x86, microcode, AMD: Cleanup code a bit
x86, microcode, AMD: Replace vmalloc+memset with vzalloc
get_ucode_data is a memcpy() wrapper which always returns 0. Move it
into the header and make it an inline. Remove all code checking its
return value and turn it into a void.
There should be no functionality change resulting from this patch.

We don't have to do memset() ourselves after vmalloc() when we have
vzalloc(), so change that in
arch/x86/kernel/microcode_amd.c::get_next_ucode().

The [vk][cmz]alloc(_node) family of functions return void
pointers which it's completely unnecessary/pointless to cast to
other pointer types since that happens implicitly.
This patch removes such casts from arch/x86.

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.

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.

This also implies that corresponding log messages, e.g.
platform microcode: firmware: requesting amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
show up only once on module load and not when ucode is updated
for each CPU.

vfree() does its own 'NULL' check, so no need for check before
calling it.
In v2, remove the stray newline.

* 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!

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.

(1) mark mc_size in generic_load_microcode() as unitialized_var to avoid
gcc's (false) warning;
(2) mark request_microcode_user() as unsupported. The required changes
can be added later. Note, we don't break any user-space interfaces
here, as there were no kernels with support for AMD-specific ucode
update yet. The ucode has to be updated via 'firmware'.

Combine both generic and arch-specific parts of microcode into a
single module (arch-specific parts are config-dependent).
Also while we are at it, move arch-specific parts from microcode.h
into their respective arch-specific .c files.

microcode_amd.c uses ">> 32" on a 32-bit value, so gcc warns about that.

This is the 1st patch in the series. Here the aim was to avoid any
significant changes, logically-wise.
So it's mainly about generic interface refactoring: e.g. make
microcode_{intel,amd}.c more about arch-specific details and less
about policies like make-sure-we-run-on-a-target-cpu
(no more set_cpus_allowed_ptr() here) and generic synchronization (no
more microcode_mutex here).
All in all, more line have been deleted than added.

This patch introduces microcode patch loading for AMD
processors. It is based on previous corresponding work
for Intel processors.
It hooks into the general patch loading module. Main
difference is that a container file format is used to hold
all patch data for multiple processors as well as an
equivalent CPU table, which comes seperately, as opposed
to Intel's microcode patching solution.
Kconfig and Makefile have been changed provice config
and build option for new source file.
