This bug is awaiting verification that the linux/5.15.0-74.81 kernel in
-proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug
with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag
'verification-needed-jammy' to 'verification-done-jammy'. If the problem
still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-jammy' to
'verification-failed-jammy'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
  Add  PPIN support for Intel EMR cpu

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux source package in Jammy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU Justification
  [Impact]
  Intel has introduced support for their new Emerald Rapids CPU.
  It was backported to Jammy in #lp2015372 and in #lp2015855.

  The remaining feature needed to fully support EMR is PPIN (the Protected 
Processor Inventory/Identification Number).
  This was recently pushed to upstream in 6.4 in commit 
36168bc061b4368ad19e82b06a6463c95d3bb9a7.
  The change is very straightforward, it adds a new entry for EMERALDRAPIDS_X 
in the cpuids table where cpus that support ppin are listed. The table is then 
used in `ppin_init`.

  In Jammy, this implementation is missing. Both Amd and Intel have their own 
implementation which is doing pretty much the same. Instead of a list of cpus 
supported, a switch case is used instead in their init functions 
(amd_detect_ppin and intel_ppin_init).
  To reduce duplication of code and to help backport smoothly the new addition 
of EMR, commit 0dcab41d3487acadf64d0667398e032341bd9918
  “x86/cpu: Merge Intel and AMD ppin_init() functions” was backported too.

  Thus commits: 
  - 0dcab41d3487acadf64d0667398e032341bd9918: "x86/cpu: Merge Intel and AMD 
ppin_init() functions"
  - 36168bc061b4368ad19e82b06a6463c95d3bb9a7: "x86/cpu: Add Xeon Emerald Rapids 
to list of CPUs that support PPIN"
  are needed to support PPIN for EMR.

  [Testing]
   Kernel was built on cbd and boot tested on a VM.

  [Regression potential]
   Very low, it is a small refactor that removes duplication and it should not 
affect the functionality.
