From 2d5be37d686c4dae8e60d20283d6f44ac2c44f65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2015 12:24:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/microcode: Initialize the driver late when facilities are up Running microcode_init() from setup_arch() is a bad idea because not even kmalloc() is ready at that point and the loader does all kinds of allocations and init/registration with various subsystems. Make it a late initcall when required facilities are initialized so that the microcode driver initialization can succeed too.

In principle, this could confuse lockdep. It doesn't cause any problems that I've seen in any configuration, but if I build with CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP=y, enable a nohz_full CPU, and add code like: if (irqs_disabled()) { spin_lock(&something); spin_unlock(&something); } to the top of enter_from_user_mode, then lockdep will complain without this fix. It seems that lockdep's irqflags sanity checks are too weak to detect this bug without forcing the issue. This patch adds one byte to normal kernels, and it's IMO a bit ugly. I haven't spotted a better way to do this yet, though. The issue is that we can't do TRACE_IRQS_OFF until after SWAPGS (if needed), but we're also supposed to do it before calling C code. An alternative approach would be to call trace_hardirqs_off in enter_from_user_mode. That would be less code and would not bloat normal kernels at all, but it would be harder to see how the code worked.
