commit 0399f73299f1b7e04de329050f7111b362b7eeb5 upstream.
A certain number of patch levels of applied microcode should not
be overwritten by the microcode loader, otherwise bad things
will happen.
Check those and abort update if the current core has one of
those final patch levels applied by the BIOS. 32-bit needs
special handling, of course.
See https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=913996 for more
info.

commit 2eff73c0a11f19ff082a566e3429fbaaca7b8e7b upstream.
Pave the way for checking the current patch level of the
microcode in a core. We want to be able to do stuff depending on
the patch level - in this case decide whether to update or not.
But that will be added in a later patch.
Drop unused local var uci assignment, while at it.
Integrate a fix for 32-bit and CONFIG_PARAVIRT from Takashi Iwai:
Use native_rdmsr() in check_current_patch_level() because with
CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled and on 32-bit, where we run before
paging has been enabled, we cannot deref pv_info yet. Or we
could, but we'd need to access its physical address. This way of
fixing it is simpler. See:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=943179 for the background.

get_ucode_data is a memcpy() wrapper which always returns 0. Move it
into the header and make it an inline. Remove all code checking its
return value and turn it into a void.
There should be no functionality change resulting from this patch.

Commit d1c84f79a6ba992dc01e312c44a21496303874d6
leads to a regression when microcode_amd.c is compiled into the kernel.
It causes a big boot delay because the firmware is not available.
See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126267290920060
It also renders the reload sysfs attribute useless.
Fixing this is too intrusive for an -rc5 kernel.
Thus I'd like to restore the microcode loading behaviour of kernel
2.6.32.

This also implies that corresponding log messages, e.g.
platform microcode: firmware: requesting amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
show up only once on module load and not when ucode is updated
for each CPU.

cleanup of synchronization logic
* Solve issues described in 6f66cbc63081fd70e3191b4dbb796746780e5ae1
in a way that doesn't resort to set_cpus_allowed();
* in fact, only collect_cpu_info and apply_microcode callbacks
must run on a target cpu, others will do just fine on any other.
smp_call_function_single() (as suggested by Ingo) is used to run
these callbacks on a target cpu.
* cleanup of synchronization logic of the 'microcode_core' part
The generic 'microcode_core' part guarantees that only a single cpu
(be it a full-fledged cpu, one of the cores or HT)
is being updated at any particular moment of time.
In general, there is no need for any additional sync. mechanism in
arch-specific parts (the patch removes existing spinlocks).
See also the "Synchronization" section in microcode_core.c.
* return -EINVAL instead of -1 (which is translated into -EPERM) in
microcode_write(), reload_cpu() and mc_sysdev_add(). Other suggestions
for an error code?
* use 'enum ucode_state' as return value of request_microcode_{fw, user}
to gain more flexibility by distinguishing between real error cases
and situations when an appropriate ucode was not found (which is not an
error per-se).
* some minor cleanups
Thanks a lot to Hugh Dickins for review/suggestions/testing!

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
