Emanuel reported an issue with a hang during microcode update because my dumb idea to use one atomic synchronization variable for both rendezvous - before and after update - was simply bollocks: microcode: microcode_reload_late: late_cpus: 4 microcode: __reload_late: cpu 2 entered microcode: __reload_late: cpu 1 entered microcode: __reload_late: cpu 3 entered microcode: __reload_late: cpu 0 entered microcode: __reload_late: cpu 1 left microcode: Timeout while waiting for CPUs rendezvous, remaining: 1 CPU1 above would finish, leave and the others will still spin waiting for it to join. So do two synchronization atomics instead, which makes the code a lot more straightforward. Also, since the update is serialized and it also takes quite some time per microcode engine, increase the exit timeout by the number of CPUs on the system. That's ok because the moment all CPUs are done, that timeout will be cut short. Furthermore, panic when some of the CPUs timeout when returning from a microcode update: we can't allow a system with not all cores updated. Also, as an optimization, do not do the exit sync if microcode wasn't updated.

Original idea by Ashok, completely rewritten by Borislav. Before you read any further: the early loading method is still the preferred one and you should always do that. The following patch is improving the late loading mechanism for long running jobs and cloud use cases. Gather all cores and serialize the microcode update on them by doing it one-by-one to make the late update process as reliable as possible and avoid potential issues caused by the microcode update.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable(a)vger.kernel.org> know about it. >From cfb52a5a09c8ae3a1dafb44ce549fde5b69e8117 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov <bp(a)suse.de> Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2018 11:28:45 +0100 Subject: x86/microcode: Request microcode on the BSP From: Borislav Petkov <bp(a)suse.de> commit cfb52a5a09c8ae3a1dafb44ce549fde5b69e8117 upstream. ... so that any newer version can land in the cache and can later be fished out by the application functions. Do that before grabbing the hotplug lock.
