MOVDIR64B moves 64-bytes as direct-store with 64-bytes write atomicity. Direct store is implemented by using write combining (WC) for writing data directly into memory without caching the data. In low latency offload (e.g. Non-Volatile Memory, etc), MOVDIR64B writes work descriptors (and data in some cases) to device-hosted work-queues atomically without cache pollution. Availability of the MOVDIR64B instruction is indicated by the presence of the CPUID feature flag MOVDIR64B (CPUID.0x07.0x0:ECX[bit 28]). Please check the latest Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions and Future Features Programming Reference for more details on the CPUID feature MOVDIR64B flag.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
