From bf80734b2ce080cd75f4b57be47e37465e8901f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Orr Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2014 05:42:22 -0600 Subject: x86 isa: This patch attempts an implementation at mwait. Mwait works as follows: 1. A cpu monitors an address of interest (monitor instruction) 2. A cpu calls mwait - this loads the cache line into that cpu's cache. 3. The cpu goes to sleep. 4. When another processor requests write permission for the line, it is evicted from the sleeping cpu's cache. This eviction is forwarded to the sleeping cpu, which then wakes up.
