Commit b94b737331 ("x86/microcode/intel: Extend BDW late-loading with a
revision check") reduced the impact of erratum BDF90 for Broadwell model
79.
The impact can be reduced further by checking the size of the last level
cache portion per core.
Tony: "The erratum says the problem only occurs on the large-cache SKUs.
So we only need to avoid the update if we are on a big cache SKU that is
also running old microcode."
For more details, see erratum BDF90 in document #334165 (Intel Xeon
Processor E7-8800/4800 v4 Product Family Specification Update) from
September 2017.

Instead of blacklisting all model 79 CPUs when attempting a late
microcode loading, limit that only to CPUs with microcode revisions <
0x0b000021 because only on those late loading may cause a system hang.
For such processors either:
a) a BIOS update which might contain a newer microcode revision
or
b) the early microcode loading method
should be considered.
Processors with revisions 0x0b000021 or higher will not experience such
hangs.

Avoid potentially dereferencing a NULL pointer when saving a microcode
patch for early loading on the application processors.
While at it, drop the IS_ERR() checking in favor of simpler, NULL-ptr
checks which are sufficient and rename __alloc_microcode_buf() to
memdup_patch() to more precisely denote what it does.
No functionality change.

The helper function __load_ucode_amd() and pointer intel_ucode_patch do
not need to be in global scope, so make them static.
Fixes those sparse warnings:
"symbol '__load_ucode_amd' was not declared. Should it be static?"
"symbol 'intel_ucode_patch' was not declared. Should it be static?"

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.

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.

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.

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
c198b121b1 ("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.

Yeah, I know, I know, this is a huuge patch and reviewing it is hard.
Sorry but this is the only way I could think of in which I can rewrite
the microcode patches loading procedure without breaking (knowingly) the
driver.
So maybe this patch is easier to review if one looks at the files after
the patch has been applied instead at the diff. Because then it becomes
pretty obvious:
* The BSP-loading path - load_ucode_bsp() is working independently from
the AP path now and it doesn't save any pointers or patches anymore -
it solely parses the builtin or initrd microcode and applies the patch.
That's it.
This fixes the CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY offset fun more solidly.
* The AP-loading path - load_ucode_ap() then goes and scans
builtin/initrd *again* for the microcode patches but it caches them this
time so that we don't have to do that scan on each AP but only once.
This simplifies the code considerably.
Then, when we save the microcode from the initrd/builtin, we go and
add the relevant patches to our own cache. The AMD side did do that
and now the Intel side does it too. So no more pointer copying and
blabla, we save the microcode patches ourselves and are independent from
initrd/builtin.
This whole conversion gives us other benefits like unifying the
initrd parsing into a single function: find_microcode_in_initrd() is
used by both.
