After some investigation, it turned out that a merge was done using the
wrong side to resolve, leading to picking up the previous state, before
the 24c2503255 fix. Therefore the Fixes tag below contains a merge
commit.
Revert the mismerge by catching the save_microcode_in_initrd_amd()
retval and thus letting the function exit with the last return statement
so that initrd_gone can be set to true.

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.

Pull x86 PTI preparatory patches from Thomas Gleixner:
"Todays Advent calendar window contains twentyfour easy to digest
patches. The original plan was to have twenty three matching the date,
but a late fixup made that moot.
- Move the cpu_entry_area mapping out of the fixmap into a separate
address space. That's necessary because the fixmap becomes too big
with NRCPUS=8192 and this caused already subtle and hard to
diagnose failures.
The top most patch is fresh from today and cures a brain slip of
that tall grumpy german greybeard, who ignored the intricacies of
32bit wraparounds.
- Limit the number of CPUs on 32bit to 64. That's insane big already,
but at least it's small enough to prevent address space issues with
the cpu_entry_area map, which have been observed and debugged with
the fixmap code
- A few TLB flush fixes in various places plus documentation which of
the TLB functions should be used for what.
- Rename the SYSENTER stack to CPU_ENTRY_AREA stack as it is used for
more than sysenter now and keeping the name makes backtraces
confusing.
- Prevent LDT inheritance on exec() by moving it to arch_dup_mmap(),
which is only invoked on fork().
- Make vysycall more robust.
- A few fixes and cleanups of the debug_pagetables code. Check
PAGE_PRESENT instead of checking the PTE for 0 and a cleanup of the
C89 initialization of the address hint array which already was out
of sync with the index enums.
- Move the ESPFIX init to a different place to prepare for PTI.
- Several code moves with no functional change to make PTI
integration simpler and header files less convoluted.
- Documentation fixes and clarifications"

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.

Early during boot, the BSP finds the ramdisk's position from boot_params
but by the time the APs get to boot, the BSP has continued in the mean
time and has potentially managed to relocate that ramdisk.
And in that case, the APs need to find the ramdisk at its new position,
in *physical* memory as they're running before paging has been enabled.
Thus, get the updated physical location of the ramdisk which is in the
relocated_ramdisk variable.

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.

The idea was to not scan the microcode blob on each AP (Application
Processor) during boot and thus save us some milliseconds. However, on
architectures where the microcode engine is shared between threads, this
doesn't work. Here's why:
The microcode on CPU0, i.e., the first thread, gets updated. The second
thread, i.e., CPU1, i.e., the first AP walks into load_ucode_amd_ap(),
sees that there's no container cached and goes and scans for the proper
blob.
It finds it and as a last step of apply_microcode_early_amd(), it tries
to apply the patch but that core has already the updated microcode
revision which it has received through CPU0's update. So it returns
false and we do desc->size = -1 to prevent other APs from scanning.
However, the next AP, CPU2, has a different microcode engine which
hasn't been updated yet. The desc->size == -1 test prevents it from
scanning the blob anew and we fail to update it.
The fix is much more straight-forward than it looks: the BSP
(BootStrapping Processor), i.e., CPU0, caches the microcode patch
in amd_ucode_patch. We use that on the AP and try to apply it.
In the 99.9999% of cases where we have homogeneous cores - *not*
mixed-steppings - the application will be successful and we're good to
go.
In the remaining small set of systems, we will simply rescan the blob
and find (or not, if none present) the proper patch and apply it then.

It was pretty clumsy before and the whole work of parsing the microcode
containers was spread around the functions wrongly.
Clean it up so that there's a main scan_containers() function which
iterates over the microcode blob and picks apart the containers glued
together. For each container, it calls a parse_container() helper which
concentrates on one container only: sanity-checking, parsing, counting
microcode patches in there, etc.
It makes much more sense now and it is actually very readable. Oh, and
we luvz a diffstat removing more crap than adding.

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.

Doing so is completely void of sense for multiple reasons so prevent
it. Set dis_ucode_ldr to true and thus disable the microcode loader by
default to address xen pv guests which execute the AP path but not the
BSP path.
By having it turned off by default, the APs won't run into the loader
either.
Also, check CPUID(1).ECX[31] which hypervisors set. Well almost, not the
xen pv one. That one gets the aforementioned "fix".
Also, improve the detection method by caching the final decision whether
to continue loading in dis_ucode_ldr and do it once on the BSP. The APs
then simply test that value.

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.
