2022-07-10	platform/x86/intel/ifs: Mark as BROKEN	Hans de Goede	1	-0/+3
	A recent suggested change to the IFS code has shown that the userspace API needs a bit more work, see: https://lore.kernel.org/platform-driver-x86/20220708151938.986530-1-jithu.joseph@intel.com/ Mark it as BROKEN before 5.19 ships, to give ourselves one more kernel-devel cycle to get the userspace API right.

2022-05-19	platform/x86/intel/ifs: Add CPU_SUP_INTEL dependency	Borislav Petkov	1	-1/+1
	The driver is using functions from a compilation unit which is enabled by CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL. Add that dependency to Kconfig explicitly otherwise: drivers/platform/x86/intel/ifs/load.o: in function `ifs_load_firmware': load.c:(.text+0x3b8): undefined reference to `intel_cpu_collect_info' Reported-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/YoZay8YR0zRGyVu+@zn.tnic Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
2022-05-12	platform/x86/intel/ifs: Add stub driver for In-Field Scan	Tony Luck	1	-0/+13
	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.
