From 58edfd2e0a93c9adc2f29902a0335af0584041a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Chang S. Bae" Date: Thu, 28 May 2020 16:13:50 -0400 Subject: x86/fsgsbase/64: Enable FSGSBASE instructions in helper functions Add cpu feature conditional FSGSBASE access to the relevant helper functions. That allows to accelerate certain FS/GS base operations in subsequent changes. Note, that while possible, the user space entry/exit GSBASE operations are not going to use the new FSGSBASE instructions. The reason is that it would require additional storage for the user space value which adds more complexity to the low level code and experiments have shown marginal benefit. This may be revisited later but for now the SWAPGS based handling in the entry code is preserved except for the paranoid entry/exit code. To preserve the SWAPGS entry mechanism introduce __[rd|wr]gsbase_inactive() helpers. Note, for Xen PV, paravirt hooks can be added later as they might allow a very efficient but different implementation.
