Subject: [PATCH V3 0/2] x86/microcode/amd: early loading fixes
Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2013 21:22:18 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1370658140-5299-1-git-send-email-jacob.shin@amd.com> (raw)
This patchset addreses two problems with early loading on AMD.
First, feedback from Yinghai that find_ucode_in_initrd() should be
marked __init:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/4/695
And second, feedback from Henrique that Intel early loading supports
multiple microcode firmware concatenated together, whereas the current
AMD implementation lacks this support:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/31/4
V3:
* style fix -- reduce multiple if statements into a single one
V2:
* test for !initrd_start before using it
* use __pa() instead of __pa_nodebug() on AP load
* fixed calculation of start offset and size of the microcode container file
Jacob Shin (2):
x86/microcode/amd: make find_ucode_in_initrd() __init
x86/microcode/amd: allow multiple families' bin files appended
together
