x86/asm: Add MONITORX/MWAITX instruction support
AMD Carrizo processors (Family 15h, Models 60h-6fh) added a new
feature called MWAITX (MWAIT with extensions) as an extension to
MONITOR/MWAIT.
This new instruction controls a configurable timer which causes
the core to exit wait state on timer expiration, in addition to
"normal" MWAIT condition of reading from a monitored VA.
Compared to MONITOR/MWAIT, there are minor differences in opcode
and input parameters:
MWAITX ECX[1]: enable timer if set
MWAITX EBX[31:0]: max wait time expressed in SW P0 clocks ==
TSC. The software P0 frequency is the same as the TSC frequency.
MWAIT MWAITX
opcode 0f 01 c9 | 0f 01 fb
ECX[0] value of RFLAGS.IF seen by instruction
ECX[1] unused/#GP if set | enable timer if set
ECX[31:2] unused/#GP if set
EAX unused (reserve for hint)
EBX[31:0] unused | max wait time (SW P0 == TSC)
MONITOR MONITORX
opcode 0f 01 c8 | 0f 01 fa
EAX (logical) address to monitor
ECX #GP if not zero
Max timeout = EBX/(TSC frequency)
