I couldn’t find a hard answer to whether this supports EPYC only, or Ryzen too; so I put together this script to read the CPUID to detect for INVLPGB
support according to the AMD64 Programmer’s Manual, and my 7800X3D does not support INVLPGB
.
(Let me know if I’ve made an error though!)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
int main() {
uint32_t eax, ebx, ecx, edx;
eax = 0x80000008;
__asm__ __volatile__ (
"cpuid"
: "=a" (eax), "=b" (ebx), "=c" (ecx), "=d" (edx)
: "a" (eax)
);
printf("EBX: 0x%x\n", ebx);
if (ebx & (1 << 3)) {
printf("CPU supports INVLPGB\n");
} else {
printf("CPU does not support INVLPGB\n");
}
return 0;
}
That’s INVLPG
which has been there since the 486. The AMD64 Programmer’s Manual has some info on the differences between INVLPG
, INVLPGA
, and INVLPGB
though.
Ahh okay, that description kinda sounds like floppy drive power, but it probably is a proprietary thing.
