Tony Luck 67896ef13c platform/x86/intel/ifs: Add stub driver for In-Field Scan
Cloud Service Providers that operate fleets of servers have reported
[1] occasions where they can detect that a CPU has gone bad due to
effects like electromigration, or isolated manufacturing defects.
However, that detection method is A/B testing seemingly random
application failures looking for a pattern. In-Field Scan (IFS) is
a driver for a platform capability to load a crafted 'scan image'
to run targeted low level diagnostics outside of the CPU's architectural
error detection capabilities.

Stub version of driver just does initial part of check for the IFS
feature. MSR_IA32_CORE_CAPS must enumerate the presence of the
MSR_INTEGRITY_CAPS MSR.

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.

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.
