      x86, microcode: Reload microcode on resume · fbae4ba8
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      Normally, we do reapply microcode on resume. However, in the cases where
      that microcode comes from the early loader and the late loader hasn't
      been utilized yet, there's no easy way for us to go and apply the patch
      applied during boot by the early loader.
      
      Thus, reuse the patch stashed by the early loader for the BSP.

      x86, microcode, intel: Fix total_size computation · ebc14ddc
      Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 提交于
      According to the Intel SDM vol 3A (order code 253668-051US, June 2014),
      on section 9.11.1, page 9-28:
      
      "For microcode updates with a data size field equal to 00000000H, the
      size of the microcode update is 2048 bytes. The first 48 bytes contain
      the microcode update header. The remaining 2000 bytes contain encrypted
      data."
      
      "For microcode updates with a data size not equal to 00000000H, the total
      size field specifies the size of the microcode update."
      
      Up to 2002/2003, Intel used an "old format" for the microcode update
      containers that was always 2048 bytes in size. That old format did not
      have Data Size and Total Size fields, the quadwords at those positions
      in the microcode container header were "reserved". The microcode header
      of the "old format" microcode container has a hrdver of 0x01. You can
      hunt down an old copy of the Intel SDM to validate this through its
      order number (#243192). I found one from 1999 through a Google search.
      
      Sometime in 2002/2003 (AFAICT, for the Prescott processors), Intel
      documented a new format for the microcode containers and contributed in
      2003 some code to the Linux kernel microcode driver implementing support
      for the new format. This new format has Data Size and Total Size fields,
      as well as the optional extended signature table. However, it reuses the
      same hrdver as the old format (0x01), and it can only be told apart from
      the old format by a non-zero Data Size field.
      
      In fact, the only reason we can even trust a Data Size of zero to mean
      that the microcode container is in the old format, is because Intel
      reatroatively promised that the old format would always have a zero
      there when they wrote the documentation for the _new_ format.
      
      This is a very old bug, dating back to 2003. It has been dormant
      ever since, as Intel seems to set all reserved fields to zero on the
      microcode updates they distribute: I could not find a public microcode
      update that would trigger this bug.

      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.
