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

2017-01-09T22:11:14+00:00

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.

x86/microcode/intel: Remove intel_lib.c

2016-10-25T10:28:59+00:00

Its functions are used in intel.c only now, so get rid of it. Make
functions static.

No functionality change.

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: Get rid of DWSIZE

sizeof(u32) is perfectly clear as it is.

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.

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

... to has_newer_microcode() as it does exactly that: checks
whether binary data @mc has newer microcode patch than the
applied one. Move @mc to be the first function arg too.

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.
