[ Upstream commit 05243d490bb7852a8acca7b5b5658019c7797a52 ]

Move FSGSBASE enablement from identify_cpu() to cpu_init_exception_handling()
to ensure it is enabled before any exceptions can occur on both boot and
secondary CPUs.

== Background ==

Exception entry code (paranoid_entry()) uses ALTERNATIVE patching based on
X86_FEATURE_FSGSBASE to decide whether to use RDGSBASE/WRGSBASE instructions
or the slower RDMSR/SWAPGS sequence for saving/restoring GSBASE.

On boot CPU, ALTERNATIVE patching happens after enabling FSGSBASE in CR4.
When the feature is available, the code is permanently patched to use
RDGSBASE/WRGSBASE, which require CR4.FSGSBASE=1 to execute without triggering

== Boot Sequence ==

Boot CPU (with CR pinning enabled):
  trap_init()
    cpu_init()                   <- Uses unpatched code (RDMSR/SWAPGS)
      x2apic_setup()
  ...
  arch_cpu_finalize_init()
    identify_boot_cpu()
      identify_cpu()
        cr4_set_bits(X86_CR4_FSGSBASE)  # Enables the feature
	# This becomes part of cr4_pinned_bits
    ...
    alternative_instructions()   <- Patches code to use RDGSBASE/WRGSBASE

Secondary CPUs (with CR pinning enabled):
  start_secondary()
    cr4_init()                   <- Code already patched, CR4.FSGSBASE=1
                                    set implicitly via cr4_pinned_bits

    cpu_init()                   <- exceptions work because FSGSBASE is
                                    already enabled

Secondary CPU (with CR pinning disabled):
  start_secondary()
    cr4_init()                   <- Code already patched, CR4.FSGSBASE=0
    cpu_init()
      x2apic_setup()
        rdmsrq(MSR_IA32_APICBASE)  <- Triggers #VC in SNP guests
          exc_vmm_communication()
            paranoid_entry()       <- Uses RDGSBASE with CR4.FSGSBASE=0
                                      (patched code)
    ...
    ap_starting()
      identify_secondary_cpu()
        identify_cpu()
	  cr4_set_bits(X86_CR4_FSGSBASE)  <- Enables the feature, which is
                                             too late

== CR Pinning ==

Currently, for secondary CPUs, CR4.FSGSBASE is set implicitly through
CR-pinning: the boot CPU sets it during identify_cpu(), it becomes part of
cr4_pinned_bits, and cr4_init() applies those pinned bits to secondary CPUs.
This works but creates an undocumented dependency between cr4_init() and the
pinning mechanism.

== Problem ==

Secondary CPUs boot after alternatives have been applied globally. They
execute already-patched paranoid_entry() code that uses RDGSBASE/WRGSBASE
instructions, which require CR4.FSGSBASE=1. Upcoming changes to CR pinning
behavior will break the implicit dependency, causing secondary CPUs to
generate #UD.

This issue manifests itself on AMD SEV-SNP guests, where the rdmsrq() in
x2apic_setup() triggers a #VC exception early during cpu_init(). The #VC
handler (exc_vmm_communication()) executes the patched paranoid_entry() path.
Without CR4.FSGSBASE enabled, RDGSBASE instructions trigger #UD.

== Fix ==

Enable FSGSBASE explicitly in cpu_init_exception_handling() before loading
exception handlers. This makes the dependency explicit and ensures both
boot and secondary CPUs have FSGSBASE enabled before paranoid_entry()
executes.

x86/resctrl: Fix memory bandwidth counter width for Hygon 2026-01-30T09:27:28+00:00 Xiaochen Shen shenxiaochen@open-hieco.net 2025-12-09T06:26:50+00:00 b73f2834e1bc6daeb67ef43404149073e7dccadb commit 7517e899e1b87b4c22a92c7e40d8733c48e4ec3c upstream. The memory bandwidth calculation relies on reading the hardware counter and measuring the delta between samples. To ensure accurate measurement, the software reads the counter frequently enough to prevent it from rolling over twice between reads. The default Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM) counter width is 24 bits. Hygon CPUs provide a 32-bit width counter, but they do not support the MBM capability CPUID leaf (0xF.[ECX=1]:EAX) to report the width offset (from 24 bits). Consequently, the kernel falls back to the 24-bit default counter width, which causes incorrect overflow handling on Hygon CPUs. Fix this by explicitly setting the counter width offset to 8 bits (resulting in a 32-bit total counter width) for Hygon CPUs.

x86/microcode/AMD: Select which microcode patch to load 2026-01-17T15:30:00+00:00 Borislav Petkov (AMD) bp@alien8.de 2026-01-12T11:27:48+00:00 5c7c4131beade68a52dacfc7d7fede833a396837 Commit 8d171045069c804e5ffaa18be590c42c6af0cf3f upstream. All microcode patches up to the proper BIOS Entrysign fix are loaded only after the sha256 signature carried in the driver has been verified. Microcode patches after the Entrysign fix has been applied, do not need that signature verification anymore. In order to not abandon machines which haven't received the BIOS update yet, add the capability to select which microcode patch to load. The corresponding microcode container supplied through firmware-linux has been modified to carry two patches per CPU type (family/model/stepping) so that the proper one gets selected.

Commit 8d171045069c804e5ffaa18be590c42c6af0cf3f upstream.

All microcode patches up to the proper BIOS Entrysign fix are loaded
only after the sha256 signature carried in the driver has been verified.

Microcode patches after the Entrysign fix has been applied, do not need
that signature verification anymore.

In order to not abandon machines which haven't received the BIOS update
yet, add the capability to select which microcode patch to load.

The corresponding microcode container supplied through firmware-linux
has been modified to carry two patches per CPU type
(family/model/stepping) so that the proper one gets selected.
