x86: Check RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT for RTM [BZ #28033]
From
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000059422/processors.html
* Intel TSX will be disabled by default.
* The processor will force abort all Restricted Transactional Memory (RTM)
transactions by default.
* A new CPUID bit CPUID.07H.0H.EDX[11](RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT) will be enumerated,
which is set to indicate to updated software that the loaded microcode is
forcing RTM abort.
* On processors that enumerate support for RTM, the CPUID enumeration bits
for Intel TSX (CPUID.07H.0H.EBX[11] and CPUID.07H.0H.EBX[4]) continue to
be set by default after microcode update.
* Workloads that were benefited from Intel TSX might experience a change
in performance.
* System software may use a new bit in Model-Specific Register (MSR) 0x10F
TSX_FORCE_ABORT[TSX_CPUID_CLEAR] functionality to clear the Hardware Lock
Elision (HLE) and RTM bits to indicate to software that Intel TSX is
disabled.
1. Add RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT to CPUID features.
2. Set RTM usable only if RTM_ALWAYS_ABORT isn't set. This skips the
string/tst-memchr-rtm etc. testcases on the affected processors, which
always fail after a microcde update.
3. Check RTM feature, instead of usability, against /proc/cpuinfo.
This fixes BZ #28033.
