Subject: [PATCH 5/5] KVM: x86: Expose Zhaoxin RSA CPUID feature
Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 17:36:33 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513093633.1608334-6-ewandevelop@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260513093633.1608334-1-ewandevelop@gmail.com>
Advertise the Zhaoxin big-number arithmetic engine to guests via
CPUID 0xC0000001 EDX bits 27 (RSA) and 28 (RSA_EN). The RSA feature
provides two user-mode instructions for modular arithmetic on big
integers, documented in the Zhaoxin PadLock Instruction Reference,
chapter 4 ("Modular Multiplication and Exponentiation Engine"). Both
support operand sizes from 256 to 32768 bits (in 128-bit increments):
- REP XMODEXP (encoding F3 0F A6 F8, subsection 4.1) computes
A^B mod M
- REP MONTMUL2 (encoding F3 0F A6 F0, subsection 4.2) computes
A*B mod M
REP MONTMUL2 is the long-mode replacement of legacy REP MONTMUL, which
is restricted to compatibility and 32-bit protected modes. These
primitives accelerate RSA and related public-key operations.
Both instructions are user-mode and available in all CPU modes, with no
associated MSR control. The RSA and RSA_EN bits are redundant by
hardware design (set or cleared together) and both serve purely as
CPUID-level feature-presence reporting flags requiring no KVM
emulation. Both bits are advertised because different software may
probe either one when checking for RSA availability.
