subetha-core 0.1.0

Substrate for the CXC / SubEtha IPC stack: handshake header, observation ring, migration generation, marshal trait, CPU-feature CPUID helpers, and the AxisSignature direction catalog.
Documentation
//! Tiny CPUID feature-detection surface that adaptive primitives
//! across the SubEtha workspace consult to gate
//! hardware-acceleration paths.
//!
//! The substrate exposes:
//!
//! - [`has_waitpkg`] - is the WAITPKG ISA extension
//!   (`UMONITOR` / `UMWAIT` / `TPAUSE`) available?
//! - [`has_movdir64b`] - is the MOVDIR64B ISA extension (atomic
//!   non-temporal 64-byte cache-line store) available?
//!
//! WAITPKG was introduced on Intel Tremont (2019) and Tiger Lake
//! (2020) microarchitectures, and on AMD Zen 5 (2024). Hosts older
//! than that need a `PAUSE`-spin fallback; primitives that wait on
//! a cache line (e.g. `SharedDequeUrd` in `subetha-cxc`) pick the
//! wait strategy at runtime by calling this function once and
//! caching the result.
//!
//! MOVDIR64B was introduced on Intel Tremont (2019) and Tiger Lake
//! (2020), and on AMD Zen 5 (2024). It is the atomic 64-byte
//! non-temporal store; `SharedDequeUrd` uses it to publish a whole
//! mailbox line in one transaction, eliminating the cross-CCX
//! coherence-upgrade traffic that the byte-by-byte fallback path
//! pays on hosts without it.
//!
//! Both flags are probed via CPUID leaf 7 sub-leaf 0
//! (`Structured Extended Feature Flags`): ECX bit 5 = WAITPKG,
//! ECX bit 28 = MOVDIR64B.
