
work descriptors (and data in some cases) to device-hosted work-queues
atomically without cache pollution.

Availability of the MOVDIR64B instruction is indicated by the
presence of the CPUID feature flag MOVDIR64B (CPUID.0x07.0x0:ECX[bit 28]).

Please check the latest Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions
and Future Features Programming Reference for more details on the CPUID
feature MOVDIR64B flag.
