Newer AMD CPUs support a feature called protected processor identification number (PPIN). This feature can be detected via CPUID_Fn80000008_EBX[23]. However, CPUID alone is not enough to read the processor identification number - MSR_AMD_PPIN_CTL also needs to be configured properly. If, for any reason, MSR_AMD_PPIN_CTL[PPIN_EN] can not be turned on, such as disabled in BIOS, the CPU capability bit X86_FEATURE_AMD_PPIN needs to be cleared. When the X86_FEATURE_AMD_PPIN capability is available, the identification number is issued together with the MCE error info in order to keep track of the source of MCE errors.

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.
