[PATCH 08/17] platform/x86/intel/ifs: Enumerate the bit to determine if CPUs need to join for IFS tests

From: Ehab Ababneh

Date: Mon Oct 26 2026 - 14:45:38 EST


From: Jithu Joseph <jithu.joseph@xxxxxxxxx>

Starting with Granite Rapids (GNR), bit 21 (ALL_LP_JOIN_NEEDED) of
MSR_INTEGRITY_CAPABILITIES register [1] indicates whether all CPUs sharing
the scan test engine need to be tested together. These CPUs must join
using MSR_ACTIVATE_SCAN.

Add an enumeration of bit 21 to determine if CPUs need to join to run IFS
tests together.

[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.
