[PATCH v3 0/5] Making microcode late-load robust

[Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>]

Hi Boris

I thought v2 worked, but there were some glaring errors in them.
I added more trace and this did go through and finish. More testing would
help.

Let me know how you want to handle 1-3. patch4,5 needs more review and some
help testing on AMD as well.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220816043754.3258815-1-ashok.raj@intel.com/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220813223825.3164861-1-ashok.raj@intel.com/

Patches: 1-3
   No Changes since v1

Patch4:
   x2apic doesn't handle NMI vector via the self IPI MSR, it can only
   send Fixed mode interrupts. Enhance send_IPI_self() to comprehend
   and use a function that will deliver to the NMI.

Patch5: 
   - Modified when the NMI was triggered. Moved it closer to when
     __reload_late() is running.
   - Used the new apic->send_IPI_self() support helper.
   - Added an atomic to check if the primary has completed the load.
   - Triggering the NMI and when its taken determines how long the primary
     CPU needs to wait. For Now i have no timeout, but will check on couple
     more platforms before coming with a number, so it can bail out if
     secondaries don't show up in a reasonable amount of time.

Ashok Raj (5):
  x86/microcode/intel: Check against CPU signature before saving
    microcode
  x86/microcode/intel: Allow a late-load only if a min rev is specified
  x86/microcode: Avoid any chance of MCE's during microcode update
  x86/x2apic: Support x2apic self IPI with NMI_VECTOR
  x86/microcode: Place siblings in NMI loop while update in progress
