Fenghua Yu 227a06553f tools/objtool: Check for use of the ENQCMD instruction in the kernel
The ENQCMD instruction implicitly accesses the PASID_MSR to fill in the
pasid field of the descriptor being submitted to an accelerator. But
there is no precise (and stable across kernel changes) point at which
the PASID_MSR is updated from the value for one task to the next.

Kernel code that uses accelerators must always use the ENQCMDS instruction
which does not access the PASID_MSR.

Check for use of the ENQCMD instruction in the kernel and warn on its
usage.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
