摘要:
Method, apparatus, and system for a programmable event-driven yield mechanism. The mechanism may disrupt processing of a program to deliver a yield event. The event may be treated as a fault-like yield event or a trap-like event. For a fault-like yield event, the faulting instruction is canceled before retirement and processor state is not updated before the yield event is delivered. For a trap-like yield event the instruction causing the trap is retired and the yield event is delivered on an interrupt boundary. Multiple pending yield events may be handled according to priority. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

A technique for managing context state information enables a reduced number of save and restore operations. At least one embodiment includes a plurality of save area segments to store a plurality of machine context state information, which can be saved into the segments and restored to the machine state. One embodiment includes at least one in-use bit vector to indicate status of the plurality of machine context information stored in the segments, and another vector associated with the machine state.

Embodiments of an invention related to context state management based on processor features are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor includes instruction logic and state management logic. The instruction logic is to receive a state management instruction having a parameter to identify a subset of the features supported by the processor. The state management logic is to perform a state management operation specified by the state management instruction.
