1396fa9cd2 x86, microcode, AMD: Fix signedness bug in generic_load_microcode()
install_equiv_cpu_table() returns type int.  It uses negative
error codes so using an unsigned type breaks the error handling.

44d60c0f5c x86, microcode, AMD: Extend ucode size verification
The different families have a different max size for the ucode patch,
adjust size checking to the family we're running on. Also, do not
vzalloc the max size of the ucode but only the actual size that is
passed on from the firmware loader.

7cc27349cb x86, microcode, AMD: Simplify get_next_ucode
Do not copy the section header but look at it directly through the

thus dropping a bunch of unneeded casts. Finally, simplify
generic_load_microcode(), while at it.

There's no need to memcpy the ucode header in order to look at it only
in this function - use the original buffer instead. Also, fix return

otherwise.

get_ucode_data is a memcpy() wrapper which always returns 0. Move it

8e5e9521c1 x86: Remove unnecessary casts of void ptr returning alloc function return values
The [vk][cmz]alloc(_node) family of functions return void
pointers which it's completely unnecessary/pointless to cast to
other pointer types since that happens implicitly.

This patch removes such casts from arch/x86.

3b2e3d85ae Revert "x86: ucode-amd: Load ucode-patches once ..."
Commit d1c84f79a6
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.

14c569425a x86: ucode-amd: Don't warn when no ucode is available for a CPU revision
There is no point in warning when there is no ucode available
for a specific CPU revision. Currently the container-file, which
provides the AMD ucode patches for OS load, contains only a few
ucode patches.

It's already clearly indicated by the printed patch_level
whenever new ucode was available and an update happened. So the
warning message is of no help but rather annoying on systems
with many CPUs.

871b72dd1e x86: microcode: use smp_call_function_single instead of set_cpus_allowed, cleanup of synchronization logic
* Solve issues described in 6f66cbc630
  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!

d45de40934 x86-microcode: generic interface refactoring
This is the 1st patch in the series. Here the aim was to avoid any
significant changes, logically-wise.

So it's mainly about generic interface refactoring: e.g. make
microcode_{intel,amd}.c more about arch-specific details and less
about policies like make-sure-we-run-on-a-target-cpu
(no more set_cpus_allowed_ptr() here) and generic synchronization (no
more microcode_mutex here).

All in all, more line have been deleted than added.

80cc9f1020 x86: AMD microcode patch loading support
This patch introduces microcode patch loading for AMD
processors. It is based on previous corresponding work
for Intel processors.

It hooks into the general patch loading module. Main
difference is that a container file format is used to hold
all patch data for multiple processors as well as an
equivalent CPU table, which comes seperately, as opposed
to Intel's microcode patching solution.

Kconfig and Makefile have been changed provice config
and build option for new source file.
