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.

In the amd_threshold_interrupt() handler, we loop through every possible
block in each bank and rediscover the block's address and if it's valid,
e.g. valid, counter present and not locked.
However, we already have the address saved in the threshold blocks list
for each CPU and bank. The list only contains blocks that have passed
all the valid checks.
Besides the redundancy, there's also a smp_call_function* in
get_block_address() which causes a warning when servicing the interrupt:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/smp.c:281 smp_call_function_single+0xdd/0xf0
...
Call Trace:
<IRQ>
rdmsr_safe_on_cpu()
get_block_address.isra.2()
amd_threshold_interrupt()
smp_threshold_interrupt()
threshold_interrupt()
because we do get called in an interrupt handler *with* interrupts
disabled, which can result in a deadlock.
Drop the redundant valid checks and move the overflow check, logging and
block reset into a separate function.
Check the first block then iterate over the rest. This procedure is
needed since the first block is used as the head of the list.

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.

A SoC variant of Geode GX1, notably NSC branded SC1100, seems to
report an inverted Device ID in its DIR0 configuration register,
specifically 0xb instead of the expected 0x4.
Catch this presumably quirky version so it's properly recognized
as GX1 and has its cache switched to write-back mode, which provides
a significant performance boost in most workloads.
SC1100's datasheet "Geode™ SC1100 Information Appliance On a Chip",
states in section 1.1.7.1 "Device ID" that device identification
values are specified in SC1100's device errata. These, however,
seem to not have been publicly released.
Wading through a number of boot logs and /proc/cpuinfo dumps found on
pastebin and blogs, this patch should mostly be relevant for a number
of now admittedly aging Soekris NET4801 and PC Engines WRAP devices,
the latter being the platform this issue was discovered on.
Performance impact was verified using "openssl speed", with
write-back caching scaling throughput between -3% and +41%.

because, well, it says it above, we're using smp_processor_id() in
preemptible code.
But passing the CPU number is not really needed. It is only used to
determine whether we're on the BSP, and, if so, to save the microcode
patch for early loading.
[ We don't absolutely need to do it on the BSP but we do that
customarily there. ]
Instead, convert that function parameter to a boolean which denotes
whether the patch should be saved or not, thereby avoiding the use of
smp_processor_id() in preemptible code.

We have support for the new SMCA MCA_DE{STAT,ADDR} registers in Linux.
So we've used these registers in place of MCA_{STATUS,ADDR} on SMCA
systems.
However, the guidance for current SMCA implementations of is to continue
using MCA_{STATUS,ADDR} and to use MCA_DE{STAT,ADDR} only if a Deferred
error was not found in the former registers. If we logged a Deferred
error in MCA_STATUS then we should also clear MCA_DESTAT. This also
means we shouldn't clear MCA_CONFIG[LogDeferredInMcaStat].
Rework __log_error() to only log an error and add helpers for the
different error types being logged from the corresponding interrupt
handlers.
Boris: carve out common functionality into a _log_error_bank(). Cleanup
comments, check MCi_STATUS bits before reading MSRs. Streamline flow.

Export the function which checks whether an MCE is a memory error to

This bug/feature bit is kind of special as it will be used very early
when switching threads. Setting the bit and clearing it a little bit
later leaves a critical window where things can go wrong. This time
window has enlarged a little bit by using setup_clear_cpu_cap() instead
of the hypervisor's set_cpu_features callback. It seems this larger
window now makes it rather easy to hit the problem.
The proper solution is to never set the bit in case of Xen.

mce_usable_address() does a bunch of basic sanity checks to verify
whether the address reported with the error is usable for further
processing. However, we do check MCi_STATUS[MISCV] and that is not
needed on AMD as that bit says that there's additional information about
the logged error in the MCi_MISCj banks.
But we don't need that to know whether the address is usable - we only
need to know whether the physical address is valid - i.e., ADDRV.
On Intel the MISCV bit is needed to perform additional checks to determine
whether the reported address is a physical one, etc.

atomic, we get a lockdep splat like:

Convert the notifier to a blocking one which gets to run only in process

now, let's print the MCE on the atomic path so that we can make sure
they go out and get logged at least.
