[PATCH v6 5/6] x86/cpufeature: Detect CPUID faulting support

From: Kyle Huey
Date: Mon Sep 26 2016 - 17:54:32 EST


Intel supports faulting on the CPUID instruction beginning with Ivy Bridge.
When enabled, the processor will fault on attempts to execute the CPUID
instruction with CPL>0. This will allow a ptracer to emulate the CPUID
instruction.

Bit 31 of MSR_PLATFORM_INFO advertises support for this feature. It is
documented in detail in Section 2.3.2 of
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/application-notes/virtualization-technology-flexmigration-application-note.pdf

Detect support for this feature and expose it as X86_FEATURE_CPUID_FAULT.
