[RFC PATCH v3 23/32] x86/fred: update MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 during task switch

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

 



From: "H. Peter Anvin (Intel)" <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>

MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 is used during ring 3 event delivery, and needs to
be updated to point to the top of next task stack during task switch.

Update MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 with WRMSR instruction for now, and will use
WRMSRNS/WRMSRLIST for performance once it gets upstreamed.
