Zhao Yakui 3d65188e54 HV: Refine the usage of monitor/mwait to avoid the possible lockup
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.
