[PATCH 0/5] PPIN (Protected Processor Inventory Number) updates

From: Tony Luck
Date: Fri Jan 07 2022 - 17:54:51 EST


This series starts out with two changes that I expect are
uncontroversial. Later parts get progressively more "RFC".

1) Simple cleanup to merge Intel and AMD duplicated code to test for
presence of PPIN and check whether it is enabled.

2) Long overdue update from Intel to enumerate the PPIN and PPIN_CTL
MSRs. See the December 2021 Software Developers Manual

{RFC factor moves to medium here}

3) Code to scan machine check banks re-reads the PPIN every time banks
are scanned (whether for a machine check, a CMCI, or just a periodic
poll). Since PPIN never changes, this seems like unnecessary overhead.
Read the MSR once (per CPU) and save to memory.

{RFC factor moves to high for last two parts}

4) Refactor as prep for last part.

5) Add "ppin" to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology/ppin

The big question for this part is whether there is a better
place to expose this value. I'm open to other suggestions.

I do think it is useful to do so. An "inventory" number
that stays hidden until there is an error that causes it to show
up in a machine check log is user hostile.

Tony Luck (5):
x86/ras: Merge Intel and AMD ppin_init() functions
x86/ras: X86_FEATURE_INTEL_PPIN finally has a CPUID bit
x86/ras: Read/save PPIN MSR during initialization
x86/sysfs: Add format parameter to macro defining "show" functions for
proc
x86/sysfs: Add PPIN in sysfs under cpu topology
