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.

Currently, the code scanning the CPU equivalence table read from a
microcode container file assumes that it actually contains a terminating
zero entry.
Check also the size of this table to make sure that no reads past its
end happen, in case there's no terminating zero entry at the end of the
table.

Add a verify_patch() function which tries to sanity-check many aspects
of a microcode patch supplied by an outside container before attempting
a load.
Prepend all sub-functions' names which verify an aspect of a microcode
patch with "__".
Call it in verify_and_add_patch() *before* looking at the microcode
header.

Rename the variable which contains the patch size read out from the
section header to sh_psize for better differentiation of all the "sizes"
in that function.
Also, improve the comment above it.

Add container and patch verification functions to the AMD microcode
update driver.
These functions check whether a passed buffer contains the relevant
structure, whether it isn't truncated and (for actual microcode patches)
whether the size of a patch is not too large for a particular CPU family.
By adding these checks as separate functions the actual microcode loading
code won't get interspersed with a lot of checks and so will be more
readable.

verify_patch_size() verifies whether the remaining size of the microcode
container file is large enough to contain a patch of the indicated size.
However, the section header length is not included in this indicated
size but it is present in the leftover file length so it should be
subtracted from the leftover file length before passing this value to
verify_patch_size().

When preparing an MCE record for logging, boot_cpu_data.microcode is used
to read out the microcode revision on the box.
However, on systems where late microcode update has happened, the microcode
revision output in a MCE log record is wrong because
boot_cpu_data.microcode is not updated when the microcode gets updated.
But, the microcode revision saved in boot_cpu_data's microcode member
should be kept up-to-date, regardless, for consistency.
Make it so.

The file Documentation/x86/early-microcode.txt was renamed to
Documentation/x86/microcode.txt in 0e3258753f, but it was still
referenced by its old name in a three places:
* Documentation/x86/00-INDEX
* arch/x86/Kconfig
* arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c
This commit updates these references accordingly.
