Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms for efficiently saving and recovering state of a processor core. In an embodiment, a processor core fetches and decodes a first instruction to generate a first decoded instruction, wherein the first instruction comprises a first opcode which corresponds to one or more components of the processor core. Execution of the first instruction comprises saving microarchitectural state of the one or more components to a memory of the core. In another embodiment, a processor core fetches and decodes a second instruction to generate a second decoded instruction, wherein the second instruction comprises a second opcode which corresponds to the same one or more components. Execution of the second instruction comprises restoring the microarchitectural state from the memory to the one or more components.
