function and make it return a boolean indicating whether data was found
or not.

Pull x86 microcode loader update from Borislav Petkov:
- Remove the unconditional cache writeback and invalidation after

microcode bug for which there is a concrete microcode revision check

x86/microcode/intel: Remove unnecessary cache writeback and invalidation
Currently, an unconditional cache flush is performed during every
microcode update. Although the original changelog did not mention
a specific erratum, this measure was primarily intended to address
a specific microcode bug, the load of which has already been blocked by
is_blacklisted(). Therefore, this cache flush is no longer necessary.
Additionally, the side effects of doing this have been overlooked. It
increases CPU rendezvous time during late loading, where the cache flush
takes between 1x to 3.5x longer than the actual microcode update.
Remove native_wbinvd() and update the erratum name to align with the
latest errata documentation, document ID 334163 Version 022US.

This function should've been split a long time ago because it is used in
two paths:
1) On the late loading path, when the microcode is loaded through the
request_firmware interface
2) In the save_microcode_in_initrd() path which collects all the
microcode patches which are relevant for the current system before
the initrd with the microcode container has been jettisoned.
In that path, it is not really necessary to iterate over the nodes on
a system and match a patch however it didn't cause any trouble so it
was left for a later cleanup
However, that later cleanup was expedited by the fact that Jens was
enabling "Use L3 as a NUMA node" in the BIOS setting in his machine and
so this causes the NUMA CPU masks used in cpumask_of_node() to be
generated *after* 2) above happened on the first node. Which means, all
those masks were funky, wrong, uninitialized and whatnot, leading to
explosions when dereffing c->microcode in load_microcode_amd().
So split that function and do only the necessary work needed at each
stage.

Commit in Fixes changed how a microcode patch is loaded on Zen and newer but
the patch matching needs to happen with different rigidity, depending on what
is being done:
1) When the patch is added to the patches cache, the stepping must be ignored
because the driver still supports different steppings per system
2) When the patch is matched for loading, then the stepping must be taken into
account because each CPU needs the patch matching its exact stepping
Take care of that by making the matching smarter.

On Zen and newer, the family, model and stepping is part of the
microcode patch ID so that the equivalence table the driver has been
using, is not needed anymore.
So switch the driver to use that from now on.
The equivalence table in the microcode blob should still remain in case
there's need to pass some additional information to the kernel loader.

Pull x86 microcode loader updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Fix a clang-15 build warning and other cleanups
* tag 'x86_microcode_for_v6.10_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/microcode: Remove unused struct cpu_info_ctx
x86/microcode/AMD: Remove unused PATCH_MAX_SIZE macro
x86/microcode/AMD: Avoid -Wformat warning with clang-15
Older versions of clang show a warning for amd.c after a fix for a gcc
warning:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/amd.c:478:47: error: format specifies type \
'unsigned char' but the argument has type 'u16' (aka 'unsigned short') [-Werror,-Wformat]
"amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam%02hhxh.bin", family);
~~~~~~ ^~~~~~
%02hx
In clang-16 and higher, this warning is disabled by default, but clang-15 is
still supported, and it's trivial to avoid by adapting the types according
to the range of the passed data and the format string.

The AMD side of the loader issues the microcode revision for each
logical thread on the system, which can become really noisy on huge
machines. And doing that doesn't make a whole lot of sense - the
microcode revision is already in /proc/cpuinfo.
So in case one is interested in the theoretical support of mixed silicon
steppings on AMD, one can check there.
What is also missing on the AMD side - something which people have
requested before - is showing the microcode revision the CPU had
*before* the early update.
So abstract that up in the main code and have the BSP on each vendor
provide those revision numbers.
Then, dump them only once on driver init.
On Intel, do not dump the patch date - it is not needed.

First of all, the print is useless. The driver will either load and say
which microcode revision the machine has or issue an error.
Then, the version number is meaningless and actively confusing, as Yazen
mentioned recently: when a subset of patches are backported to a distro
kernel, one can't assume the driver version is the same as the upstream
one. And besides, the version number of the loader hasn't been used and
incremented for a long time. So drop it.
