Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] x86/microcode/core: Take a snapshot before and after applying microcode
Date:   Tue, 27 Dec 2022 13:01:44 -0800
Message-Id: <20221227210144.5112-2-ashok.raj@intel.com>

The kernel caches features about each CPU's features at boot in an
x86_capability[] structure. The microcode update takes one snapshot and
compares it with the saved copy at boot.

However, the capabilities in the boot copy can be turned off as a result of
certain command line parameters or configuration restrictions. This can
cause a mismatch when comparing the values before and after the microcode
update.

microcode_check() is called after an update to report any previously
cached CPUID bits might have changed due to the update.

microcode_store_cpu_caps() basically stores the original CPU reported
values and not the OS modified values. This will avoid giving a false
warning even if no capabilities have changed.

Ignore the capabilities recorded at boot. Take a new snapshot before the
update and compare with a snapshot after the update to eliminate the false
warning.

Fixes: 1008c52c09dc ("x86/CPU: Add a microcode loader callback")

Changes since last post

- Boris
	- Change function from copy_cpu_caps() -> store_cpu_caps()
	- Keep microcode_check() inside cpu/common.c and not bleed
	  get_cpu_caps() outside of core code.

- Thomas : Commit log changes.
