      x86, microcode, AMD: Fix early microcode loading · 84516098
      Torsten Kaiser 提交于
      load_microcode_amd() (and the helper it is using) should not have an
      cpu parameter. The microcode loading does not depend on the CPU wrt the
      patches loaded since they will end up in a global list for all CPUs
      anyway.
      
      The change from cpu to x86family in load_microcode_amd()
      now allows to drop the code messing with cpu_data(cpu) from
      collect_cpu_info_amd_early(), which is wrong anyway because at that
      point the per-cpu cpu_info is not yet setup (These values would later be
      overwritten by smp_store_boot_cpu_info() / smp_store_cpu_info()).
      
      Fold the rest of collect_cpu_info_amd_early() into load_ucode_amd_ap(),
      because its only used at one place and without the cpuinfo_x86 accesses
      it was not much left.

      x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files · 148f9bb8
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      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 5e427ec2 ("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.
