x86/microcode: Merge the early microcode loader

2015-10-21T09:22:12+00:00

Merge the early loader functionality into the driver proper. The
diff is huge but logically, it is simply moving code from the
_early.c files into the main driver.

x86/microcode/intel: Rename get_matching_sig()

2015-05-18T07:32:37+00:00

... to find_matching_signature() which is exactly what it does.

No functionality change.

x86/microcode/intel: Simplify update_match_cpu()

2015-05-18T07:32:36+00:00

Drop unreadable macro, deconstruct compound conditional
statement into single ones and return early if they match. Add
comments.

There should be no functionality change resulting from this
patch.

2015-05-18T07:32:36+00:00

... to has_newer_microcode() as it does exactly that: checks
whether binary data @mc has newer microcode patch than the
applied one. Move @mc to be the first function arg too.

x86/microcode/intel: Get rid of revision_is_newer()

2015-05-06T09:24:44+00:00

It is a one-liner for checking microcode header revisions. On top of
that, it can be used wrong as it was the case in _save_mc(). Get rid of
it.

x86, microcode: Reload microcode on resume

2014-12-06T12:03:03+00:00

Normally, we do reapply microcode on resume. However, in the cases where
that microcode comes from the early loader and the late loader hasn't
been utilized yet, there's no easy way for us to go and apply the patch
applied during boot by the early loader.

Thus, reuse the patch stashed by the early loader for the BSP.

x86, microcode, intel: Fix total_size computation

2014-07-28T14:08:02+00:00

According to the Intel SDM vol 3A (order code 253668-051US, June 2014),
on section 9.11.1, page 9-28:

"For microcode updates with a data size field equal to 00000000H, the
size of the microcode update is 2048 bytes. The first 48 bytes contain
the microcode update header. The remaining 2000 bytes contain encrypted
data."

"For microcode updates with a data size not equal to 00000000H, the total
size field specifies the size of the microcode update."

Up to 2002/2003, Intel used an "old format" for the microcode update
containers that was always 2048 bytes in size. That old format did not
have Data Size and Total Size fields, the quadwords at those positions
in the microcode container header were "reserved". The microcode header
of the "old format" microcode container has a hrdver of 0x01. You can
hunt down an old copy of the Intel SDM to validate this through its
order number (#243192). I found one from 1999 through a Google search.

Sometime in 2002/2003 (AFAICT, for the Prescott processors), Intel
documented a new format for the microcode containers and contributed in
2003 some code to the Linux kernel microcode driver implementing support
for the new format. This new format has Data Size and Total Size fields,
as well as the optional extended signature table. However, it reuses the
same hrdver as the old format (0x01), and it can only be told apart from
the old format by a non-zero Data Size field.

In fact, the only reason we can even trust a Data Size of zero to mean
that the microcode container is in the old format, is because Intel
reatroatively promised that the old format would always have a zero
there when they wrote the documentation for the _new_ format.

This is a very old bug, dating back to 2003. It has been dormant
ever since, as Intel seems to set all reserved fields to zero on the
microcode updates they distribute: I could not find a public microcode
update that would trigger this bug.
