x86/microcode/intel: replace sync_core() with native_cpuid_reg(eax)

2020-04-24T05:57:26+00:00

On Intel it is required to do CPUID(1) before reading the microcode
revision MSR. Current code in 4.4 an 4.9 relies on sync_core() to call
CPUID, unfortunately on 32 bit machines code inside sync_core() always
jumps past CPUID instruction as it depends on data structure boot_cpu_data
witch are not populated correctly so early in boot sequence.

It depends on:
commit 5dedade6dfa2 ("x86/CPU: Add native CPUID variants returning a single
datum")

This patch is for 4.4 but also should apply to 4.9

x86/microcode/intel: Add a helper which gives the microcode revision

2019-05-16T17:45:07+00:00

commit 4167709bbf826512a52ebd6aafda2be104adaec9 upstream.

Since on Intel we're required to do CPUID(1) first, before reading
the microcode revision MSR, let's add a special helper which does the
required steps so that we don't forget to do them next time, when we
want to read the microcode revision.

[bwh: Backported to 4.4:
 - Don't touch prev_rev variable in apply_microcode()
 - Keep using sync_core(), which will alway includes the necessary CPUID
 - Adjust context]

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/intel: Simplify update_match_cpu()

2015-05-18T07:32:36+00:00

Drop unreadable macro, deconstruct compound conditional
statement into single ones and return early if they match. Add
comments.

There should be no functionality change resulting from this
patch.

x86/microcode/intel: Get rid of revision_is_newer()

2015-05-06T09:24:44+00:00

It is a one-liner for checking microcode header revisions. On top of
that, it can be used wrong as it was the case in _save_mc(). Get rid of
it.
