This is the rewrite of microcode update driver. Changes:
1. trim the code
2. using request_firmware to pull ucode from userspace, so we don't need
the application 'microcode_ctl' to assist. We name each ucode file
according to CPU's info as intel-ucode/family-model-stepping. In this
way we could split ucode file as small one. This has a lot of advantages
such as selectively update and validate microcode for specific models,
better manage microcode file, easily write tools for administerators and
so on.
3. add sysfs support. Currently each CPU has two microcode related
attributes. One is 'version' which shows current ucode version of CPU.
Tools can use the attribute do validation or show CPU ucode status. The
other is 'reload' which allows manually reloading ucode. 
4. add suspend/resume and CPU hotplug support. 

With the changes, we should put all intel-ucode/xx-xx-xx microcode files
into the firmware dir (I had a tool to split previous big data file into
small one and later we will release new style data file). The init
script should be changed to just loading the driver without unloading
for hotplug and suspend/resume (for back compatibility I keep old
interface, so old init script also works).

Previous post is at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114852925121064&w=2
Changes against previous patch:
1. use sys_create_group to add attributes
2. add a fake platform_device for reqeust_firmware as Greg disliked the
request_firmware_kobj interface previous patch introduced
3. add a new attribute 'pf' to help tools check if CPU has latest ucode

Why not break this up into 4 patches so we can better review them?

Remember, one patch per change please :)

What does "pf" stand for?

Ok, I split it to three patches (3 & 4 could be in one patch)

processor flags. I changed it to processor_flags in next path.

[PATCH 1/3] trim microcode driver to make it clean. Old interface is
kept.

[PATCH 2/3] using request_firmware to load microcode

using request_firmware to pull ucode from userspace, so we don't need
the application 'microcode_ctl' to assist. We name each ucode file
according to CPU's info as intel-ucode/family-model-stepping. In this
way we could split ucode file as small one. This has a lot of advantages
such as selectively update and validate microcode for specific models,
better manage microcode file, easily write tools for administerators and
so on.
with the changes, we should put all intel-ucode/xx-xx-xx microcode files
into the firmware dir (I had a tool to split previous big data file into
small one and later we will release new style data file). The init
script should be changed to just loading the driver without unloading

[PATCH 3/3] suspend/resume & hotplug support for microcode driver

add sysfs support. Currently each CPU has three microcode related
attributes. One is 'version' which shows current ucode version of CPU.
Tools can use the attribute do validation or show CPU ucode status. one
is 'reload' which allows manually reloading ucode. Another is
'processor_flags', which exports processor flags, so we can write tools
to check if CPU has latest ucode. Also add suspend/resume and CPU
hotplug support.

Andrew, this one can be applied in latest -mm. Other two patches can
still apply.
Jan, I saw you added some printk in microcode.c recently. I removed it
as we could export CPU's microcode version in sysfs. If you really
needed it I can added it.

[PATCH 1/3] trim microcode driver to make it clean. Old interface is 
kept.

I'm not having a problem removing the messages if the current state can be obtained
elsewhere.

Looking at the patch I see at least one problem (in more than one place) - before
accessing data, you should check that the relevant piece to be read is entirely within
range. You should not (as done at least once) rely on copy_from_user() failing - the
data may be readable, but out of bounds wrt. the information in the headers (or the
header sizes themselves).

Can you please give me more details? I had a lot of checks there if the
size is incorrect.

Thanks,

Ah, yes, I missed the sanity checking function. That seems to take care of what I thought
was missing elsewhere.

BTW, where this tool can be found? At the moment we seem to have
only microcode_ctl, and microcode.dat from it distribution is not understood
by the driver.

I counted five of these "generic" error messages.  I know the original
driver had this problem too because I hit it and couldn't tell where
the message came from.

Could you change these messages so they're unique and they describe the
actual problem better?  E.g. "data too large for user buffer" etc.?
