The AMD side of the loader issues the microcode revision for each
logical thread on the system, which can become really noisy on huge
machines. And doing that doesn't make a whole lot of sense - the
microcode revision is already in /proc/cpuinfo.
So in case one is interested in the theoretical support of mixed silicon
steppings on AMD, one can check there.
What is also missing on the AMD side - something which people have
requested before - is showing the microcode revision the CPU had
*before* the early update.
So abstract that up in the main code and have the BSP on each vendor
provide those revision numbers.
Then, dump them only once on driver init.
On Intel, do not dump the patch date - it is not needed.

Applying microcode late can be fatal for the running kernel when the
update changes functionality which is in use already in a non-compatible
way, e.g. by removing a CPUID bit.
There is no way for admins which do not have access to the vendors deep
technical support to decide whether late loading of such a microcode is
safe or not.
Intel has added a new field to the microcode header which tells the
minimal microcode revision which is required to be active in the CPU in
order to be safe.
Provide infrastructure for handling this in the core code and a command
line switch which allows to enforce it.
If the update is considered safe the kernel is not tainted and the annoying
warning message not emitted. If it's enforced and the currently loaded
microcode revision is not safe for late loading then the load is aborted.

On CPUs where microcode loading is not NMI-safe the SMT siblings which
are parked in one of the play_dead() variants still react to NMIs.
So if an NMI hits while the primary thread updates the microcode the
resulting behaviour is undefined. The default play_dead() implementation on
modern CPUs is using MWAIT which is not guaranteed to be safe against
a microcode update which affects MWAIT.
Take the cpus_booted_once_mask into account to detect this case and
refuse to load late if the vendor specific driver does not advertise
that late loading is NMI safe.
AMD stated that this is safe, so mark the AMD driver accordingly.
This requirement will be partially lifted in later changes.

up, there is no point in scanning builtin/initrd microcode during AP
loading.
Convert the AP loader to utilize the cache, which in turn makes the CPU

Mixed steppings aren't supported on Intel CPUs. Only one microcode patch
is required for the entire system. The caching of microcode blobs which
match the family and model is therefore pointless and in fact is
dysfunctional as CPU hotplug updates use only a single microcode blob,
i.e. the one where *intel_ucode_patch points to.
Remove the microcode cache and make it an AMD local feature.
[ tglx:
- save only at the end. Otherwise random microcode ends up in the
pointer for early loading
- free the ucode patch pointer in save_microcode_patch() only
after kmemdup() has succeeded, as reported by Andrew Cooper ]

32-bit loads microcode before paging is enabled. The commit which
introduced that has zero justification in the changelog. The cover
letter has slightly more content, but it does not give any technical
justification either:
"The problem in current microcode loading method is that we load a
microcode way, way too late; ideally we should load it before turning
paging on. This may only be practical on 32 bits since we can't get
to 64-bit mode without paging on, but we should still do it as early
as at all possible."
Handwaving word salad with zero technical content.
Someone claimed in an offlist conversation that this is required for
curing the ATOM erratum AAE44/AAF40/AAG38/AAH41. That erratum requires
an microcode update in order to make the usage of PSE safe. But during
early boot, PSE is completely irrelevant and it is evaluated way later.
Neither is it relevant for the AP on single core HT enabled CPUs as the
microcode loading on the AP is not doing anything.
On dual core CPUs there is a theoretical problem if a split of an
executable large page between enabling paging including PSE and loading
the microcode happens. But that's only theoretical, it's practically
irrelevant because the affected dual core CPUs are 64bit enabled and
therefore have paging and PSE enabled before loading the microcode on
the second core. So why would it work on 64-bit but not on 32-bit?
The erratum:
"AAG38 Code Fetch May Occur to Incorrect Address After a Large Page is
Split Into 4-Kbyte Pages
Problem: If software clears the PS (page size) bit in a present PDE
(page directory entry), that will cause linear addresses mapped through
this PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old
TLB entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses
this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then it
may fetch from a different physical address than specified by either the
old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page translation. This
erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from incorrect addresses."
The practical relevance for this is exactly zero because there is no
splitting of large text pages during early boot-time, i.e. between paging
enable and microcode loading, and neither during CPU hotplug.
IOW, this load microcode before paging enable is yet another voodoo
programming solution in search of a problem. What's worse is that it causes
at least two serious problems:
1) When stackprotector is enabled, the microcode loader code has the
stackprotector mechanics enabled. The read from the per CPU variable
__stack_chk_guard is always accessing the virtual address either
directly on UP or via %fs on SMP. In physical address mode this
results in an access to memory above 3GB. So this works by chance as
the hardware returns the same value when there is no RAM at this
physical address. When there is RAM populated above 3G then the read
is by chance the same as nothing changes that memory during the very
early boot stage. That's not necessarily true during runtime CPU
hotplug.
2) When function tracing is enabled, the relevant microcode loader
functions and the functions invoked from there will call into the
tracing code and evaluate global and per CPU variables in physical
address mode. What could potentially go wrong?
Cure this and move the microcode loading after the early paging enable, use
the new temporary initrd mapping and remove the gunk in the microcode
loader which is required to handle physical address mode.

Building with GCC 11.x results in the following warning:

The issue is that GCC does not know that the family can only be a byte

by marking the argument as char-size ("hh"). While at it, instead of
using the slightly more obscure precision specifier use the width with
zero padding (over 23000 occurrences in kernel sources, vs 500 for
the idiom using the precision).

The AMD side of the loader has always claimed to support mixed

the cached patch blob is a single one instead of it being one per
*node*.
So turn it into a per-node one so that each node can stash the blob
relevant for it.

It can happen that - especially during testing - the microcode
blobs of all families are all glued together in the initrd. The
current code doesn't check whether the current container matched
a microcode patch and continues to the next one, which leads to
save_microcode_in_initrd_amd() to look at the next and thus wrong one:
microcode: parse_container: ucode: 0xffff88807e9d9082
microcode: verify_patch: buf: 0xffff88807e9d90ce, buf_size: 26428

microcode: Invalid type field (0x414d44) in container file section header.

<-- checking chokes on the microcode magic value of the next container.

microcode: save_microcode_in_initrd_amd: scanned containers, data: 0xffff88807e9d9082, size: 9700a
and now if there's a next (and last container) it'll use that in
save_microcode_in_initrd_amd() and not find a proper patch, ofc.
Fix that by moving the out: label up, before the desc->mc check which
jots down the pointer of the matching patch and is used to signal to the
caller that it has found a matching patch in the current container.

Currently, the patch application logic checks whether the revision
needs to be applied on each logical CPU (SMT thread). Therefore, on SMT
designs where the microcode engine is shared between the two threads,
the application happens only on one of them as that is enough to update
the shared microcode engine.
However, there are microcode patches which do per-thread modification,
see Link tag below.
Therefore, drop the revision check and try applying on each thread. This
is what the BIOS does too so this method is very much tested.
Btw, change only the early paths. On the late loading paths, there's no
point in doing per-thread modification because if is it some case like
in the bugzilla below - removing a CPUID flag - the kernel cannot go and
un-use features it has detected are there early. For that, one should
use early loading anyway.

The load_microcode_amd() function searches for microcode patches and
attempts to apply a microcode patch if it is of different level than the
currently installed level.
While the processor won't actually load a level that is less than
what is already installed, the logic wrongly returns UCODE_NEW thus
signaling to its caller reload_store() that a late loading should be
attempted.
If the file-system contains an older microcode revision than what is
currently running, such a late microcode reload can result in these
misleading messages:
x86/CPU: CPU features have changed after loading microcode, but might not take effect.
x86/CPU: Please consider either early loading through initrd/built-in or a potential BIOS update.
These messages were issued on a system where SME/SEV are not
enabled by the BIOS (MSR C001_0010[23] = 0b) because during boot,
early_detect_mem_encrypt() is called and cleared the SME and SEV
features in this case.
However, after the wrong late load attempt, get_cpu_cap() is called and
reloads the SME and SEV feature bits, resulting in the messages.
Update the microcode level check to not attempt microcode loading if the
current level is greater than(!) and not only equal to the current patch
level.

Currently, the code scanning the CPU equivalence table read from a
microcode container file assumes that it actually contains a terminating
zero entry.
Check also the size of this table to make sure that no reads past its
end happen, in case there's no terminating zero entry at the end of the
table.

Now that they have the required functionality, use them to verify the

Add a verify_patch() function which tries to sanity-check many aspects
of a microcode patch supplied by an outside container before attempting
a load.
Prepend all sub-functions' names which verify an aspect of a microcode
patch with "__".
Call it in verify_and_add_patch() *before* looking at the microcode
header.

Starting with family 0x15, the patch size verification is not needed
anymore. Thus get rid of the need to update this checking function with
each new family.
Keep the check for older families.

Add container and patch verification functions to the AMD microcode
update driver.
These functions check whether a passed buffer contains the relevant
structure, whether it isn't truncated and (for actual microcode patches)
whether the size of a patch is not too large for a particular CPU family.
By adding these checks as separate functions the actual microcode loading
code won't get interspersed with a lot of checks and so will be more
readable.

verify_patch() bits. ]

verify_patch_size() verifies whether the remaining size of the microcode
container file is large enough to contain a patch of the indicated size.
However, the section header length is not included in this indicated
size but it is present in the leftover file length so it should be
subtracted from the leftover file length before passing this value to
verify_patch_size().
