    x86: KVM: Advertise AMX-FP16 CPUID to user space · af2872f6
    Chang S. Bae authored
    Latest Intel platform Granite Rapids has introduced a new instruction -
    AMX-FP16, which performs dot-products of two FP16 tiles and accumulates
    the results into a packed single precision tile. AMX-FP16 adds FP16
    capability and also allows a FP16 GPU trained model to run faster
    without loss of accuracy or added SW overhead.
    
    The bit definition:
    CPUID.(EAX=7,ECX=1):EAX[bit 21]
    
    AMX-FP16 is on an expected-dense CPUID leaf and some other bits on this
    leaf have kernel usages. Given that, define this feature bit like
    X86_FEATURE_<name> in kernel. Considering AMX-FP16 itself has no truly
    kernel usages and /proc/cpuinfo has too much unreadable flags, hide this
    one in /proc/cpuinfo.
    
    Advertise AMX-FP16 to KVM userspace. This is safe because there are no
    new VMX controls or additional host enabling required for guests to use
    this feature.
