[PATCH v4 22/22] x86/fpu/xstate: Introduce boot-parameters to control state component support

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

 



"xstate.disable=0x60000" will disable AMX on a system that has AMX compiled
into XFEATURE_MASK_USER_ENABLED.

"xstate.enable=0x60000" will enable AMX on a system that does NOT have AMX
compiled into XFEATURE_MASK_USER_ENABLED (assuming the kernel is new enough
to support this feature).

Rename XFEATURE_MASK_USER_SUPPORTED to XFEATURE_MASK_USER_ENABLED to be
aligned with the new parameters.

While this cmdline is currently enabled only for AMX, it is intended to be
easily enabled to be useful for future XSAVE-enabled features.

Changes from v3:
* Fixed a few typos. (Randy Dunlap)

Changes from v2:
* Changed the kernel tainted when any unknown state is enabled. (Andy
  Lutomirski)
* Simplified the cmdline handling.
* Edited the changelog.

Changes from v1:
* Renamed the user state mask define (Andy Lutomirski and Dave Hansen)
* Changed the error message (Dave Hansen)
* Fixed xfeatures_mask_user()
* Rebased the upstream kernel (5.10) -- revived the param parse function

+			The kernel is compiled with a default xstate bitmask --
+			enabling it to use the XSAVE hardware to efficiently
+			save and restore thread states on context switch.
+			xstate.enable allows adding to that default mask at
+			boot-time without recompiling the kernel just to support
+			the new thread state. (Note that the kernel will ignore
+			any bits in the mask that do not correspond to features
+			that are actually available in CPUID.)  xstate.disable
+			allows clearing bits in the default mask, forcing the
+			kernel to forget that it supports the specified thread
+			state. When a bit set for both, the kernel takes
+			xstate.disable as a priority.
