[RFC PATCH 01/16] x86/split_lock: Add CONFIG and enumerate #AC exception for split locked access feature

From: Fenghua Yu
Date: Sun May 27 2018 - 11:47:31 EST


#AC for split lock is supported on Tremont and future processors. We
need to enumerate the feature on processors.

Add CONFIG_SPLIT_LOCK_AC (default: y, dependent on X86 and CPU_SUP_INTEL)
to control inclusion of the feature.

Bit 29 in MSR TEST_CTL 0x33 can only be set on processors that support
the feature. On processors not supporting the feature, the bit is reserved
i.e. can not be set as one) or the MSR doesn't exist.

To detect the feature, attempt to set the bit in the MSR. If the writing
succeeds, the feature is available. Otherwise, the feature is not
supported on this platform.

And the enumeration happens before SMP so all processors can use
enumerated result when SMP boots.

test_ctl.c is created to contain majority of split lock code. Hopefully
more features related to MSR_TEST_CTL will be added to the file and
share some code with split lock in future.

More information on the bit 29 and MSR TEST_CTL can be found in the latest
Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions and Future Features
Programming Reference.
