x86/microcode: Untangle from BLK_DEV_INITRD

2016-04-12T16:08:32+00:00

commit 5f9c01aa7c49a2d74474d6d879a797b8badf29e6 upstream.

Thomas Voegtle reported that doing oldconfig with a .config which has
CONFIG_MICROCODE enabled but BLK_DEV_INITRD disabled prevents the
microcode loading mechanism from being built.

So untangle it from the BLK_DEV_INITRD dependency so that oldconfig
doesn't turn it off and add an explanatory text to its Kconfig help what
the supported methods for supplying microcode are.

x86/microcode/intel: Make early loader look for builtin microcode too

2016-04-12T16:08:32+00:00

commit 264285ac01673e70557c43ecee338ce97c4c0672 upstream.

Set the initrd @start depending on the presence of an initrd. Otherwise,
builtin microcode loading doesn't work as the start is wrong and we're
using it to compute offset to the microcode blobs.

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.

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.
