2008-12-20x86: fix resume (S2R) broken by Intel microcode module, on A110LDmitry Adamushko
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.

2008-09-23x86: moved microcode.c to microcode_intel.cDmitry Adamushko
Combine both generic and arch-specific parts of microcode into a single module (arch-specific parts are config-dependent). Also while we are at it, move arch-specific parts from microcode.h into their respective arch-specific .c files.

2008-09-12x86, microcode rework, v2Dmitry Adamushko
this is a rework of the microcode splitup in tip/x86/microcode (1) I think this new interface is cleaner (look at the changes in 'struct microcode_ops' in microcode.h); (2) it's -64 lines of code; Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-08-20x86-microcode: generic interface refactoringDmitry Adamushko
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). All in all, more line have been deleted than added. 4 files changed, 145 insertions(+), 198 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-08-20x86-microcode: fix unbalanced use of get_cpu()Dmitry Adamushko

2008-08-13Fix date output in x86 microcode driver.David Woodhouse
The microcode stores its date in a uint32_t in some weird order approximating pdp-endian. Rather than printing it like that, print it properly in ISO standard form.

2008-07-28x86: major refactoringPeter Oruba
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.

2008-07-28x86: code split to two partsPeter Oruba
Split off existing code into two seperate files. One file holds general code, the other file vendor specific parts. No functional changes, only refactoring. Temporarily Introduced a new module name 'ucode' for result, due to already taken name 'microcode'.
