506ed6b53e00 ("x86, intel: Output microcode revision in /proc/cpuinfo")
added microcode revision format to /proc/cpuinfo and the MCE handler in
decimal format but both AMD and Intel patch levels are handled as hex
numbers. Fix it.

I got a request to make it easier to determine the microcode
update level on Intel CPUs. This patch adds a new "microcode"
field to /proc/cpuinfo.

The microcode level is also outputed on fatal machine checks
together with the other CPUID model information.

I removed the respective code from the microcode update driver,
it just reads the field from cpu_data. Also when the microcode
is updated it fills in the new values too.

I had to add a memory barrier to native_cpuid to prevent it
being optimized away when the result is not used.

This turns out to clean up further code which already got this
information manually. This is done in followon patches.

<title>x86: show number of core_siblings instead of thread_siblings in /proc/cpuinfo</title>

Commit 7ad728f98162cb1af06a85b2a5fc422dddd4fb78
(cpumask: x86: convert cpu_sibling_map/cpu_core_map to cpumask_var_t)
changed the output of /proc/cpuinfo for siblings:

Example on an AMD Phenom:

  physical id   : 0
  siblings : 1
  core id	   : 3
  cpu cores  : 4

Before that commit it was:

  physical id	: 0
  siblings : 4
  core id	   : 3
  cpu cores  : 4

Instead of cpu_core_mask it now uses cpu_sibling_mask to count siblings.
This is due to the following hunk of above commit:

|  --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
|  +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
|  @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ static void show_cpuinfo_core(struct seq_file *m, struct cpuinf
|          if (c-&gt;x86_max_cores * smp_num_siblings &gt; 1) {
|                  seq_printf(m, "physical id\t: %d\n", c-&gt;phys_proc_id);
|                  seq_printf(m, "siblings\t: %d\n",
|  -                          cpus_weight(per_cpu(cpu_core_map, cpu)));
|  +                          cpumask_weight(cpu_sibling_mask(cpu)));
|                  seq_printf(m, "core id\t\t: %d\n", c-&gt;cpu_core_id);
|                  seq_printf(m, "cpu cores\t: %d\n", c-&gt;booted_cores);
|                  seq_printf(m, "apicid\t\t: %d\n", c-&gt;apicid);

This was a mistake, because the impact line shows that this side-effect
was not anticipated:

   Impact: reduce per-cpu size for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y

So revert the respective hunk to restore the old behavior.

Impact: reduce per-cpu size for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y

In most places it's cleaner to use the accessors cpu_sibling_mask()
and cpu_core_mask() wrappers which already exist.

I couldn't avoid cleaning up the access in oprofile, either.

Impact: fix missing CPUs in /proc/cpuinfo after CPU hotunplug/hotreplug

In my test, I found that if a cpu has been offline,
the next cpus may not be shown in the /proc/cpuinfo.

if one read() cannot consume the whole /proc/cpuinfo,
c_start() will be called again in the next read() calls.
And *pos has been increased by 1 by the caller(seq_read()).
if this time the cpu#*pos is offline, c_start() will return
NULL, and the next cpus can not be shown.

this fix use next_cpu_nr(*pos - 1, cpu_online_map) to
search the next unshown cpu.

the most easy way to reproduce this bug:
1) offline cpu#1             (cpu#0 is online)
2) dd ibs=2 if=/proc/cpuinfo
   the result is that only cpu#0 is shown.
   cpu#2 and cpu#3 .... cannot be shown in /proc/cpuinfo
   it's bug.

In my test, I found that if a cpu has been offline,
the next cpus may not be shown in the /proc/cpuinfo.

if one read() cannot consume the whole /proc/cpuinfo,
c_start() will be called again in the next read() calls.
And *pos has been increased by 1 by the caller(seq_read()).
if this time the cpu#*pos is offline, c_start() will return
NULL, and the next cpus can not be shown.

this fix use next_cpu_nr(*pos - 1, cpu_online_map) to
search the next unshown cpu.

the most easy way to reproduce this bug:
1) offline cpu#1             (cpu#0 is online)
2) dd ibs=2 if=/proc/cpuinfo
   the result is that only cpu#0 is shown.
   cpu#2 and cpu#3 .... cannot be shown in /proc/cpuinfo
   it's bug.
