[PATCH] x86/cpu/amd: Correct the microcode table for Zenbleed
Posted by Andrew Cooper 5 days, 10 hours ago
The good revisions are tied to exact steppings, meaning it's not valid to
match on model number alone, let alone a range.

This is probably only a latent issue.  From public microcode archives, the
followin CPUs exist 17-30-00, 17-60-00, 17-70-00 and would be captured by the
model ranges.  They're likely pre-production steppings, and likely didn't get
Zenbleed microcode, but it's still incorrect to compare them to a different
stepping's revision.

Either way, convert the logic to use x86_match_min_microcode_rev(), which is
the preferred mechanism.

Sorry, this needs a {} terminator to be correct.  I'll send out a v2 in
a bit, assuming there are no other comments.

I'm just glad that I'm not the only one to fall for this no-terminator shit.

:-P

In any case, makes sense. It'll have to wait for after the merge window along
with your other patch.

Thx.

Could you add an #define wrapper, eg

#define x86_match_min_microcode_rev(table) \
	x86_match_min_microcode_rev(table, ARRAY_COUNT(table))

to pass the count into the function?
Then the terminator can be made optional.

The data will be smaller, the code slightly larger.
So a net size gain since the performance can't be critical.

There's no rush.  I'm fixing Xen, and at least ensuring that I have sent
a patch in Linux's direction.

[PATCH v2] x86/cpu/amd: Correct the microcode table for Zenbleed
Posted by Andrew Cooper 5 days, 9 hours ago
The good revisions are tied to exact steppings, meaning it's not valid to
match on model number alone, let alone a range.

This is probably only a latent issue.  From public microcode archives, the
following CPUs exist 17-30-00, 17-60-00, 17-70-00 and would be captured by the
model ranges.  They're likely pre-production steppings, and likely didn't get
Zenbleed microcode, but it's still incorrect to compare them to a different
steppings revision.

Either way, convert the logic to use x86_match_min_microcode_rev(), which is
the preferred mechanism.
