Mixed steppings aren't supported on Intel CPUs. Only one microcode patch
is required for the entire system. The caching of microcode blobs which
match the family and model is therefore pointless and in fact is
dysfunctional as CPU hotplug updates use only a single microcode blob,
i.e. the one where *intel_ucode_patch points to.
Remove the microcode cache and make it an AMD local feature.
[ tglx:
- save only at the end. Otherwise random microcode ends up in the
pointer for early loading
- free the ucode patch pointer in save_microcode_patch() only
after kmemdup() has succeeded, as reported by Andrew Cooper ]

32-bit loads microcode before paging is enabled. The commit which
introduced that has zero justification in the changelog. The cover
letter has slightly more content, but it does not give any technical
justification either:
"The problem in current microcode loading method is that we load a
microcode way, way too late; ideally we should load it before turning
paging on. This may only be practical on 32 bits since we can't get
to 64-bit mode without paging on, but we should still do it as early
as at all possible."
Handwaving word salad with zero technical content.
Someone claimed in an offlist conversation that this is required for
curing the ATOM erratum AAE44/AAF40/AAG38/AAH41. That erratum requires
an microcode update in order to make the usage of PSE safe. But during
early boot, PSE is completely irrelevant and it is evaluated way later.
Neither is it relevant for the AP on single core HT enabled CPUs as the
microcode loading on the AP is not doing anything.
On dual core CPUs there is a theoretical problem if a split of an
executable large page between enabling paging including PSE and loading
the microcode happens. But that's only theoretical, it's practically
irrelevant because the affected dual core CPUs are 64bit enabled and
therefore have paging and PSE enabled before loading the microcode on
the second core. So why would it work on 64-bit but not on 32-bit?
The erratum:
"AAG38 Code Fetch May Occur to Incorrect Address After a Large Page is
Split Into 4-Kbyte Pages
Problem: If software clears the PS (page size) bit in a present PDE
(page directory entry), that will cause linear addresses mapped through
this PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old
TLB entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses
this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then it
may fetch from a different physical address than specified by either the
old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page translation. This
erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from incorrect addresses."
The practical relevance for this is exactly zero because there is no
splitting of large text pages during early boot-time, i.e. between paging
enable and microcode loading, and neither during CPU hotplug.
IOW, this load microcode before paging enable is yet another voodoo
programming solution in search of a problem. What's worse is that it causes
at least two serious problems:
1) When stackprotector is enabled, the microcode loader code has the
stackprotector mechanics enabled. The read from the per CPU variable
__stack_chk_guard is always accessing the virtual address either
directly on UP or via %fs on SMP. In physical address mode this
results in an access to memory above 3GB. So this works by chance as
the hardware returns the same value when there is no RAM at this
physical address. When there is RAM populated above 3G then the read
is by chance the same as nothing changes that memory during the very
early boot stage. That's not necessarily true during runtime CPU
hotplug.
2) When function tracing is enabled, the relevant microcode loader
functions and the functions invoked from there will call into the
tracing code and evaluate global and per CPU variables in physical
address mode. What could potentially go wrong?
Cure this and move the microcode loading after the early paging enable, use
the new temporary initrd mapping and remove the gunk in the microcode
loader which is required to handle physical address mode.

Building with GCC 11.x results in the following warning:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c: In function ‘find_blobs_in_containers’:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c:504:58: error: ‘h.bin’ directive output may be truncated writing 5 bytes into a region of size between 1 and 7 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c:503:17: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 35 and 41 bytes into a destination of size 36
The issue is that GCC does not know that the family can only be a byte
(it ultimately comes from CPUID). Suggest the right size to the compiler
by marking the argument as char-size ("hh"). While at it, instead of
using the slightly more obscure precision specifier use the width with
zero padding (over 23000 occurrences in kernel sources, vs 500 for
the idiom using the precision).

Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.
Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in
the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct
class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes.
This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
"provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for
all busses and classes in the kernel.
The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of
them actually did so.
Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other

- cacheinfo improvements and updates
- obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes
- documentation updates
- device property cleanups and const * changes
- firwmare loader dependency fixes.

The AMD side of the loader has always claimed to support mixed
steppings. But somewhere along the way, it broke that by assuming that
the cached patch blob is a single one instead of it being one per
*node*.
So turn it into a per-node one so that each node can stash the blob
relevant for it.

Its sole purpose is to print the microcode revision.
The only available ucode_cpu_info always describes the currently loaded

new revision, or on failure it is the original revision.

and which proves for a gazillionth time that late loading is a bad bad
idea.
microcode_check() is called after an update to report any previously
cached CPUID bits which might have changed due to the update.
Therefore, store the cached CPU caps before the update and compare them
with the CPU caps after the microcode update has succeeded.
Thus, the comparison is done between the CPUID *hardware* bits before
and after the upgrade instead of using the cached, possibly runtime
modified values in BSP's boot_cpu_data copy.
As a result, false warnings about CPUID bits changes are avoided.

