Subject: [PATCH v4 2/4] x86/phi: Add enabling of the R3MWAIT during boot
Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2016 12:02:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1476784971-23872-3-git-send-email-grzegorz.andrejczuk@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1476784971-23872-1-git-send-email-grzegorz.andrejczuk@intel.com>

If processor is Intel Xeon Phi we enable user-level mwait feature.
Enabling this feature suppreses invalid-opcode error, when MONITOR/MWAIT
is called from ring 3.
