x86, microcode_amd: cleanup, mark request_microcode_user() as unsupported

2008-09-24T08:32:37+00:00

(1) mark mc_size in generic_load_microcode() as unitialized_var to avoid
     gcc's (false) warning;

(2) mark request_microcode_user() as unsupported. The required changes
    can be added later. Note, we don't break any user-space interfaces
    here, as there were no kernels with support for AMD-specific ucode
    update yet. The ucode has to be updated via 'firmware'.

x86, microcode rework, v2, renaming

2008-09-23T14:12:59+00:00

Renaming based on patch from Dmitry Adamushko.

Made code more readable by renaming define and variables related
to microcode _container_file_ header to make it distinguishable from
microcode _patch_ header.

x86: moved microcode.c to microcode_intel.c

2008-09-23T10:21:42+00:00

Combine both generic and arch-specific parts of microcode into a
single module (arch-specific parts are config-dependent).

Also while we are at it, move arch-specific parts from microcode.h
into their respective arch-specific .c files.

x86, microcode rework, v2

2008-09-12T10:20:27+00:00

this is a rework of the microcode splitup in tip/x86/microcode

(1) I think this new interface is cleaner (look at the changes
    in 'struct microcode_ops' in microcode.h);

(2) it's -64 lines of code;

x86, microcode_amd: fix shift warning

2008-08-22T04:55:21+00:00

microcode_amd.c uses ">> 32" on a 32-bit value, so gcc warns about that.
The code could use something like this *untested* patch.

linux-next-20080821/arch/x86/kernel/microcode_amd.c:229: warning: right shift count >= width of type

x86-microcode: generic interface refactoring

2008-08-20T10:18:57+00:00

This is the 1st patch in the series. Here the aim was to avoid any
significant changes, logically-wise.

So it's mainly about generic interface refactoring: e.g. make
microcode_{intel,amd}.c more about arch-specific details and less
about policies like make-sure-we-run-on-a-target-cpu
(no more set_cpus_allowed_ptr() here) and generic synchronization (no
more microcode_mutex here).

All in all, more line have been deleted than added.

x86-microcode: fix unbalanced use of get_cpu()

2008-08-20T10:18:55+00:00

Don't use get_cpu() at all. Resort to checking a boot-up CPU (#0) in
microcode_{intel,amd}_module_init().
