Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate TSX suspend load address tracking instructions
Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2020 15:47:21 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1596959242-2372-2-git-send-email-cathy.zhang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1596959242-2372-1-git-send-email-cathy.zhang@intel.com>
From: Kyung Min Park <kyung.min.park@intel.com>
Intel TSX suspend load tracking instructions aim to give a way to
choose which memory accesses do not need to be tracked in the TSX
read set. Add TSX suspend load tracking CPUID feature flag TSXLDTRK
for enumeration.
A processor supports Intel TSX suspend load address tracking if
CPUID.0x07.0x0:EDX[16] is present. Two instructions XSUSLDTRK, XRESLDTRK
are available when this feature is present.
The CPU feature flag is shown as "tsxldtrk" in /proc/cpuinfo.
This instruction is currently documented in the the latest "extensions"
manual (ISE). It will appear in the "main" manual (SDM) in the future.
