[PATCH v2 6/8] x86: Add hardware prefetch control support for x86

Kohei Tarumizu tarumizu.kohei at fujitsu.com
Fri Mar 11 02:19:38 PST 2022


This adds module init/exit code, and creates sysfs attribute file
"hardware_prefetcher_enable", "ip_prefetcher_enable" and
"adjacent_cache_line_prefetcher_enable" for x86. This driver works
only if the model is INTEL_FAM6_BROADWELL_X at this point.

If you would like to support a new model with the same register
specifications as INTEL_FAM6_BROADWELL_X, it is possible to add the
model settings to array of broadwell_cpu_ids[].

The details of the registers to be read and written in this patch are
described below:
