commit e3e89178a9f4a80092578af3ff3c8478f9187d59 upstream.
Currently, load_microcode_amd() iterates over all NUMA nodes, retrieves their
CPU masks and unconditionally accesses per-CPU data for the first CPU of each
mask.
According to Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numaperf.rst:
"Some memory may share the same node as a CPU, and others are provided as
memory only nodes."
Therefore, some node CPU masks may be empty and wouldn't have a "first CPU".
On a machine with far memory (and therefore CPU-less NUMA nodes):
- cpumask_of_node(nid) is 0
- cpumask_first(0) is CONFIG_NR_CPUS
- cpu_data(CONFIG_NR_CPUS) accesses the cpu_info per-CPU array at an
index that is 1 out of bounds
This does not have any security implications since flashing microcode is
a privileged operation but I believe this has reliability implications by
potentially corrupting memory while flashing a microcode update.
When booting with CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS=y on an AMD machine that flashes
a microcode update. I get the following splat:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c:X:Y
index 512 is out of range for type 'unsigned long[512]'
[...]
Call Trace:

request_microcode_amd
reload_store

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
Change the loop to go over only NUMA nodes which have CPUs before determining
whether the first CPU on the respective node needs microcode update.

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.
[ NB: Fixes tag is not really the exactly correct one but it is good
enough. ]

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.

[ Upstream commit 712f210a457d9c32414df246a72781550bc23ef6 ]
In preparation for reducing the use of ksize(), record the actual
allocation size for later memcpy(). This avoids copying extra
(uninitialized!) bytes into the patch buffer when the requested
allocation size isn't exactly the size of a kmalloc bucket.
Additionally, fix potential future issues where runtime bounds checking
will notice that the buffer was allocated to a smaller value than
returned by ksize().

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.

Add container and patch verification functions to the AMD microcode
update driver.
These functions check whether a passed buffer contains the relevant
structure, whether it isn't truncated and (for actual microcode patches)
whether the size of a patch is not too large for a particular CPU family.
By adding these checks as separate functions the actual microcode loading
code won't get interspersed with a lot of checks and so will be more
readable.

verify_patch_size() verifies whether the remaining size of the microcode
container file is large enough to contain a patch of the indicated size.
However, the section header length is not included in this indicated
size but it is present in the leftover file length so it should be

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.

because, well, it says it above, we're using smp_processor_id() in

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.

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.

The equivalence ID was needed outside of the container scanning logic
but now, after this has been cleaned up, not anymore. Now, cont_desc.mc
is used to denote whether the container we're looking at has the proper
microcode patch for this CPU or not.

The idea was to not scan the microcode blob on each AP (Application
Processor) during boot and thus save us some milliseconds. However, on
architectures where the microcode engine is shared between threads, this
doesn't work. Here's why:
The microcode on CPU0, i.e., the first thread, gets updated. The second
thread, i.e., CPU1, i.e., the first AP walks into load_ucode_amd_ap(),
sees that there's no container cached and goes and scans for the proper
blob.
It finds it and as a last step of apply_microcode_early_amd(), it tries
to apply the patch but that core has already the updated microcode
revision which it has received through CPU0's update. So it returns
false and we do desc->size = -1 to prevent other APs from scanning.
However, the next AP, CPU2, has a different microcode engine which
hasn't been updated yet. The desc->size == -1 test prevents it from
scanning the blob anew and we fail to update it.
The fix is much more straight-forward than it looks: the BSP
(BootStrapping Processor), i.e., CPU0, caches the microcode patch
in amd_ucode_patch. We use that on the AP and try to apply it.
In the 99.9999% of cases where we have homogeneous cores - *not*
mixed-steppings - the application will be successful and we're good to
go.
In the remaining small set of systems, we will simply rescan the blob
and find (or not, if none present) the proper patch and apply it then.

No need to use the previously stashed info in the container - simply go
ahead and parse the initrd once more. It simplifies and streamlines the
code a whole lot.

Use a version for both bitness by adding a helper which does the actual
container finding and parsing which can be used on any CPU - BSP or AP.
Streamlines the paths more.

It was pretty clumsy before and the whole work of parsing the microcode
containers was spread around the functions wrongly.
Clean it up so that there's a main scan_containers() function which
iterates over the microcode blob and picks apart the containers glued
together. For each container, it calls a parse_container() helper which
concentrates on one container only: sanity-checking, parsing, counting
microcode patches in there, etc.
It makes much more sense now and it is actually very readable. Oh, and
we luvz a diffstat removing more crap than adding.

Make it into a container descriptor which is being passed around and
stores important info like the matching container and the patch for the
current CPU. Make it static too.
Later patches will use this and thus get rid of a double container
parsing.

No need to have it marked "inline" - let gcc decide. Also, shorten the
argument name and simplify while-test.
While at it, make it into a proper for-loop and simplify it even more,
as tglx suggests.
