The IFS image contains hashes that will be used to authenticate the ifs test chunks. First, use WRMSR to copy the hashes and enumerate the number of test chunks, chunk size and the maximum number of cores that can run scan test simultaneously. Next, use WRMSR to authenticate each and every scan test chunk which is stored in the IFS image. The CPU will check if the test chunks match the hashes, otherwise failure is indicated to system software. If the test chunk is authenticated, it is automatically copied to secured memory. Use schedule_work_on() to perform the hash copy and authentication. Note this needs only be done on the first logical cpu of each socket.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
