    x86/asm: Add MONITORX/MWAITX instruction support · f9675674
    Huang Rui 提交于
    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)
