[PATCH v3 0/4] x86/cpu: Add Bus Lock Detect support for AMD

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

 



Add Bus Lock Detect (called Bus Lock Trap in AMD docs) support for AMD
platforms. Bus Lock Detect is enumerated with 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/master (435dfff07e5b).

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240712093943.1288-1-ravi.bangoria@xxxxxxx
v2->v3:
 - Fix build failure reported by LKP test bot
 - Reword commit messages

Note:
A Qemu fix is also require to handle a corner case where a hardware
instruction or data breakpoint is created by Qemu remote debugger (gdb)
on the same instruction which also causes a Bus Lock. Qemu patch to
handle it can be found at:
