x86/asm: Add MONITORX/MWAITX instruction support
AMD Carrizo processors (Family 15h, Models 60h-6fh) added 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) Signed-off-by: NHuang Rui <ray.huang@amd.com> Signed-off-by: NBorislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andreas Herrmann <herrmann.der.user@gmail.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.j.brandewie@intel.com> Cc: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: H.
