* x86, xsave: keep the XSAVE feature mask as an u64H. Peter Anvin2008-07-30
| | | | | | | | | The XSAVE feature mask is a 64-bit number; keep it that way, in order to avoid the mistake done with rdmsr/wrmsr. Use the xsetbv() function provided in the previous patch. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* x86, xsave: save/restore the extended state context in sigframeSuresh Siddha2008-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On cpu's supporting xsave/xrstor, fpstate pointer in the sigcontext, will include the extended state information along with fpstate information. Presence of extended state information is indicated by the presence of FP_XSTATE_MAGIC1 at fpstate.sw_reserved.magic1 and FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2 at fpstate + (fpstate.sw_reserved.extended_size - FP_XSTATE_MAGIC2_SIZE). Extended feature bit mask that is saved in the memory layout is represented by the fpstate.sw_reserved.xstate_bv For RT signal frames, UC_FP_XSTATE in the uc_flags also indicate the presence of extended state information in the sigcontext's fpstate pointer.

* x86, xsave: context switch support using xsave/xrstorSuresh Siddha2008-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Uses xsave/xrstor (instead of traditional fxsave/fxrstor) in context switch when available. Introduces TS_XSAVE flag, which determine the need to use xsave/xrstor instructions during context switch instead of the legacy fxsave/fxrstor instructions. Thread-synchronous status word is already in L1 cache during this code patch and thus minimizes the performance penality compared to (cpu_has_xsave) checks.

* x86, xsave: enable xsave/xrstor on cpus with xsave supportSuresh Siddha2008-07-30
Enables xsave/xrstor by turning on cr4.osxsave on cpu's which have the xsave support. For now, features that OS supports/enabled are FP and SSE. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
