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.
