We've grown a bunch of microcode loader files all prefixed with "microcode_". They should be under cpu/ because this is strictly CPU-related functionality so do that and drop the prefix since they're in their own directory now which gives that prefix. :) While at it, drop MICROCODE_INTEL_LIB config item and stash the functionality under CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL as it was its only user.

The original idea to use the microcode cache for the APs doesn't pan out because we do memory allocation there very early and with IRQs disabled and we don't want to involve GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Not if it can be helped. Thus, extend the caching of the BSP patch approach to the APs and iterate over the ucode in the initrd instead of using the cache. We still save the relevant patches to it but later, right before we jettison the initrd. While at it, fix early ucode loading on 32-bit too. Signed-off-by:

Use the new helper, request_firmware_direct(), for avoiding the lengthy timeout of non-existing firmware loads. Especially the Intel microcode driver suffers from this problem because each CPU triggers the f/w loading, thus it ends up taking (literally) hours with many cores. Tested-by:

Do it the same way as done in microcode_intel.c: use pr_debug() for missing firmware files. There seem to be CPUs out there for which no microcode update has been submitted to kernel-firmware repo yet resulting in scary sounding error messages in dmesg: microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam16h.bin Signed-off-by:

On AMD family 14h, applying microcode patch on the a core (core0) would also affect the other core (core1) in the same compute unit. The driver would skip applying the patch on core1, but it still need to update kernel structures to reflect the proper patch level. The current logic is not updating the struct ucode_cpu_info.cpu_sig.rev of the skipped core. This causes the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/microcode/version to report incorrect patch level as shown below: $ grep . cpu?/microcode/version cpu0/microcode/version:0x600063d cpu1/microcode/version:0x6000626 cpu2/microcode/version:0x600063d cpu3/microcode/version:0x6000626 cpu4/microcode/version:0x600063d Signed-off-by:

load_microcode_amd() (and the helper it is using) should not have an cpu parameter. The microcode loading does not depend on the CPU wrt the patches loaded since they will end up in a global list for all CPUs anyway. The change from cpu to x86family in load_microcode_amd() now allows to drop the code messing with cpu_data(cpu) from collect_cpu_info_amd_early(), which is wrong anyway because at that point the per-cpu cpu_info is not yet setup (These values would later be overwritten by smp_store_boot_cpu_info() / smp_store_cpu_info()). Fold the rest of collect_cpu_info_amd_early() into load_ucode_amd_ap(), because its only used at one place and without the cpuinfo_x86 accesses it was not much left. Signed-off-by:

Limit the access to userspace only on the BSP where we load the container, verify the patches in it and put them in the patch cache. Then, at application time, we lookup the correct patch in the cache and use it. When we need to reload the userspace container, we do that over the reload interface: echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload which reloads (a possibly newer) container from userspace and applies then the newest patches from there.

This issue was recently observed on an AMD C-50 CPU where a patch of maximum size was applied. Commit be62adb4 ("x86, microcode, AMD: Simplify ucode verification") added current_size in get_matching_microcode(). This is calculated as size of the ucode patch + 8 (ie. size of the header). Later this is compared against the maximum possible ucode patch size for a CPU family. And of course this fails if the patch has already maximum size.

We've decided to provide CPU family specific container files (starting with CPU family 15h). E.g. for family 15h we have to load microcode_amd_fam15h.bin instead of microcode_amd.bin Rationale is that starting with family 15h patch size is larger than 2KB which was hard coded as maximum patch size in various microcode loaders (not just Linux). Container files which include patches larger than 2KB cause different kinds of trouble with such old patch loaders. Thus we have to ensure that the default container file provides only patches with size less than 2KB. Signed-off-by:

Basically, what we did until now is take out a chunk of the firmware image, vmalloc space for it and inspect it before application. And repeat. This patch changes all that so that we look at each ucode patch from the firmware image, check it for sanity and copy it to local buffer for application only once and if it passes all checks. Thus, vmalloc-ing for each piece is gone, we can do proper size checking only of the patch which is destined for the CPU of the current machine instead of each single patch, which is clearly wrong. Oh yeah, simplify and cleanup the code while at it, along with adding comments as to what actually happens. Signed-off-by:
