[ Upstream commit 7189b3c119 ]
Currently, the late microcode loading mechanism checks whether any CPUs
are offlined, and, in such a case, aborts the load attempt.
However, this must be done before the kernel caches new microcode from
the filesystem. Otherwise, when offlined CPUs are onlined later, those
cores are going to be updated through the CPU hotplug notifier callback
with the new microcode, while CPUs previously onine will continue to run
with the older microcode.
For example:
Turn off one core (2 threads):
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
Install the ucode fails because a primary SMT thread is offline:
cp intel-ucode/06-8e-09 /lib/firmware/intel-ucode/
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
Turn the core back on
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep microcode
microcode : 0x30
microcode : 0xde
microcode : 0x30
microcode : 0xde
The rationale for why the update is aborted when at least one primary
thread is offline is because even if that thread is soft-offlined
and idle, it will still have to participate in broadcasted MCE's
synchronization dance or enter SMM, and in both examples it will execute
instructions so it better have the same microcode revision as the other
cores.

commit 1a371e67dc upstream.
Currently, scan_microcode() leverages microcode_matches() to check
if the microcode matches the CPU by comparing the family and model.
However, the processor stepping and flags of the microcode signature
should also be considered when saving a microcode patch for early
update.
Use find_matching_signature() in scan_microcode() and get rid of the
now-unused microcode_matches() which is a good cleanup in itself.
Complete the verification of the patch being saved for early loading in
save_microcode_patch() directly. This needs to be done there too because
save_mc_for_early() will call save_microcode_patch() too.
The second reason why this needs to be done is because the loader still
tries to support, at least hypothetically, mixed-steppings systems and
thus adds all patches to the cache that belong to the same CPU model
albeit with different steppings.
For example:
microcode: CPU: sig=0x906ec, pf=0x2, rev=0xd6
microcode: mc_saved[0]: sig=0x906e9, pf=0x2a, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19400, date = 2020-04-23
microcode: mc_saved[1]: sig=0x906ea, pf=0x22, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19000, date = 2020-04-27
microcode: mc_saved[2]: sig=0x906eb, pf=0x2, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19400, date = 2020-04-23
microcode: mc_saved[3]: sig=0x906ec, pf=0x22, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19000, date = 2020-04-27
microcode: mc_saved[4]: sig=0x906ed, pf=0x22, rev=0xd6, total size=0x19400, date = 2020-04-23
The patch which is being saved for early loading, however, can only be
the one which fits the CPU this runs on so do the signature verification
before saving.

commit 5423f5ce5c upstream.
A recent change moved the microcode loader hotplug callback into the early
startup phase which is running with interrupts disabled. It missed that
the callbacks invoke sysfs functions which might sleep causing nice 'might
sleep' splats with proper debugging enabled.
Split the callbacks and only load the microcode in the early startup phase
and move the sysfs handling back into the later threaded and preemptible
bringup phase where it was before.

[ Upstream commit 912139cfbf ]
The load_microcode_amd() function searches for microcode patches and
attempts to apply a microcode patch if it is of different level than the
currently installed level.
While the processor won't actually load a level that is less than
what is already installed, the logic wrongly returns UCODE_NEW thus
signaling to its caller reload_store() that a late loading should be
attempted.
If the file-system contains an older microcode revision than what is
currently running, such a late microcode reload can result in these
misleading messages:
x86/CPU: CPU features have changed after loading microcode, but might not take effect.
x86/CPU: Please consider either early loading through initrd/built-in or a potential BIOS update.
These messages were issued on a system where SME/SEV are not
enabled by the BIOS (MSR C001_0010[23] = 0b) because during boot,
early_detect_mem_encrypt() is called and cleared the SME and SEV
features in this case.
However, after the wrong late load attempt, get_cpu_cap() is called and
reloads the SME and SEV feature bits, resulting in the messages.
Update the microcode level check to not attempt microcode loading if the
current level is greater than(!) and not only equal to the current patch
level.

commit 09e182d17e upstream.
Vitezslav reported a case where the
"Timeout during microcode update!"
panic would hit. After a deeper look, it turned out that his .config had
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU disabled which practically made save_mc_for_early() a
no-op.
When that happened, the discovered microcode patch wasn't saved into the
cache and the late loading path wouldn't find any.
This, then, lead to early exit from __reload_late() and thus CPUs waiting
until the timeout is reached, leading to the panic.
In hindsight, that function should have been written so it does not return
before the post-synchronization. Oh well, I know better now...

