[PATCH kernel v3 1/3] x86/amd: Cache debug register values in percpu variables

From: Alexey Kardashevskiy
Date: Thu Jan 19 2023 - 22:12:32 EST


Reading DR[0-3]_ADDR_MASK MSRs takes about 250 cycles which is going to
be noticeable with the AMD KVM SEV-ES DebugSwap feature enabled.
KVM is going to store host's DR[0-3] and DR[0-3]_ADDR_MASK before
switching to a guest; the hardware is going to swap these on VMRUN
and VMEXIT.

Store MSR values passed to set_dr_addr_mask() in percpu variables
(when changed) and return them via new amd_get_dr_addr_mask().
The gain here is about 10x.

As set_dr_addr_mask() uses the array too, change the @dr type to
unsigned to avoid checking for <0. And give it the amd_ prefix to match
the new helper as the whole DR_ADDR_MASK feature is AMD-specific anyway.

While at it, replace deprecated boot_cpu_has() with cpu_feature_enabled()
in set_dr_addr_mask().

Changes:
v3:
* fixed commit log
* amd_msr_dr_addr_masks do not do "-1"
* store processor id in a local variable
* s/set_dr_addr_mask/amd_set_dr_addr_mask/

v2:
* reworked to use arrays
* set() skips wrmsr() when the mask is not changed
* added stub for get_dr_addr_mask()
* changed @dr type to unsigned
* s/boot_cpu_has/cpu_feature_enabled/
* added amd_ prefix
