[PATCH 0/3] x86/cpu: Add Bus Lock Detect support for AMD

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

 



Upcoming AMD uarch will support Bus Lock Detect (called Bus Lock Trap
in AMD docs). Add support for the same in Linux. Bus Lock Detect is
enumerated with cpuid CPUID Fn0000_0007_ECX_x0 bit [24 / BUSLOCKTRAP].
It can be enabled through MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR. When enabled, hardware
clears DR6[11] and raises a #DB exception on occurrence of Bus Lock if
CPL > 0. More detail about the feature can be found in AMD APM[1].

Patches are prepared on tip/x86/cpu (e063b531d4e8)

Patch #3 depends on SEV-ES LBRV fix:
