3.8Intel® 64 Architecture x2APIC

The x2APIC architecture extends the xAPIC architecture that provides key mechanisms for interrupt delivery. This extension is primarily intended to increase processor addressability.

Specifically, x2APIC:

•Retains all key elements of compatibility to the xAPIC architecture:

—Delivery modes

—Interrupt and processor priorities

—Interrupt sources

—Interrupt destination types

•Provides extensions to scale processor addressability for both the logical and physical destination modes

•Adds new features to enhance performance of interrupt delivery

•Reduces complexity of logical destination mode interrupt delivery on link based architectures

The key enhancements provided by the x2APIC architecture over xAPIC are the following:

•Support for two modes of operation to provide backward compatibility and extensibility for future platform innovations:

—In xAPIC compatibility mode, APIC registers are accessed through memory mapped interface to a 4K-Byte page, identical to the xAPIC architecture.

—In x2APIC mode, APIC registers are accessed through Model Specific Register (MSR) interfaces. In this mode, the x2APIC architecture provides significantly increased processor addressability and some enhancements on interrupt delivery.

•Increased range of processor addressability in x2APIC mode:

—Physical xAPIC ID field increases from 8 bits to 32 bits, allowing for interrupt processor addressability up to 4G–1 processors in physical destination mode. A processor implementation of x2APIC architecture can support fewer than 32- bits in a software transparent fashion.

—Logical xAPIC ID field increases from 8 bits to 32 bits. The 32-bit logical x2APIC ID is partitioned into two sub-fields – a 16-bit cluster ID and a 16-bit logical ID within the cluster. Consequently, ((2^20) – 16) processors can be addressed in logical destination mode. Processor implementations can support fewer than 16 bits in the cluster ID sub-field and logical ID sub-field in a software agnostic fashion.

•More efficient MSR interface to access APIC registers:

—To enhance inter-processor and self-directed interrupt delivery as well as the ability to virtualize the local APIC, the APIC register set can be accessed only through MSR-based interfaces in x2APIC mode. The Memory Mapped IO (MMIO) interface used by xAPIC is not supported in x2APIC mode.