It can happen that - especially during testing - the microcode

a microcode patch and continues to the next one, which leads to
save_microcode_in_initrd_amd() to look at the next and thus wrong one:

Merge tag 'x86_microcode_for_v6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 microcode and IFS updates from Borislav Petkov:
"The IFS (In-Field Scan) stuff goes through tip because the IFS driver
uses the same structures and similar functionality as the microcode
loader and it made sense to route it all through this branch so that
there are no conflicts.
- Add support for multiple testing sequences to the Intel In-Field
Scan driver in order to be able to run multiple different test
patterns. Rework things and remove the BROKEN dependency so that
the driver can be enabled (Jithu Joseph)
- Remove the subsys interface usage in the microcode loader because
it is not really needed
- A couple of smaller fixes and cleanups"

only one microcode image at a time. Any retries will simply reattempt to
apply the same image over and over without making progress.

collect_cpu_info() is used to collect the current microcode revision and
processor flags on every CPU.
It had a weird mechanism to try to mimick a "once" functionality in the
sense that, that information should be issued only when it is differing
from the previous CPU.
However (1):
the new calling sequence started doing that in parallel:
microcode_init()
|-> schedule_on_each_cpu(setup_online_cpu)
|-> collect_cpu_info()
resulting in multiple redundant prints:
microcode: sig=0x50654, pf=0x80, revision=0x2006e05
microcode: sig=0x50654, pf=0x80, revision=0x2006e05
microcode: sig=0x50654, pf=0x80, revision=0x2006e05
However (2):
dumping this here is not that important because the kernel does not
support mixed silicon steppings microcode. Finally!
Besides, there is already a pr_info() in microcode_reload_late() that
shows both the old and new revisions.
What is more, the CPU signature (sig=0x50654) and Processor Flags
(pf=0x80) above aren't that useful to the end user, they are available
via /proc/cpuinfo and they don't change anyway.
Remove the redundant pr_info().

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.
Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...

IFS test images and microcode blobs use the same header format.
Microcode blobs use header type of 1, whereas IFS test images
will use header type of 2.
In preparation for IFS reusing intel_microcode_sanity_check(),
add header type as a parameter for sanity check.

IFS uses test images provided by Intel that can be regarded as firmware.
An IFS test image carries microcode header with an extended signature
table.
Reuse find_matching_signature() for verifying if the test image header
or the extended signature table indicate whether that image is fit to
run on a system.

Get rid of all the IPI-sending functions and their wrappers and use
those which are supposed to be called on each CPU.
Thus:
- microcode_init_cpu() gets called on each CPU on init, applying any new
microcode that the driver might've found on the filesystem.
- mc_cpu_starting() simply tries to apply cached microcode as this is
the cpuhp starting callback which gets called on CPU resume too.
Even if the driver init function is a late initcall, there is no
filesystem by then (not even a hdd driver has been loaded yet) so a new
firmware load attempt cannot simply be done.
It is pointless anyway - for that there's late loading if one really
needs it.

This is a left-over from the old days when CPU hotplug wasn't as robust
as it is now. Currently, microcode gets loaded early on the CPU init
path and there's no need to attempt to load it again, which that subsys
interface callback is doing.
The only other thing that the subsys interface init path was doing is
adding the
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/microcode/
hierarchy.
So add a function which gets called on each CPU after all the necessary
driver setup has happened. Use schedule_on_each_cpu() which can block
because the sysfs creating code does kmem_cache_zalloc() which can block
too and the initial version of this where it did that setup in an IPI
handler of on_each_cpu() can cause a deadlock of the sort:
lock(fs_reclaim);
<Interrupt>
lock(fs_reclaim);
as the IPI handler runs in IRQ context.

Currently, the patch application logic checks whether the revision
needs to be applied on each logical CPU (SMT thread). Therefore, on SMT
designs where the microcode engine is shared between the two threads,
the application happens only on one of them as that is enough to update
the shared microcode engine.
However, there are microcode patches which do per-thread modification,
see Link tag below.
Therefore, drop the revision check and try applying on each thread. This
is what the BIOS does too so this method is very much tested.
Btw, change only the early paths. On the late loading paths, there's no
point in doing per-thread modification because if is it some case like
in the bugzilla below - removing a CPUID flag - the kernel cannot go and
un-use features it has detected are there early. For that, one should
use early loading anyway.

In preparation for reducing the use of ksize(), record the actual
allocation size for later memcpy(). This avoids copying extra
(uninitialized!) bytes into the patch buffer when the requested
allocation size isn't exactly the size of a kmalloc bucket.
Additionally, fix potential future issues where runtime bounds checking
will notice that the buffer was allocated to a smaller value than
returned by ksize().
