2efb05e8e9 x86, microcode, AMD: Rewrite patch application procedure
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.

36bf50d769 x86, microcode, AMD: Fix broken ucode patch size check
This issue was recently observed on an AMD C-50 CPU where a patch of
maximum size was applied.

Commit be62adb492 ("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.

5b68edc91c x86/microcode_amd: Add support for CPU family specific container files
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.

be62adb492 x86, microcode, AMD: Simplify ucode verification
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.

3b2e3d85ae Revert "x86: ucode-amd: Load ucode-patches once ..."
Commit d1c84f79a6
leads to a regression when microcode_amd.c is compiled into the kernel.
It causes a big boot delay because the firmware is not available.
See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126267290920060

It also renders the reload sysfs attribute useless.
Fixing this is too intrusive for an -rc5 kernel.

Thus I'd like to restore the microcode loading behaviour of kernel
2.6.32.

14c569425a x86: ucode-amd: Don't warn when no ucode is available for a CPU revision
There is no point in warning when there is no ucode available
for a specific CPU revision. Currently the container-file, which
provides the AMD ucode patches for OS load, contains only a few
ucode patches.

It's already clearly indicated by the printed patch_level
whenever new ucode was available and an update happened. So the
warning message is of no help but rather annoying on systems
with many CPUs.

aeef50bc04 x86, microcode: Simplify vfree() use
vfree() does its own 'NULL' check, so no need for check before
calling it.

In v2, remove the stray newline.

871b72dd1e x86: microcode: use smp_call_function_single instead of set_cpus_allowed, cleanup of synchronization logic
* Solve issues described in 6f66cbc630
  in a way that doesn't resort to set_cpus_allowed();

* in fact, only collect_cpu_info and apply_microcode callbacks
  must run on a target cpu, others will do just fine on any other.
  smp_call_function_single() (as suggested by Ingo) is used to run
  these callbacks on a target cpu.

* cleanup of synchronization logic of the 'microcode_core' part

  The generic 'microcode_core' part guarantees that only a single cpu
  (be it a full-fledged cpu, one of the cores or HT)
  is being updated at any particular moment of time.

  In general, there is no need for any additional sync. mechanism in
  arch-specific parts (the patch removes existing spinlocks).

  See also the "Synchronization" section in microcode_core.c.

* return -EINVAL instead of -1 (which is translated into -EPERM) in
  microcode_write(), reload_cpu() and mc_sysdev_add(). Other suggestions
  for an error code?

* use 'enum ucode_state' as return value of request_microcode_{fw, user}
  to gain more flexibility by distinguishing between real error cases
  and situations when an appropriate ucode was not found (which is not an
  error per-se).

* some minor cleanups

Thanks a lot to Hugh Dickins for review/suggestions/testing!

f34a10bd9f x86: fix warning in arch/x86/kernel/microcode_amd.c
this warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/microcode_amd.c: In function ‘apply_microcode_amd’:
  arch/x86/kernel/microcode_amd.c:163: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
  arch/x86/kernel/microcode_amd.c:163: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

triggers because we want to pass the address to the microcode MSR,
which is 64-bit even on 32-bit. Cast it explicitly to express this.

98415301ea x86: microcode_amd: remove (wrong) chipset deivce ID checks
Impact: remove dead/incorrect code

Currently there is no chipset specific ucode. The checks are incorrect
anyway (e.g. pci device IDs are 16 bit and not 8 bit).

Thus I remove the stuff for the time being and will reintroduce it if
it's foreseeable that it is really needed.
