Move the x86 documentation under Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning
up the top-level directory and making the structure of our docs more
closely match the structure of the source directories it describes.
All in-kernel references to the old paths have been updated.

The AMD side of the loader has always claimed to support mixed
steppings. But somewhere along the way, it broke that by assuming that
the cached patch blob is a single one instead of it being one per
*node*.
So turn it into a per-node one so that each node can stash the blob
relevant for it.
[ NB: Fixes tag is not really the exactly correct one but it is good
enough. ]

It can happen that - especially during testing - the microcode
blobs of all families are all glued together in the initrd. The
current code doesn't check whether the current container matched
a microcode patch and continues to the next one, which leads to
save_microcode_in_initrd_amd() to look at the next and thus wrong one:
microcode: parse_container: ucode: 0xffff88807e9d9082
microcode: verify_patch: buf: 0xffff88807e9d90ce, buf_size: 26428
microcode: verify_patch: proc_id: 0x8082, patch_fam: 0x17, this family: 0x17
microcode: verify_patch: buf: 0xffff88807e9d9d56, buf_size: 23220
microcode: verify_patch: proc_id: 0x8012, patch_fam: 0x17, this family: 0x17
microcode: parse_container: MATCH: eq_id: 0x8012, patch proc_rev_id: 0x8012
<-- matching patch found
microcode: verify_patch: buf: 0xffff88807e9da9de, buf_size: 20012
microcode: verify_patch: proc_id: 0x8310, patch_fam: 0x17, this family: 0x17
microcode: verify_patch: buf: 0xffff88807e9db666, buf_size: 16804
microcode: Invalid type field (0x414d44) in container file section header.
microcode: Patch section fail
<-- checking chokes on the microcode magic value of the next container.
microcode: parse_container: saving container 0xffff88807e9d9082
microcode: save_microcode_in_initrd_amd: scanned containers, data: 0xffff88807e9d9082, size: 9700a
and now if there's a next (and last container) it'll use that in
save_microcode_in_initrd_amd() and not find a proper patch, ofc.
Fix that by moving the out: label up, before the desc->mc check which
jots down the pointer of the matching patch and is used to signal to the
caller that it has found a matching patch in the current container.

Currently, the patch application logic checks whether the revision
needs to be applied on each logical CPU (SMT thread). Therefore, on SMT
designs where the microcode engine is shared between the two threads,
the application happens only on one of them as that is enough to update
the shared microcode engine.
However, there are microcode patches which do per-thread modification,
see Link tag below.
Therefore, drop the revision check and try applying on each thread. This
is what the BIOS does too so this method is very much tested.
Btw, change only the early paths. On the late loading paths, there's no
point in doing per-thread modification because if is it some case like
in the bugzilla below - removing a CPUID flag - the kernel cannot go and
un-use features it has detected are there early. For that, one should
use early loading anyway.

In preparation for reducing the use of ksize(), record the actual
allocation size for later memcpy(). This avoids copying extra
(uninitialized!) bytes into the patch buffer when the requested
allocation size isn't exactly the size of a kmalloc bucket.
Additionally, fix potential future issues where runtime bounds checking
will notice that the buffer was allocated to a smaller value than
returned by ksize().

The load_microcode_amd() function searches for microcode patches and
attempts to apply a microcode patch if it is of different level than the
currently installed level.
While the processor won't actually load a level that is less than
what is already installed, the logic wrongly returns UCODE_NEW thus
signaling to its caller reload_store() that a late loading should be
attempted.
If the file-system contains an older microcode revision than what is
currently running, such a late microcode reload can result in these
misleading messages:
x86/CPU: CPU features have changed after loading microcode, but might not take effect.
x86/CPU: Please consider either early loading through initrd/built-in or a potential BIOS update.
These messages were issued on a system where SME/SEV are not
enabled by the BIOS (MSR C001_0010[23] = 0b) because during boot,
early_detect_mem_encrypt() is called and cleared the SME and SEV
features in this case.
However, after the wrong late load attempt, get_cpu_cap() is called and
reloads the SME and SEV feature bits, resulting in the messages.
Update the microcode level check to not attempt microcode loading if the
current level is greater than(!) and not only equal to the current patch
level.

Add container and patch verification functions to the AMD microcode
update driver.
These functions check whether a passed buffer contains the relevant
structure, whether it isn't truncated and (for actual microcode patches)
whether the size of a patch is not too large for a particular CPU family.
By adding these checks as separate functions the actual microcode loading
code won't get interspersed with a lot of checks and so will be more
readable.

However, on systems where late microcode update has happened, the microcode

boot_cpu_data.microcode is not updated when the microcode gets updated.
But, the microcode revision saved in boot_cpu_data's microcode member

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.

The equivalence ID was needed outside of the container scanning logic
but now, after this has been cleaned up, not anymore. Now, cont_desc.mc
is used to denote whether the container we're looking at has the proper
microcode patch for this CPU or not.

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.

No need to use the previously stashed info in the container - simply go
ahead and parse the initrd once more. It simplifies and streamlines the
code a whole lot.

Use a version for both bitness by adding a helper which does the actual
container finding and parsing which can be used on any CPU - BSP or AP.
Streamlines the paths more.

Check final patch levels for AMD only on the BSP. This way, we decide
early and only once whether to continue loading or to leave the loader
disabled on such systems.
Simplify a lot.
