<content type='text'>
When we look for microcode blobs, we first try builtin and if that
doesn't succeed, we fallback to the initrd supplied to the kernel.

However, at some point doing boot, that initrd gets jettisoned and we
shouldn't access it anymore. But we do, as the below KASAN report shows.
That's because find_microcode_in_initrd() doesn't check whether the
initrd is still valid or not.

So do that.

<title>x86/microcode/intel: Drop stashed AP patch pointer optimization</title>

This was meant to save us the scanning of the microcode containter in
the initrd since the first AP had already done that but it can also hurt
us:

Imagine a single hyperthreaded CPU (Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270, for
example) which updates the microcode on the BSP but since the microcode
engine is shared between the two threads, the update on CPU1 doesn't
happen because it has already happened on CPU0 and we don't find a newer
microcode revision on CPU1.

Which doesn't set the intel_ucode_patch pointer and at initrd
jettisoning time we don't save the microcode patch for later
application.

Now, when we suspend to RAM, the loaded microcode gets cleared so we
need to reload but there's no patch saved in the cache.

Removing the optimization fixes this issue and all is fine and dandy.

<title>x86/microcode/intel: Use correct buffer size for saving microcode data</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2e86222c67bb5d942da68e8415749b32db208534</id>
<content type='text'>
In generic_load_microcode(), curr_mc_size is the size of the last
allocated buffer and since we have this performance "optimization"
there to vmalloc a new buffer only when the current one is bigger,
curr_mc_size ends up becoming the size of the biggest buffer we've seen
so far.

However, we end up saving the microcode patch which matches our CPU
and its size is not curr_mc_size but the respective mc_size during the
iteration while we're staring at it.

So save that mc_size into a separate variable and use it to store the
previously found microcode buffer.

Without this fix, we could get oops like this:

Since on Intel we're required to do CPUID(1) first, before reading
the microcode revision MSR, let's add a special helper which does the
required steps so that we don't forget to do them next time, when we
want to read the microcode revision.

Intel supplies the microcode revision value in MSR 0x8b
(IA32_BIOS_SIGN_ID) after CPUID(1) has been executed. Execute it each
time before reading that MSR.

It used to do sync_core() which did do CPUID but

  c198b121b1a1 ("x86/asm: Rewrite sync_core() to use IRET-to-self")

changed the sync_core() implementation so we better make the microcode
loading case explicit, as the SDM documents it.

When we switch to virtual addresses and, especially after
reserve_initrd()-&gt;relocate_initrd() have run, we have the updated initrd
address in initrd_start. Use initrd_start then instead of the address
which has been passed to us through boot params. (That still gets used
when we're running the very early routines on the BSP).

The Intel microcode driver is using sync_core() to mean "do CPUID
with EAX=1".  I want to rework sync_core(), but first the Intel
microcode driver needs to stop depending on its current behavior.

When CONFIG_PARAVIRT is selected, cpuid() becomes a call. Since
for 32-bit kernels load_ucode_amd_bsp() is executed before paging
is enabled the call cannot be completed (as kernel virtual addresses
are not reachable yet).

Use native_cpuid() instead which is an asm wrapper for the CPUID
instruction.

Doing so is completely void of sense for multiple reasons so prevent
it. Set dis_ucode_ldr to true and thus disable the microcode loader by
default to address xen pv guests which execute the AP path but not the
BSP path.

By having it turned off by default, the APs won't run into the loader
either.

Also, check CPUID(1).ECX[31] which hypervisors set. Well almost, not the
xen pv one. That one gets the aforementioned "fix".

Also, improve the detection method by caching the final decision whether
to continue loading in dis_ucode_ldr and do it once on the BSP. The APs
then simply test that value.
