Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 00/32] x86: enable FRED for x86-64
This patch set enables FRED for x86-64, and it's based on the previous LKGS
patch set.
The Intel flexible return and event delivery (FRED) architecture defines simple
new transitions that change privilege level (ring transitions). The FRED
architecture was designed with the following goals:
1) Improve overall performance and response time by replacing event delivery
through the interrupt descriptor table (IDT event delivery) and event return by
the IRET instruction with lower latency transitions.
2) Improve software robustness by ensuring that event delivery establishes the
full supervisor context and that event return establishes the full user context.
The new transitions defined by the FRED architecture are FRED event delivery and,
for returning from events, two FRED return instructions. FRED event delivery can
effect a transition from ring 3 to ring 0, but it is used also to deliver events
incident to ring 0. One FRED instruction (ERETU) effects a return from ring 0 to
ring 3, while the other (ERETS) returns while remaining in ring 0.
In addition to these transitions, the FRED architecture defines a new instruction
(LKGS) for managing the state of the GS segment register. The LKGS instruction
can be used by 64-bit operating systems that do not use the new FRED transitions.
The Intel FRED architecture spec can be downloaded from:
https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/678938
As of now there is no publicly avaiable CPU supporting FRED, thus the Intel
Simics® Simulator is used as software development and testing vehicle. And
it can be downloaded from:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/simics-simulator.html
To enable FRED, Simics package 8112 QSP-CPU needs to be installed with CPU
model configured as:
$cpu_comp_class = "x86-experimental-fred"
Longer term, we should refactor common code shared by FRED and IDT into common
shared files, and contain IDT code using a new config CONFIG_X86_IDT.
TODO: call exc_raise_irq() to reinject IRQ in KVM VMX.
