Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

Return UCODE_NEW from the scanning functions to denote that new microcode

The kbuild test robot reported the following warning on sparc64:
kernel/jump_label.c: In function '__jump_label_update':
kernel/jump_label.c:376:51: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
WARN_ONCE(1, "can't patch jump_label at %pS", (void *)entry->code);
On sparc64, the jump_label entry->code field is of type u32, but
pointers are 64-bit. Silence the warning by casting entry->code to an
unsigned long before casting it to a pointer. This is also what the
sparc jump label code does.
Fixes: dc1dd184c2f0 ("jump_label: Warn on failed jump_label patching attempt")

In the following commit:
9e0e3c5130e9 ("x86/speculation, objtool: Annotate indirect calls/jumps for objtool")
... we added annotations for CALL_NOSPEC/JMP_NOSPEC on 64-bit x86 kernels,
but we did not annotate the 32-bit path.
Annotate it similarly.

POPF is currently broken -- add tests to catch the error. This
results in:
[RUN] POPF with VIP set and IF clear from vm86 mode
[INFO] Exited vm86 mode due to STI
[FAIL] Incorrect return reason (started at eip = 0xd, ended at eip = 0xf)
because POPF currently fails to check IF before reporting a pending
interrupt.
This patch also makes the FAIL message a bit more informative.

Disable the kprobe probing of the entry trampoline:
.entry_trampoline is a code area that is used to ensure page table
isolation between userspace and kernelspace.
At the beginning of the execution of the trampoline, we load the
kernel's CR3 register. This has the effect of enabling the translation
of the kernel virtual addresses to physical addresses. Before this
happens most kernel addresses can not be translated because the running
process' CR3 is still used.
If a kprobe is placed on the trampoline code before that change of the
CR3 register happens the kernel crashes because int3 handling pages are
not accessible.
To fix this, add the .entry_trampoline section to the kprobe blacklist
to prohibit the probing of code before all the kernel pages are
accessible.

Original idea by Ashok, completely rewritten by Borislav.
Before you read any further: the early loading method is still the
preferred one and you should always do that. The following patch is
improving the late loading mechanism for long running jobs and cloud use
cases.
Gather all cores and serialize the microcode update on them by doing it
one-by-one to make the late update process as reliable as possible and
avoid potential issues caused by the microcode update.
[ Borislav: Rewrite completely. ]