commit bb8c13d61a upstream.
Emanuel reported an issue with a hang during microcode update because my
dumb idea to use one atomic synchronization variable for both rendezvous
- before and after update - was simply bollocks:
microcode: microcode_reload_late: late_cpus: 4
microcode: __reload_late: cpu 2 entered
microcode: __reload_late: cpu 1 entered
microcode: __reload_late: cpu 3 entered
microcode: __reload_late: cpu 0 entered
microcode: __reload_late: cpu 1 left
microcode: Timeout while waiting for CPUs rendezvous, remaining: 1
CPU1 above would finish, leave and the others will still spin waiting for
it to join.
So do two synchronization atomics instead, which makes the code a lot more
straightforward.
Also, since the update is serialized and it also takes quite some time per
microcode engine, increase the exit timeout by the number of CPUs on the
system.
That's ok because the moment all CPUs are done, that timeout will be cut
short.
Furthermore, panic when some of the CPUs timeout when returning from a
microcode update: we can't allow a system with not all cores updated.
Also, as an optimization, do not do the exit sync if microcode wasn't
updated.

Normally, when the initrd is gone, we can't search it for microcode
blobs to apply anymore. For that we need to stash away the patch in our
own storage.
And save_microcode_in_initrd_intel() looks like the proper place to
do that from. So in order for early loading to work, invalidate the
intel_ucode_patch pointer to the patch *before* scanning the initrd one
last time.
If the scanning code finds a microcode patch, it will assign that
pointer again, this time with our own storage's address.
This way, early microcode application during resume-from-RAM works too,
even after the initrd is long gone.

Early during boot, the BSP finds the ramdisk's position from boot_params
but by the time the APs get to boot, the BSP has continued in the mean
time and has potentially managed to relocate that ramdisk.
And in that case, the APs need to find the ramdisk at its new position,
in *physical* memory as they're running before paging has been enabled.
Thus, get the updated physical location of the ramdisk which is in the

During early boot, load_ucode_intel_ap() uses __load_ucode_intel()
to obtain a pointer to the relevant microcode patch (embedded in the
initrd), and stores this value in 'intel_ucode_patch' to speed up the
microcode patch application for subsequent CPUs.
On resuming from suspend-to-RAM, however, load_ucode_ap() calls
load_ucode_intel_ap() for each non-boot-CPU. By then the initramfs is
long gone so the pointer stored in 'intel_ucode_patch' no longer points to
a valid microcode patch.
Clear that pointer so that we effectively fall back to the CPU hotplug
notifier callbacks to update the microcode.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled, I get:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
caller is debug_smp_processor_id
CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.12.0-rc2+ #2
Call Trace:
dump_stack
check_preemption_disabled
debug_smp_processor_id
save_microcode_in_initrd_amd
? microcode_init
save_microcode_in_initrd
...
because, well, it says it above, we're using smp_processor_id() in
preemptible code.
But passing the CPU number is not really needed. It is only used to
determine whether we're on the BSP, and, if so, to save the microcode
patch for early loading.
[ We don't absolutely need to do it on the BSP but we do that
customarily there. ]
Instead, convert that function parameter to a boolean which denotes
whether the patch should be saved or not, thereby avoiding the use of
smp_processor_id() in preemptible code.

The equivalence ID was needed outside of the container scanning logic
but now, after this has been cleaned up, not anymore. Now, cont_desc.mc
is used to denote whether the container we're looking at has the proper
microcode patch for this CPU or not.

The idea was to not scan the microcode blob on each AP (Application
Processor) during boot and thus save us some milliseconds. However, on
architectures where the microcode engine is shared between threads, this
doesn't work. Here's why:
The microcode on CPU0, i.e., the first thread, gets updated. The second
thread, i.e., CPU1, i.e., the first AP walks into load_ucode_amd_ap(),
sees that there's no container cached and goes and scans for the proper
blob.
It finds it and as a last step of apply_microcode_early_amd(), it tries
to apply the patch but that core has already the updated microcode
revision which it has received through CPU0's update. So it returns
false and we do desc->size = -1 to prevent other APs from scanning.
However, the next AP, CPU2, has a different microcode engine which
hasn't been updated yet. The desc->size == -1 test prevents it from
scanning the blob anew and we fail to update it.
The fix is much more straight-forward than it looks: the BSP
(BootStrapping Processor), i.e., CPU0, caches the microcode patch
in amd_ucode_patch. We use that on the AP and try to apply it.
In the 99.9999% of cases where we have homogeneous cores - *not*
mixed-steppings - the application will be successful and we're good to
go.
In the remaining small set of systems, we will simply rescan the blob
and find (or not, if none present) the proper patch and apply it then.
