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/intel: Do not retry microcode reloading on the APs

2023-01-18T10:30:42Z

commit be1b670f61443aa5d0d01782e9b8ea0ee825d018 upstream. The retries in load_ucode_intel_ap() were in place to support systems with mixed steppings. Mixed steppings are no longer supported and there is only one microcode image at a time. Any retries will simply reattempt to apply the same image over and over without making progress.

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/cpu: Load microcode during restore_processor_state()

2022-05-12T10:20:22Z

commit f9e14dbbd454581061c736bf70bf5cbb15ac927c upstream. When resuming from system sleep state, restore_processor_state() restores the boot CPU MSRs. These MSRs could be emulated by microcode.

x86/microcode: Check for offline CPUs before requesting new microcode

2021-05-22T08:59:28Z

[ Upstream commit 7189b3c11903667808029ec9766a6e96de5012a5 ] Currently, the late microcode loading mechanism checks whether any CPUs are offlined, and, in such a case, aborts the load attempt. However, this must be done before the kernel caches new microcode from the filesystem. Otherwise, when offlined CPUs are onlined later, those cores are going to be updated through the CPU hotplug notifier callback with the new microcode, while CPUs previously onine will continue to run with the older microcode. For example: Turn off one core (2 threads): echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online Install the ucode fails because a primary SMT thread is offline: cp intel-ucode/06-8e-09 /lib/firmware/intel-ucode/ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Turn the core back on echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep microcode microcode : 0x30 microcode : 0xde microcode : 0x30 microcode : 0xde The rationale for why the update is aborted when at least one primary thread is offline is because even if that thread is soft-offlined and idle, it will still have to participate in broadcasted MCE's synchronization dance or enter SMM, and in both examples it will execute instructions so it better have the same microcode revision as the other cores.

x86/microcode/intel: Check patch signature before saving microcode for early loading

2020-11-24T12:27:26Z

commit 1a371e67dc77125736cc56d3a0893f06b75855b6 upstream. Currently, scan_microcode() leverages microcode_matches() to check if the microcode matches the CPU by comparing the family and model. However, the processor stepping and flags of the microcode signature should also be considered when saving a microcode patch for early update. Use find_matching_signature() in scan_microcode() and get rid of the now-unused microcode_matches() which is a good cleanup in itself. Complete the verification of the patch being saved for early loading in save_microcode_patch() directly. This needs to be done there too because save_mc_for_early() will call save_microcode_patch() too. The second reason why this needs to be done is because the loader still tries to support, at least hypothetically, mixed-steppings systems and thus adds all patches to the cache that belong to the same CPU model albeit with different steppings. For example: microcode: CPU: sig=0x906ec, pf=0x2, rev=0xd6 microcode: mc_saved[0]: sig=0x906e9, pf=0x2a, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19400, date = 2020-04-23 microcode: mc_saved[1]: sig=0x906ea, pf=0x22, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19000, date = 2020-04-27 microcode: mc_saved[2]: sig=0x906eb, pf=0x2, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19400, date = 2020-04-23 microcode: mc_saved[3]: sig=0x906ec, pf=0x22, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19000, date = 2020-04-27 microcode: mc_saved[4]: sig=0x906ed, pf=0x22, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19400, date = 2020-04-23 The patch which is being saved for early loading, however, can only be the one which fits the CPU this runs on so do the signature verification before saving.

x86/microcode: Fix the microcode load on CPU hotplug for real

2019-07-03T11:14:45Z

commit 5423f5ce5ca410b3646f355279e4e937d452e622 upstream. A recent change moved the microcode loader hotplug callback into the early startup phase which is running with interrupts disabled. It missed that the callbacks invoke sysfs functions which might sleep causing nice 'might sleep' splats with proper debugging enabled. Split the callbacks and only load the microcode in the early startup phase and move the sysfs handling back into the later threaded and preemptible bringup phase where it was before.
