[PATCH 10/17] platform/x86/intel/ifs: Validate TID_BIT_SHIFT matches topology_cluster_cpumask()

From: Ehab Ababneh

Date: Mon Oct 26 2026 - 14:37:49 EST


From: Qiuxu Zhuo <qiuxu.zhuo@xxxxxxxxx>

The intel_ifs driver assumes logical processors indicated by TID_BIT_SHIFT
[1] that share the same SCAN test engine match topology_cluster_cpumask().
Validate this assumption during driver initialization and fail loading if
it doesn't hold.

[1] Vol. 4 "Table 2-56. Additional MSRs Supported by the Intel® Xeon®
6 P-Core Processors" in the Intel Software Developers' Manual,
March 2025.
