To support APX functionality, the EVEX prefix is used to:

 - promote legacy instructions
 - promote VEX instructions
 - add new instructions

Promoted VEX instructions require no extra annotation because the opcodes
do not change and the permissive nature of the instruction decoder already
allows them to have an EVEX prefix.

Promoted legacy instructions and new instructions are placed in map 4 which
has not been used before.

Create a new table for map 4 and add APX instructions.

Annotate SCALABLE instructions with "(es)" - refer to patch "x86/insn: Add
support for APX EVEX to the instruction decoder logic". SCALABLE
instructions must be represented in both no-prefix (NP) and 66 prefix
forms.

Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) extends the EVEX prefix to
support:

 - extended general purpose registers (EGPRs) i.e. r16 to r31
 - Push-Pop Acceleration (PPX) hints
 - new data destination (NDD) register
 - suppress status flags writes (NF) of common instructions
 - new instructions

Refer to the Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (Intel APX) Architecture
Specification for details.

The extended EVEX prefix does not need amended instruction decoder logic,
except in one area. Some instructions are defined as SCALABLE which means
the EVEX.W bit and EVEX.pp bits are used to determine operand size.
Specifically, if an instruction is SCALABLE and EVEX.W is zero, then
EVEX.pp value 0 (representing no prefix NP) means default operand size,
whereas EVEX.pp value 1 (representing 66 prefix) means operand size
override i.e. 16 bits

Add an attribute (INAT_EVEX_SCALABLE) to identify such instructions, and
amend the logic appropriately.

Amend the awk script that generates the attribute tables from the opcode
map, to recognise "(es)" as attribute INAT_EVEX_SCALABLE.

Support for REX2 has been added to the instruction decoder logic and the
awk script that generates the attribute tables from the opcode map.

Add REX2 prefix byte (0xD5) to the opcode map.

Add annotation (!REX2) for map 0/1 opcodes that are reserved under REX2.

Add JMPABS to the opcode map and add annotation (REX2) to identify that it
has a mandatory REX2 prefix. A separate opcode attribute table is not
needed at this time because JMPABS has the same attribute encoding as the
MOV instruction that it shares an opcode with i.e. INAT_MOFFSET.

<content type='text'>
Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) uses a new 2-byte prefix named
REX2 to select extended general purpose registers (EGPRs) i.e. r16 to r31.

The REX2 prefix is effectively an extended version of the REX prefix.

REX2 and EVEX are also used with PUSH/POP instructions to provide a
Push-Pop Acceleration (PPX) hint. With PPX hints, a CPU will attempt to
fast-forward register data between matching PUSH and POP instructions.

REX2 is valid only with opcodes in maps 0 and 1. Similar extension for
other maps is provided by the EVEX prefix, covered in a separate patch.

Some opcodes in maps 0 and 1 are reserved under REX2. One of these is used
for a new 64-bit absolute direct jump instruction JMPABS.

Refer to the Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (Intel APX) Architecture
Specification for details.

Define a code value for the REX2 prefix (INAT_PFX_REX2), and add attribute
flags for opcodes reserved under REX2 (INAT_NO_REX2) and to identify
opcodes (only JMPABS) that require a mandatory REX2 prefix
(INAT_REX2_VARIANT).

Amend logic to read the REX2 prefix and get the opcode attribute for the
map number (0 or 1) encoded in the REX2 prefix.

Amend the awk script that generates the attribute tables from the opcode
map, to recognise "REX2" as attribute INAT_PFX_REX2, and "(!REX2)"
as attribute INAT_NO_REX2, and "(REX2)" as attribute INAT_REX2_VARIANT.

Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions and Future Features manual
number 319433-044 of May 2021, documented VEX versions of instructions
VPDPBUSD, VPDPBUSDS, VPDPWSSD and VPDPWSSDS, but the opcode map has them
listed as EVEX only.

Remove EVEX-only (ev) annotation from instructions VPDPBUSD, VPDPBUSDS,
VPDPWSSD and VPDPWSSDS, which allows them to be decoded with either a VEX
or EVEX prefix.

