unconditionally ucode_cpu_info of CPU0.
Fix this by using the proper CPU data and move the assignment into the

Microcode is applied on the APs during early bringup. There is no point
in trying to apply the microcode again during the hotplug operations and
neither at the point where the microcode device is initialized.
Collect CPU info and microcode revision in setup_online_cpu() for now.
This will move to the CPU hotplug callback later.
[ bp: Leave the starting notifier for the following scenario:
- boot, late load, suspend to disk, resume
without the starting notifier, only the last core manages to update the
microcode upon resume:
# rdmsr -a 0x8b
10000bf
10000bf
10000bf
10000bf
10000bf
10000dc <----
This is on an AMD F10h machine.
For the future, one should check whether potential unification of
the CPU init path could cover the resume path too so that this can
be simplified even more.
tglx: This is caused by the odd handling of APs which try to find the
microcode blob in builtin or initrd instead of caching the microcode
blob during early init before the APs are brought up. Will be cleaned
up in a later step. ]

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.
Save the loaded microcode in a separate pointer before the late load is
attempted and when successful, update the hotplug pointer accordingly
via a new microcode_ops callback.
Remove the pointless fallback in the loader to a microcode pointer which
is never populated.

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.
[ tglx:
- save only at the end. Otherwise random microcode ends up in the
pointer for early loading
- free the ucode patch pointer in save_microcode_patch() only
after kmemdup() has succeeded, as reported by Andrew Cooper ]

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.

Building with GCC 11.x results in the following warning:

The issue is that GCC does not know that the family can only be a byte

by marking the argument as char-size ("hh"). While at it, instead of
using the slightly more obscure precision specifier use the width with
zero padding (over 23000 occurrences in kernel sources, vs 500 for
the idiom using the precision).

The AMD side of the loader has always claimed to support mixed
steppings. But somewhere along the way, it broke that by assuming that
the cached patch blob is a single one instead of it being one per
*node*.
So turn it into a per-node one so that each node can stash the blob
relevant for it.

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.

shows both the old and new revisions.
What is more, the CPU signature (sig=0x50654) and Processor Flags
(pf=0x80) above aren't that useful to the end user, they are available
via /proc/cpuinfo and they don't change anyway.
Remove the redundant pr_info().

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.
Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...
