x86: moved microcode.c to microcode_intel.c

2008-09-23T10:21:42+00:00

Combine both generic and arch-specific parts of microcode into a
single module (arch-specific parts are config-dependent).

Also while we are at it, move arch-specific parts from microcode.h
into their respective arch-specific .c files.

x86, microcode rework, v2

2008-09-12T10:20:27+00:00

this is a rework of the microcode splitup in tip/x86/microcode

(1) I think this new interface is cleaner (look at the changes
    in 'struct microcode_ops' in microcode.h);

(2) it's -64 lines of code;

x86-microcode: generic interface refactoring

2008-08-20T10:18:57+00:00

This is the 1st patch in the series. Here the aim was to avoid any
significant changes, logically-wise.

So it's mainly about generic interface refactoring: e.g. make
microcode_{intel,amd}.c more about arch-specific details and less
about policies like make-sure-we-run-on-a-target-cpu
(no more set_cpus_allowed_ptr() here) and generic synchronization (no
more microcode_mutex here).

All in all, more line have been deleted than added.

x86: major refactoring

2008-07-28T17:57:57+00:00

Refactored code by introducing a two-module solution.

There is one general module in which vendor specific modules can hook into.
However, that is exclusive, there is only one vendor specific module
allowed at a time. A CPU vendor check makes sure only the correct
module for the underlying system gets called.

Functinally in terms of patch loading itself there are no changes. This
refactoring provides a basis for future implementations of other vendors'
patch loaders.

x86: first step of refactoring, introducing microcode_ops

2008-07-28T17:57:57+00:00

Refactoring with the goal of having one general module and separate
vendor specific modules that hook into the general one.

Microcode_ops is a function pointer structure in which vendor
specific modules will enter all functions that differ between
vendors and that need to be accessed from the general module.

x86: structure declaration renaming

2008-07-28T17:57:55+00:00

Renamed common structures to vendor specific naming scheme
so other vendors will be able to use the same naming
convention.

x86: move per CPU microcode structure declaration to header file

2008-07-28T17:57:54+00:00

This structure will be later used by other modules as well and
needs therfore to be moved out to a header file.
