[v3,04/11] platform/x86/intel/ifs: Add stub driver for In-Field Scan

Commit Message

Luck, Tony April 19, 2022, 4:38 p.m. UTC

Cloud Service Providers that operate fleets of servers have reported
[1] occasions where they can detect that a CPU has gone bad due to
effects like electromigration, or isolated manufacturing defects.
However, that detection method is A/B testing seemingly random
application failures looking for a pattern. In-Field Scan (IFS) is
a driver for a platform capability to load a crafted 'scan image'
to run targeted low level diagnostics outside of the CPU's architectural
error detection capabilities.

Kconfig for this driver selects CONFIG_INTEL_IFS_DEVICE so the base
kernel will be built with code to create the device to which this driver
will attach.

Not using module_platform_driver() for this simple stub because
later patches need to add init()/exit() functions.
