Based on SDM Vol2 the monitor uses the RAX register to setup the address
monitored by HW. The mwait uses the rax/rcx as the hints that the process
will enter. It is incorrect that the same value is used for monitor/mwait.
The ecx in mwait specifies the optional externsions.
At the same time it needs to check whether the the value of monitored addr
is already expected before entering mwait. Otherwise it will have possible
lockup.
V1->V2: Add the asm wrappper of monitor/mwait to avoid the mixed usage of
inline assembly in wait_sync_change
v2-v3: Remove the unnecessary line break in asm_monitor/asm_mwait.
Follow Fei's comment to remove the mwait ecx hint setting that
treats the interrupt as break event. It only needs to check whether the
value of psync_change is already expected.

ACRN Hypervisor ############### The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the "ACRN Device Model". The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and embedded devices. You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_ website. .. _`Project ACRN`: https://projectacrn.org .. _`ACRN Hypervisor`: https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor .. _`Project ACRN documentation`: https://projectacrn.github.io/
