Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86/asm: Add MONITORX/MWAITX insns support
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2015 12:19:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1439201994-28067-3-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1439201994-28067-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de>

From: Huang Rui <ray.huang@amd.com>

AMD Carrizo processors (Family 15h, Models 60h-6fh) add a new feature
called MWAITX (MWAIT with extensions) as an extension to MONITOR/MWAIT.

This new instruction controls a configurable timer which causes the core
to exit wait state on timer expiration, in addition to "normal" MWAIT
condition of reading from a monitored VA.

Compared to MONITOR/MWAIT, there are minor differences in opcode and
input parameters:

MWAITX ECX[1]: enable timer if set
MWAITX EBX[31:0]: max wait time expressed in SW P0 clocks == TSC.
The software P0 frequency is the same as the TSC frequency.

                MWAIT                           MWAITX
opcode          0f 01 c9           |            0f 01 fb
ECX[0]                  value of RFLAGS.IF seen by instruction
ECX[1]          unused/#GP if set  |            enable timer if set
ECX[31:2]                     unused/#GP if set
EAX                           unused (reserve for hint)
EBX[31:0]       unused             |            max wait time (SW P0 == TSC)

                MONITOR                         MONITORX
opcode          0f 01 c8           |            0f 01 fa
EAX                     (logical) address to monitor
ECX                     #GP if not zero

Max timeout = EBX/(TSC frequency)
