Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] x86/kvm: Expose new features for supported cpuid
Date: Sun,  9 Aug 2020 15:47:22 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1596959242-2372-3-git-send-email-cathy.zhang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1596959242-2372-1-git-send-email-cathy.zhang@intel.com>

Expose the SERIALIZE and TSX Suspend Load Address Tracking
features in KVM CPUID, so when running on processors which
support them, KVM could pass this information to guests and
they can make use of these features accordingly.

SERIALIZE is a faster serializing instruction which does not modify
registers, arithmetic flags or memory, will not cause VM exit. It's
availability is indicated by CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):ECX[bit 14].

TSX suspend load tracking instruction aims to give a way to choose
which memory accesses do not need to be tracked in the TSX read set.
It's availability is indicated as CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):EDX[bit 16].

Those instructions are currently documented in the the latest "extensions"
manual (ISE). It will appear in the "main" manual (SDM) in the future.
