x86/microcode/AMD: Load late on both threads too

2023-07-24T17:11:51Z

commit a32b0f0db3f396f1c9be2fe621e77c09ec3d8e7d upstream. Do the same as early loading - load on both threads. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) Cc: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230605141332.25948-1-bp@alien8.de Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

x86/microcode/AMD: Fix mixed steppings support

2023-03-11T15:31:51Z

commit 7ff6edf4fef38ab404ee7861f257e28eaaeed35f upstream. The AMD side of the loader has always claimed to support mixed steppings. But somewhere along the way, it broke that by assuming that the cached patch blob is a single one instead of it being one per *node*. So turn it into a per-node one so that each node can stash the blob relevant for it.

x86/microcode/AMD: Apply the patch early on every logical thread

2022-11-03T14:52:24Z

commit e7ad18d1169c62e6c78c01ff693fd362d9d65278 upstream. Currently, the patch application logic checks whether the revision needs to be applied on each logical CPU (SMT thread). Therefore, on SMT designs where the microcode engine is shared between the two threads, the application happens only on one of them as that is enough to update the shared microcode engine. However, there are microcode patches which do per-thread modification, see Link tag below. Therefore, drop the revision check and try applying on each thread. This is what the BIOS does too so this method is very much tested. Btw, change only the early paths. On the late loading paths, there's no point in doing per-thread modification because if is it some case like in the bugzilla below - removing a CPUID flag - the kernel cannot go and un-use features it has detected are there early. For that, one should use early loading anyway.

x86/microcode/amd: Don't falsely trick the late loading mechanism

2019-03-13T21:02:31Z

[ Upstream commit 912139cfbfa6a2bc1da052314d2c29338dae1f6a ] The load_microcode_amd() function searches for microcode patches and attempts to apply a microcode patch if it is of different level than the currently installed level. While the processor won't actually load a level that is less than what is already installed, the logic wrongly returns UCODE_NEW thus signaling to its caller reload_store() that a late loading should be attempted. If the file-system contains an older microcode revision than what is currently running, such a late microcode reload can result in these misleading messages: x86/CPU: CPU features have changed after loading microcode, but might not take effect. x86/CPU: Please consider either early loading through initrd/built-in or a potential BIOS update. These messages were issued on a system where SME/SEV are not enabled by the BIOS (MSR C001_0010[23] = 0b) because during boot, early_detect_mem_encrypt() is called and cleared the SME and SEV features in this case. However, after the wrong late load attempt, get_cpu_cap() is called and reloads the SME and SEV feature bits, resulting in the messages. Update the microcode level check to not attempt microcode loading if the current level is greater than(!) and not only equal to the current patch level.

x86/microcode: Update the new microcode revision unconditionally

2018-09-02T12:10:54Z

Handle the case where microcode gets loaded on the BSP's hyperthread sibling first and the boot_cpu_data's microcode revision doesn't get updated because of early exit due to the siblings sharing a microcode engine. For that, simply write the updated revision on all CPUs unconditionally.

x86/microcode: Make sure boot_cpu_data.microcode is up-to-date

2018-09-02T12:10:54Z

When preparing an MCE record for logging, boot_cpu_data.microcode is used to read out the microcode revision on the box. However, on systems where late microcode update has happened, the microcode revision output in a MCE log record is wrong because boot_cpu_data.microcode is not updated when the microcode gets updated. But, the microcode revision saved in boot_cpu_data's microcode member should be kept up-to-date, regardless, for consistency. Make it so.

The file Documentation/x86/early-microcode.txt was renamed to Documentation/x86/microcode.txt in 0e3258753f81, but it was still referenced by its old name in a three places: * Documentation/x86/00-INDEX * arch/x86/Kconfig * arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c This commit updates these references accordingly.
