[PATCH 1/7] x86/cpufeatures: Add support for L3 Smart Data Cache Injection Allocation Enforcement

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

 



Smart Data Cache Injection (SDCI) is a mechanism that enables direct
insertion of data from I/O devices into the L3 cache. By directly caching
data from I/O devices rather than first storing the I/O data in DRAM,
SDCI reduces demands on DRAM bandwidth and reduces latency to the processor
consuming the I/O data.

The SDCIAE (SDCI Allocation Enforcement) PQE feature allows system software
to limit the portion of the L3 cache used for SDCI.

When enabled, SDCIAE forces all SDCI lines to be placed into the L3 cache
partitions identified by the highest-supported L3_MASK_n register where n
maximum supported CLOSID.

Add CPUID feature bit that can be used to configure SDCIAE.

The feature details are documented in APM listed below [1].
