[PATCH v4 2/2] x86/kvm: Expose TSX Suspend Load Tracking feature

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



TSX suspend load tracking instruction is supported by
Intel processor, Sapphire Rapids. It aims to give a
way to choose which memory accesses do not need to be
tracked in the TSX read set. It's availability is indicated
as CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=0):EDX[bit 16].

Expose TSX Suspend Load Address Tracking feature in KVM
CPUID, so KVM could pass this information to guests and
they can make use of this feature accordingly.
