Downloading firmware needs a device to hang off of, and so a platform device
seemed like the simplest way to do this. Now that we have a faux device
interface, use that instead as this "microcode device" is not anything
resembling a platform device at all.

Consolidate the whole logic which determines whether the microcode loader
should be enabled or not into a single function and call it everywhere.
Well, almost everywhere - not in mk_early_pgtbl_32() because there the kernel
is running without paging enabled and checking dis_ucode_ldr et al would
require physical addresses and uglification of the code.
But since this is 32-bit, the easier thing to do is to simply map the initrd
unconditionally especially since that mapping is getting removed later anyway
by zap_early_initrd_mapping() and avoid the uglification.
In doing so, address the issue of old 486er machines without CPUID
support, not booting current kernels.

For historic reasons there are some TSC-related functions in the

To facilitate the relocation of rdtsc{,_ordered}() from <asm/msr.h>

The AMD side of the loader issues the microcode revision for each
logical thread on the system, which can become really noisy on huge
machines. And doing that doesn't make a whole lot of sense - the
microcode revision is already in /proc/cpuinfo.
So in case one is interested in the theoretical support of mixed silicon
steppings on AMD, one can check there.
What is also missing on the AMD side - something which people have
requested before - is showing the microcode revision the CPU had
*before* the early update.
So abstract that up in the main code and have the BSP on each vendor
provide those revision numbers.
Then, dump them only once on driver init.
On Intel, do not dump the patch date - it is not needed.

First of all, the print is useless. The driver will either load and say
which microcode revision the machine has or issue an error.
Then, the version number is meaningless and actively confusing, as Yazen
mentioned recently: when a subset of patches are backported to a distro
kernel, one can't assume the driver version is the same as the upstream
one. And besides, the version number of the loader hasn't been used and
incremented for a long time. So drop it.

Applying microcode late can be fatal for the running kernel when the
update changes functionality which is in use already in a non-compatible
way, e.g. by removing a CPUID bit.
There is no way for admins which do not have access to the vendors deep
technical support to decide whether late loading of such a microcode is
safe or not.
Intel has added a new field to the microcode header which tells the
minimal microcode revision which is required to be active in the CPU in
order to be safe.
Provide infrastructure for handling this in the core code and a command
line switch which allows to enforce it.
If the update is considered safe the kernel is not tainted and the annoying
warning message not emitted. If it's enforced and the currently loaded
microcode revision is not safe for late loading then the load is aborted.

Offline CPUs need to be parked in a safe loop when microcode update is
in progress on the primary CPU. Currently, offline CPUs are parked in
mwait_play_dead(), and for Intel CPUs, its not a safe instruction,
because the MWAIT instruction can be patched in the new microcode update
that can cause instability.
- Add a new microcode state 'UCODE_OFFLINE' to report status on per-CPU
basis.
- Force NMI on the offline CPUs.
Wake up offline CPUs while the update is in progress and then return
them back to mwait_play_dead() after microcode update is complete.

The wait for control loop in which the siblings are waiting for the
microcode update on the primary thread must be protected against
instrumentation as instrumentation can end up in #INT3, #DB or #PF,

stop_machine() does not prevent the spin-waiting sibling from handling
an NMI, which is obviously violating the whole concept of rendezvous.
Implement a static branch right in the beginning of the NMI handler
which is nopped out except when enabled by the late loading mechanism.
The late loader enables the static branch before stop_machine() is
invoked. Each CPU has an nmi_enable in its control structure which
indicates whether the CPU should go into the update routine.
This is required to bridge the gap between enabling the branch and
actually being at the point where it is required to enter the loader
wait loop.
Each CPU which arrives in the stopper thread function sets that flag and
issues a self NMI right after that. If the NMI function sees the flag
clear, it returns. If it's set it clears the flag and enters the
rendezvous.
This is safe against a real NMI which hits in between setting the flag
and sending the NMI to itself. The real NMI will be swallowed by the
microcode update and the self NMI will then let stuff continue.
Otherwise this would end up with a spurious NMI.

The current all in one code is unreadable and really not suited for
adding future features like uniform loading with package or system
scope.
Provide a set of new control functions which split the handling of the
primary and secondary CPUs. These will replace the current rendezvous
all in one function in the next step. This is intentionally a separate
change because diff makes an complete unreadable mess otherwise.
So the flow separates the primary and the secondary CPUs into their own
functions which use the control field in the per CPU ucode_ctrl struct.

