Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] add xsaves/xrstors support
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2015 15:26:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1437118016-25547-1-git-send-email-shuai.ruan@intel.com> (raw)

Changes in v2:
* Address comments from Andrew/chao/Jan, mainly:
* Add details information of xsaves/xrstors feature.
* Remove XGETBV1/XSAVEC/XSAVEOPT out of 'else' in patch 3.
* Change macro name XGETBV to XGETBV1 in patch 4.

This patchset enable xsaves/xrstors feature which will be available on 
Intel Skylake and later platform. Like xsave/xrstor, xsaves/xrstors 
feature will save and load processor state from a region of memory called 
XSAVE area. While unlike xsave/xrstor, xsaves/xrstors:

a) use the compacted format only for the extended region 
   of the XSAVE area which saves memory for you;
b) can operate on supervisor state components so the feature
   is prerequisite to support new supervisor state components;
c) execute only if CPL=0. 

Detail hardware spec can be found in chapter 13 (section 13.11 13.12) of the 
Intel SDM [1].

patch1: add xsaves/xrstors support for pv guest
patch2: add xsaves/xrstors support for xen
patch3-5: add xsaves/xrstors support for hvm guest
patch6: swtich on detection of xsaves/xrstors/xgetbv in xen