The x86 instruction decoder is used not only for decoding kernel
instructions. It is also used by perf uprobes (user space probes) and by
perf tools Intel Processor Trace decoding. Consequently, it needs to
support instructions executed by user space also.

Opcode 0x68 PUSH instruction is currently defined as 64-bit operand size
only i.e. (d64). That was based on Intel SDM Opcode Map. However that is
contradicted by the Instruction Set Reference section for PUSH in the
same manual.

Remove 64-bit operand size only annotation from opcode 0x68 PUSH
instruction.

Example:

  $ cat pushw.s
  .global  _start
  .text
  _start:
          pushw   $0x1234
          mov     $0x1,%eax   # system call number (sys_exit)
          int     $0x80
  $ as -o pushw.o pushw.s
  $ ld -s -o pushw pushw.o
  $ objdump -d pushw | tail -4
  0000000000401000 &lt;.text&gt;:
    401000:       66 68 34 12             pushw  $0x1234
    401004:       b8 01 00 00 00          mov    $0x1,%eax
    401009:       cd 80                   int    $0x80
  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./pushw
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data ]

 Before:

  $ perf script --insn-trace=disasm

Pull x86 FRED support from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Support for x86 Fast Return and Event Delivery (FRED).

  FRED is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most
  of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes:

   1) Exception cause registers like CR2 need to be manually preserved
      in nested exception scenarios.

   2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is suboptimal for nested
      exceptions as the interrupt stack mechanism rewinds the stack on
      each entry which requires a massive effort in the low level entry
      of #NMI code to handle this.

   3) No hardware distinction between entry from kernel or from user
      which makes establishing kernel context more complex than it needs
      to be especially for unconditionally nestable exceptions like NMI.

   4) NMI nesting caused by IRET unconditionally reenabling NMIs, which
      is a problem when the perf NMI takes a fault when collecting a
      stack trace.

   5) Partial restore of ESP when returning to a 16-bit segment

   6) Limitation of the vector space which can cause vector exhaustion
      on large systems.

   7) Inability to differentiate NMI sources

  FRED addresses these shortcomings by:

   1) An extended exception stack frame which the CPU uses to save
      exception cause registers. This ensures that the meta information
      for each exception is preserved on stack and avoids the extra
      complexity of preserving it in software.

   2) Hardware interrupt stack switching is non-rewinding if a nested
      exception uses the currently interrupt stack.

   3) The entry points for kernel and user context are separate and GS
      BASE handling which is required to establish kernel context for
      per CPU variable access is done in hardware.

   4) NMIs are now nesting protected. They are only reenabled on the
      return from NMI.

   5) FRED guarantees full restore of ESP

   6) FRED does not put a limitation on the vector space by design
      because it uses a central entry points for kernel and user space
      and the CPUstores the entry type (exception, trap, interrupt,
      syscall) on the entry stack along with the vector number. The
      entry code has to demultiplex this information, but this removes
      the vector space restriction.

      The first hardware implementations will still have the current
      restricted vector space because lifting this limitation requires
      further changes to the local APIC.

   7) FRED stores the vector number and meta information on stack which
      allows having more than one NMI vector in future hardware when the
      required local APIC changes are in place.

  The series implements the initial FRED support by:

   - Reworking the existing entry and IDT handling infrastructure to
     accomodate for the alternative entry mechanism.

   - Expanding the stack frame to accomodate for the extra 16 bytes FRED
     requires to store context and meta information

   - Providing FRED specific C entry points for events which have
     information pushed to the extended stack frame, e.g. #PF and #DB.

   - Providing FRED specific C entry points for #NMI and #MCE

   - Implementing the FRED specific ASM entry points and the C code to
     demultiplex the events

   - Providing detection and initialization mechanisms and the necessary
     tweaks in context switching, GS BASE handling etc.

  The FRED integration aims for maximum code reuse vs the existing IDT
  implementation to the extent possible and the deviation in hot paths
  like context switching are handled with alternatives to minimalize the
  impact. The low level entry and exit paths are seperate due to the
  extended stack frame and the hardware based GS BASE swichting and
  therefore have no impact on IDT based systems.

  It has been extensively tested on existing systems and on the FRED
  simulation and as of now there are no outstanding problems"