Add a per CPU control field to ucode_ctrl and define constants for it
which are going to be used to control the loading state machine.
In theory this could be a global control field, but a global control does
not cover the following case:
15 primary CPUs load microcode successfully
1 primary CPU fails and returns with an error code
With global control the sibling of the failed CPU would either try again or
the whole operation would be aborted with the consequence that the 15
siblings do not invoke the apply path and end up with inconsistent software
state. The result in dmesg would be inconsistent too.
There are two additional fields added and initialized:
ctrl_cpu and secondaries. ctrl_cpu is the CPU number of the primary thread
for now, but with the upcoming uniform loading at package or system scope
this will be one CPU per package or just one CPU. Secondaries hands the
control CPU a CPU mask which will be required to release the secondary CPUs
out of the wait loop.
Preparatory change for implementing a properly split control flow for
primary and secondary CPUs.

not allow to analyze fails in a coherent way.
Introduce per CPU state where the results are written into, which allows to
analyze the return codes of the individual CPUs.
Initialize the state when walking the cpu_present_mask in the online
check to avoid another for_each_cpu() loop.
Enhance the result print out with that.

The code is too complicated for no reason:
- The return value is pointless as this is a strict boolean.
- It's way simpler to count down from num_online_cpus() and check for
zero.
- The timeout argument is pointless as this is always one second.
- Touching the NMI watchdog every 100ns does not make any sense, neither
does checking every 100ns. This is really not a hotpath operation.
Preload the atomic counter with the number of online CPUs and simplify the
whole timeout logic. Delay for one microsecond and touch the NMI watchdog
once per millisecond.

On CPUs where microcode loading is not NMI-safe the SMT siblings which
are parked in one of the play_dead() variants still react to NMIs.
So if an NMI hits while the primary thread updates the microcode the
resulting behaviour is undefined. The default play_dead() implementation on
modern CPUs is using MWAIT which is not guaranteed to be safe against
a microcode update which affects MWAIT.
Take the cpus_booted_once_mask into account to detect this case and
refuse to load late if the vendor specific driver does not advertise
that late loading is NMI safe.
AMD stated that this is safe, so mark the AMD driver accordingly.
This requirement will be partially lifted in later changes.

There are situations where the late microcode is loaded into memory but
is not applied:
1) The rendezvous fails
2) The microcode is rejected by the CPUs
If any of this happens then the pointer which was updated at firmware
load time is stale and subsequent CPU hotplug operations either fail to
update or create inconsistent microcode state.

The early loading code is overly complicated:
- It scans the builtin/initrd for microcode not only on the BSP, but also
on all APs during early boot and then later in the boot process it
scans again to duplicate and save the microcode before initrd goes
away.
That's a pointless exercise because this can be simply done before
bringing up the APs when the memory allocator is up and running.
- Saving the microcode from within the scan loop is completely
non-obvious and a left over of the microcode cache.
This can be done at the call site now which makes it obvious.
Rework the code so that only the BSP scans the builtin/initrd microcode
once during early boot and save it away in an early initcall for later
use.
[ bp: Test and fold in a fix from tglx ontop which handles the need to
distinguish what save_microcode() does depending on when it is
called:
- when on the BSP during early load, it needs to find a newer
revision than the one currently loaded on the BSP
- later, before SMP init, it still runs on the BSP and gets the BSP
revision just loaded and uses that revision to know which patch
to save for the APs. For that it needs to find the exact one as
on the BSP.

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.

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.

microcode_mutex is only used by reload_store(). It has a comment saying
"to synchronize with each other". Other user of this mutex have been
removed in the commits
181b6f40e9ea8 ("x86/microcode: Rip out the OLD_INTERFACE").
b6f86689d5b74 ("x86/microcode: Rip out the subsys interface gunk")
The sysfs interface does not need additional synchronisation vs itself
because it is provided as kernfs_ops::mutex which is acquired in
kernfs_fop_write_iter().
Remove the superfluous microcode_mutex.

Microcode gets reloaded late only if "1" is written to the reload file.
However, the code silently treats any other unsigned integer as a
successful write even though no actions are performed to load microcode.
Make the loader more strict to accept only "1" as a trigger value and
return an error otherwise.

The kernel caches each CPU's feature bits at boot in an x86_capability[]
structure. However, the capabilities in the BSP's copy can be turned off
as a result of certain command line parameters or configuration
restrictions, for example the SGX bit. This can cause a mismatch when
comparing the values before and after the microcode update.
Another example is X86_FEATURE_SRBDS_CTRL which gets added only after
microcode update:
--- cpuid.before 2023-01-21 14:54:15.652000747 +0100

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.

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.
