2014-01-13x86, microcode: Share native MSR accessing variantsBorislav Petkov1-0/+15
We want to use those in AMD's early loading path too. Also, add a native_wrmsrl variant. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Tested-by: Aravind Gopalakrishnan <Aravind.Gopalakrishnan@amd.com>
2013-07-14x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 filesPaul Gortmaker1-2/+2
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files, and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

2013-06-19x86: Fix section mismatch on load_ucode_apPaul Gortmaker1-2/+2
We are in the process of removing all the __cpuinit annotations. While working on making that change, an existing problem was made evident: WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x198f2): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_init() to the function .init.text:load_ucode_ap() The function cpu_init() references the function __init load_ucode_ap(). This is often because cpu_init lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of load_ucode_ap is wrong. This now appears because in my working tree, cpu_init() is no longer tagged as __cpuinit, and so the audit picks up the mismatch. The 2nd hypothesis from the audit is the correct one, as there was an incorrect __init tag on the prototype in the header (but __cpuinit was used on the function itself.) The audit is telling us that the prototype's __init annotation took effect and the function did land in the .init.text section. Checking with objdump on a mainline tree that still has __cpuinit shows that the __cpuinit on the function takes precedence over the __init on the prototype, but that won't be true once we make __cpuinit a no-op. Even though we are removing __cpuinit, we temporarily align both the function and the prototype on __cpuinit so that the changeset can be applied to stable trees if desired.

2012-08-22x86, microcode: Add a refresh firmware flag to ->request_microcode_fwBorislav Petkov1-2/+2
This is done in preparation for teaching the ucode driver to either load a new ucode patches container from userspace or use an already cached version. No functionality change in this patch.

2012-08-22x86, microcode, AMD: Remove useless get_ucode_data wrapperBorislav Petkov1-6/+0
get_ucode_data was a trivial memcpy wrapper. Remove it so as not to obfuscate code unnecessarily with no obvious gain. No functional change.

2010-11-10x86, microcode, AMD: Cleanup code a bitBorislav Petkov1-0/+6
get_ucode_data is a memcpy() wrapper which always returns 0. Move it into the header and make it an inline. Remove all code checking its return value and turn it into a void. There should be no functionality change resulting from this patch. Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>
2010-01-23Revert "x86: ucode-amd: Load ucode-patches once ..."Andreas Herrmann1-2/+0
Commit d1c84f79a6ba992dc01e312c44a21496303874d6 leads to a regression when microcode_amd.c is compiled into the kernel. It causes a big boot delay because the firmware is not available. See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126267290920060 It also renders the reload sysfs attribute useless. Fixing this is too intrusive for an -rc5 kernel. Thus I'd like to restore the microcode loading behaviour of kernel 2.6.32.

2009-05-12x86: microcode: use smp_call_function_single instead of set_cpus_allowed, cleanup of synchronization logicDmitry Adamushko1-7/+18
* Solve issues described in 6f66cbc63081fd70e3191b4dbb796746780e5ae1 in a way that doesn't resort to set_cpus_allowed(); * in fact, only collect_cpu_info and apply_microcode callbacks must run on a target cpu, others will do just fine on any other. smp_call_function_single() (as suggested by Ingo) is used to run these callbacks on a target cpu. * cleanup of synchronization logic of the 'microcode_core' part The generic 'microcode_core' part guarantees that only a single cpu (be it a full-fledged cpu, one of the cores or HT) is being updated at any particular moment of time. In general, there is no need for any additional sync. mechanism in arch-specific parts (the patch removes existing spinlocks). See also the "Synchronization" section in microcode_core.c. * return -EINVAL instead of -1 (which is translated into -EPERM) in microcode_write(), reload_cpu() and mc_sysdev_add(). Other suggestions for an error code? * use 'enum ucode_state' as return value of request_microcode_{fw, user} to gain more flexibility by distinguishing between real error cases and situations when an appropriate ucode was not found (which is not an error per-se). * some minor cleanups Thanks a lot to Hugh Dickins for review/suggestions/testing!
