x86/microcode: Do the family check first

2017-10-18T07:38:32Z

commit 1f161f67a272cc4f29f27934dd3f74cb657eb5c4 upstream. On CPUs like AMD's Geode, for example, we shouldn't even try to load microcode because they do not support the modern microcode loading interface. However, we do the family check *after* the other checks whether the loader has been disabled on the command line or whether we're running in a guest. So move the family checks first in order to exit early if we're being loaded on an unsupported family.

x86: Constify attribute_group structures

2017-08-18T09:30:35Z

attribute_groups are not supposed to change at runtime and none of the groups is modified. Mark the non-const structs as const.

x86/microcode: Make a couple of symbols static

2017-06-26T13:57:37Z

The helper function __load_ucode_amd() and pointer intel_ucode_patch do not need to be in global scope, so make them static. Fixes those sparse warnings: "symbol '__load_ucode_amd' was not declared. Should it be static?" "symbol 'intel_ucode_patch' was not declared. Should it be static?"

x86/microcode/intel: Save pointer to ucode patch for early AP loading

2017-06-20T10:54:25Z

Normally, when the initrd is gone, we can't search it for microcode blobs to apply anymore. For that we need to stash away the patch in our own storage. And save_microcode_in_initrd_intel() looks like the proper place to do that from. So in order for early loading to work, invalidate the intel_ucode_patch pointer to the patch *before* scanning the initrd one last time. If the scanning code finds a microcode patch, it will assign that pointer again, this time with our own storage's address. This way, early microcode application during resume-from-RAM works too, even after the initrd is long gone.

x86/microcode: Look for the initrd at the correct address on 32-bit

2017-06-20T10:54:24Z

Early during boot, the BSP finds the ramdisk's position from boot_params but by the time the APs get to boot, the BSP has continued in the mean time and has potentially managed to relocate that ramdisk. And in that case, the APs need to find the ramdisk at its new position, in *physical* memory as they're running before paging has been enabled. Thus, get the updated physical location of the ramdisk which is in the relocated_ramdisk variable.

x86/microcode/intel: Clear patch pointer before jettisoning the initrd

2017-06-08T08:03:05Z

During early boot, load_ucode_intel_ap() uses __load_ucode_intel() to obtain a pointer to the relevant microcode patch (embedded in the initrd), and stores this value in 'intel_ucode_patch' to speed up the microcode patch application for subsequent CPUs. On resuming from suspend-to-RAM, however, load_ucode_ap() calls load_ucode_intel_ap() for each non-boot-CPU. By then the initramfs is long gone so the pointer stored in 'intel_ucode_patch' no longer points to a valid microcode patch. Clear that pointer so that we effectively fall back to the CPU hotplug notifier callbacks to update the microcode.

x86/microcode/AMD: Change load_microcode_amd()'s param to bool to fix preemptibility bug

2017-05-29T06:22:48Z

With CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled, I get: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1 caller is debug_smp_processor_id CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.12.0-rc2+ #2 Call Trace: dump_stack check_preemption_disabled debug_smp_processor_id save_microcode_in_initrd_amd ? microcode_init save_microcode_in_initrd ... because, well, it says it above, we're using smp_processor_id() in preemptible code. But passing the CPU number is not really needed. It is only used to determine whether we're on the BSP, and, if so, to save the microcode patch for early loading. [ We don't absolutely need to do it on the BSP but we do that customarily there. ] Instead, convert that function parameter to a boolean which denotes whether the patch should be saved or not, thereby avoiding the use of smp_processor_id() in preemptible code.

x86/microcode/AMD: Remove redundant NULL check on mc

2017-03-18T11:31:58Z

mc is a pointer to the static u8 array amd_ucode_patch and therefore can never be null, so the check is redundant. Remove it.
