[PATCH 00/17] platform/x86/intel/ifs: Support group-based In-Field Scan and Diamond Rapids
From: Ehab Ababneh
Date: Mon Oct 26 2026 - 14:38:04 EST
Some Intel Xeon processors, starting with Diamond Rapids (DMR), share
one SCAN test engine between multiple CPU cores in a module (Dual-Core
Module, DCM), instead of only between the threads of a single core. All
logical processors that share an engine must start the In-Field Scan
(IFS) test at the same time. The current driver assumes the sharing
domain is cpu_smt_mask(), which does not hold on these systems. Also,
although the cores in a module are tested together, each core gets its
own result: on a DCM, one core can pass while the other fails.
This series:
- Patch 1 removes the SBAF test, which is not planned for any CPU and
whose test images were never published.
- Patches 2-6 are cleanups and preparatory refactoring (comment fixes,
clearer MSR bit names, u64 MSR bitfields, early return on image
errors, a generic Array BIST parameter struct). Patches 2-4 have no
functional change.
- Patch 7 adds stop_cluster_cpuslocked(), the cluster-level counterpart
of stop_core_cpuslocked(), so that all threads of a cluster can
rendezvous and issue WRMSR at the same time.
- Patches 8-10 enumerate ALL_LP_JOIN_NEEDED, select the CPUs to test
together from topology_cluster_cpumask(), and check at driver init
that TID_BIT_SHIFT matches that mask.
- Patches 11-13 record per-CPU results for group tests and expose them
through new sysfs files (status_list, details_list, cpus_ran_list,
addnl_details_list). The existing status and details files remain,
but now report the result of the CPU written to run_test rather than
the first CPU in the group.
- Patch 14 adds Diamond Rapids to the CPU match table.
- Patch 15 removes the 256 limit on the batch file number.
- Patches 16-17 update the IFS documentation and ABI document.
Most of this series was developed by Jithu Joseph and Qiuxu Zhuo, who
have both since left Intel. I have taken over upstreaming it, so please
send questions and review comments to me. The patches keep their
original authorship and Signed-off-by tags. Where Qiuxu changed a patch
written by someone else, the change is noted in brackets in the commit
message, and I have added my Signed-off-by to every patch.
