With the introduction of MOVDIR64B instruction, there is now an instruction
that can write 64 bytes of data atomically.
Quoting from Intel SDM:
"There is no atomicity guarantee provided for the 64-byte load operation
from source address, and processor implementations may use multiple
load operations to read the 64-bytes. The 64-byte direct-store issued
by MOVDIR64B guarantees 64-byte write-completion atomicity. This means
that the data arrives at the destination in a single undivided 64-byte
write transaction."
We have identified at least 3 different use cases for this instruction in
the format of func(dst, src, count):
1) Clear poison / Initialize MKTME memory
@dst is normal memory.
@src in normal memory. Does not increment. (Copy same line to all
targets)
@count (to clear/init multiple lines)
2) Submit command(s) to new devices
@dst is a special MMIO region for a device. Does not increment.
@src is normal memory. Increments.
@count usually is 1, but can be multiple.
3) Copy to iomem in big chunks
@dst is iomem and increments
@src in normal memory and increments
@count is number of chunks to copy
Add support for case #2 to support device that will accept commands via
this instruction. We provide a @count in order to submit a batch of
preprogrammed descriptors in virtually contiguous memory. This
allows the caller to submit multiple descriptors to a devices with a single
submission. The special device requires the entire 64bytes descriptor to
be written atomically and will accept MOVDIR64B instruction.
