TL;DR this driver loads scan test files that can check whether silicon
in a CPU core is still running correctly. It is expected that these tests
would be run several times per day to catch problems as silicon ages.
Changes since v6
Thomas Gleixner
---------------
"struct workqueue_struct *ifs_wq; Seems to be unused."
True. Deleted.
"static bool oscan_enabled = true; What changes this?"
Code that cleared it deleted. Drop this too.
"Please add curly brackets as these are not one-line statements"
Added
cpumask_first(topology_sibling_cpumask(cpu)); Shouldn't that be cpu_smt_mask()?"
Changed (and several other places)
"take up to 200 milliseconds before it retires. 200ms per test chunk?"
Updated comment to note that 200ms is for all chunks.
"Documentation lost in the intertubes"
Dredged up the version from v3 series and changed:
1) Fixed pathnames now this is a virtual misc device instead of platform
device
2) Put all the text into a "/** DOC:" comment section in ifs.h with just
a "kernel-doc:: drivers/platform/x86/intel/ifs/ifs.h" in the ifs.rst
file under Documentation/x86.
3) Added a "big fat warning" (in all CAPS) pointing out that a core test
can take up to 200 milliseconds. So admins must take extra steps if they
are running latency sensitive workloads.
4) Added note that all HT threads of a core must be online to run a
test.
