x86/microcode: Remove modularization leftovers

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

Remove the remaining module functionality leftovers. Make
"dis_ucode_ldr" an early_param and make it static again. Drop
module aliases, autoloading table, description, etc.

Bump version number, while at it.

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: Unmodularize the microcode driver

2015-10-21T09:22:11+00:00

Make CONFIG_MICROCODE a bool. It was practically a bool already anyway,
since early loader was forcing it to =y.

Regardless, there's no real reason to have something be a module which
gets built-in on the majority of installations out there. And its not
like there's noticeable change in functionality - we still can load late
microcode - just the module glue disappears.

... 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: Handle truncated microcode images more robustly

2015-02-19T11:42:23+00:00

We do not check the input data bounds containing the microcode before
copying a struct microcode_intel_header from it. A specially crafted
microcode could cause the kernel to read invalid memory and lead to a
denial-of-service.

x86, microcode, intel: Rename apply_microcode and declare it static

2014-07-25T15:57:51+00:00

Rename apply_microcode() in microcode/intel.c to
apply_microcode_intel(), and declare it as static. This is a cosmetic
fix to silence a warning issued by sparse.

Merge tag 'driver-core-3.14-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

2014-01-20T23:49:44+00:00

Pull driver core / sysfs patches from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big driver core and sysfs patch set for 3.14-rc1.

  There's a lot of work here moving sysfs logic out into a "kernfs" to
  allow other subsystems to also have a virtual filesystem with the same
  attributes of sysfs (handle device disconnect, dynamic creation /
  removal as needed / unneeded, etc)

  This is primarily being done for the cgroups filesystem, but the goal
  is to also move debugfs to it when it is ready, solving all of the
  known issues in that filesystem as well.  The code isn't completed
  yet, but all should be stable now (there is a big section that was
  reverted due to problems found when testing)

  There's also some other smaller fixes, and a driver core addition that
  allows for a "collection" of objects, that the DRM people will be
  using soon (it's in this tree to make merges after -rc1 easier)

  All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues"
