* x86, intel: Output microcode revision in /proc/cpuinfoAndi Kleen2011-10-141-9/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I got a request to make it easier to determine the microcode update level on Intel CPUs. This patch adds a new "microcode" field to /proc/cpuinfo. The microcode level is also outputed on fatal machine checks together with the other CPUID model information. I removed the respective code from the microcode update driver, it just reads the field from cpu_data. Also when the microcode is updated it fills in the new values too. I had to add a memory barrier to native_cpuid to prevent it being optimized away when the result is not used. This turns out to clean up further code which already got this information manually. This is done in followon patches. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: H.

* x86/microcode: Fix double vfree() and remove redundant pointer checks before ↵Jesper Juhl2010-12-271-11/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vfree() In arch/x86/kernel/microcode_intel.c::generic_load_microcode() we have this: while (leftover) { ... if (get_ucode_data(mc, ucode_ptr, mc_size) || microcode_sanity_check(mc) < 0) { vfree(mc); break; } ... } if (mc) vfree(mc); This will cause a double free of 'mc'. This patch fixes that by just removing the vfree() call in the loop since 'mc' will be freed nicely just after we break out of the loop. There's also a second change in the patch. I noticed a lot of checks for pointers being NULL before passing them to vfree(). That's completely redundant since vfree() deals gracefully with being passed a NULL pointer. Removing the redundant checks yields a nice size decrease for the object file.

* x86: Improve Intel microcode loader performanceDimitri Sivanich2010-03-111-6/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've noticed that on large SGI UV system configurations, running microcode.ctl can take very long periods of time. This is due to the large number of vmalloc/vfree calls made by the Intel generic_load_microcode() logic. By reusing allocated space, the following patch reduces the time to run microcode.ctl on a 1024 cpu system from approximately 80 seconds down to 1 or 2 seconds.

* x86: microcode: use smp_call_function_single instead of set_cpus_allowed, ↵Dmitry Adamushko2009-05-121-57/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cleanup of synchronization logic * Solve issues described in 6f66cbc63081fd70e3191b4dbb796746780e5ae1 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!

* | x86: fix resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110LDmitry Adamushko2008-12-201-0/+6
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix deadlock This is in response to the following bug report: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100 Subject : resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110L Submitter : Andreas Mohr <andi@lisas.de> Date : 2008-11-25 08:48 (19 days old) Handled-By : Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> [ The deadlock scenario has been discovered by Andreas Mohr ] I think I might have a logical explanation why the system: (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12100) might hang upon resuming, OTOH it should have likely hanged each and every time. (1) possible deadlock in microcode_resume_cpu() if either 'if' section is taken; (2) now, I don't see it in spec. and can't experimentally verify it (newer ucodes don't seem to be available for my Core2duo)... but logically-wise, I'd think that when read upon resuming, the 'microcode revision' (MSR 0x8B) should be back to its original one (we need to reload ucode anyway so it doesn't seem logical if a cpu doesn't drop the version)... if so, the comparison with memcmp() for the full 'struct cpu_signature' is wrong... and that's how one of the aforementioned 'if' sections might have been triggered - leading to a deadlock. Obviously, in my tests I simulated loading/resuming with the ucode of the same version (just to see that the file is loaded/re-loaded upon resuming) so this issue has never popped up. I'd appreciate if someone with an appropriate system might give a try to the 2nd patch (titled "fix a comparison && deadlock..."). In any case, the deadlock situation is a must-have fix.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* x86: major refactoringPeter Oruba2008-07-281-10/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactored code by introducing a two-module solution. There is one general module in which vendor specific modules can hook into. However, that is exclusive, there is only one vendor specific module allowed at a time. A CPU vendor check makes sure only the correct module for the underlying system gets called. Functinally in terms of patch loading itself there are no changes. This refactoring provides a basis for future implementations of other vendors' patch loaders.
