x86/asm, x86/microcode: Add __PAGE_OFFSET_BASE define on 32-bit

2016-07-27T12:59:59+00:00

... in order to avoid #ifdeffery in code computing the ASLR randomization
offset. Remove that #ifdeffery in the microcode loader.

x86/microcode/intel: Fix initrd loading with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY=y

2016-07-26T17:32:57+00:00

CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY=y randomizes the physical memmap and thus the
address where the initrd is located. Therefore, we need to add the
offset KASLR put us to in order to find the initrd again on the AP path.

In the future, we will get rid of the initrd address caching and query
the address on both the BSP and AP paths but that would need more work.

Thanks to Nicolai Stange for the good bisection and debugging work.

x86/microcode/intel: Do not issue microcode updates messages on each CPU

2016-06-14T08:51:43+00:00

On large systems the microcode driver is very noisy, because it prints a
line for each CPU. The lines are redundant because usually all CPUs are
updated to the same microcode revision.

All other subsystems have been patched previously to not print a line
for each CPU. Only the microcode driver is left.

Only print an microcode revision update when something changed. This
results in typically only a single line being printed.

x86/microcode/intel: Unexport save_mc_for_early()

2016-06-08T09:04:20+00:00

It is used only in intel.c, drop the CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU ifdeffery from
the header and turn it into a void function because its return value
wasn't being used anyway.

No functionality change.

x86/microcode/intel: Rename load_microcode_early() to find_microcode_patch()

2016-06-08T09:04:20+00:00

This function does exactly that: it goes through the previously saved
array of microcode blobs and finds the proper one for the current CPU.
Rename it accordingly.

No functionality change.

x86/microcode: Get rid of find_cpio_data()'s dummy offset arg

2016-06-08T09:04:19+00:00

The microcode loader doesn't use it and now that that arg has been made
optional in find_cpio_data(), get rid of it here.

x86/microcode: Fix loading precedence

2016-06-08T09:04:19+00:00

So it can happen that even with builtin microcode,
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y gets forgotten enabled.

Or, even with that disabled, an initrd image gets supplied by the boot
loader, by omission or is simply forgotten there. And since we do look
at boot_params.hdr.ramdisk_* to know whether we have received an initrd,
we might get puzzled.

So let's just make the loader look for builtin microcode first and if
found, ignore the ramdisk image.

If no builtin found, it falls back to scanning the supplied initrd, of
course.

For that, we move all the initrd scanning in a separate
__scan_microcode_initrd() function and fall back to it only if
load_builtin_intel_microcode() has failed.
