commit f4e9b7af0cd58dd039a0fb2cd67d57cea4889abf upstream.

The size for the Microcode Patch Block (MPB) for an AMD family 17h
processor is 3200 bytes.  Add a #define for fam17h so that it does
not default to 2048 bytes and fail a microcode load/update.

commit 8da38ebaad23fe1b0c4a205438676f6356607cfc upstream.

Handle the case where microcode gets loaded on the BSP's hyperthread
sibling first and the boot_cpu_data's microcode revision doesn't get
updated because of early exit due to the siblings sharing a microcode
engine.

For that, simply write the updated revision on all CPUs unconditionally.

<title>x86/microcode: Make sure boot_cpu_data.microcode is up-to-date</title>

commit 370a132bb2227ff76278f98370e0e701d86ff752 upstream.

When preparing an MCE record for logging, boot_cpu_data.microcode is used
to read out the microcode revision on the box.

However, on systems where late microcode update has happened, the microcode
revision output in a MCE log record is wrong because
boot_cpu_data.microcode is not updated when the microcode gets updated.

But, the microcode revision saved in boot_cpu_data's microcode member
should be kept up-to-date, regardless, for consistency.

Make it so.

Pull driver core / sysfs patches from Greg KH:
 "Here's the big driver core and sysfs patch set for 3.14-rc1.

  There's a lot of work here moving sysfs logic out into a "kernfs" to
  allow other subsystems to also have a virtual filesystem with the same
  attributes of sysfs (handle device disconnect, dynamic creation /
  removal as needed / unneeded, etc)

  This is primarily being done for the cgroups filesystem, but the goal
  is to also move debugfs to it when it is ready, solving all of the
  known issues in that filesystem as well.  The code isn't completed
  yet, but all should be stable now (there is a big section that was
  reverted due to problems found when testing)

  There's also some other smaller fixes, and a driver core addition that
  allows for a "collection" of objects, that the DRM people will be
  using soon (it's in this tree to make merges after -rc1 easier)

  All of this has been in linux-next with no reported issues"

We've grown a bunch of microcode loader files all prefixed with
"microcode_". They should be under cpu/ because this is strictly
CPU-related functionality so do that and drop the prefix since they're
in their own directory now which gives that prefix. :)

While at it, drop MICROCODE_INTEL_LIB config item and stash the
functionality under CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL as it was its only user.
