From ce51b34186b6eb7356c1bab752dcaccc66d96ab2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Rudolph Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2021 09:21:58 +0100 Subject: cpu/x86/mpinit: Serialize microcode updates for HT threads This change affects Intel CPUs only. As most platforms are doing uCode update using FIT, they aren't affected by this code either. Update microcode in MP-init using a single spinlock when running on a Hyper-Threading enabled CPU on pre FIT platforms. This will slow down the MP-init boot flow. Intel SDM and various BWGs specify to use a semaphore to update microcode on one thread per core on Hyper-Threading enabled CPUs. Due to this complex code would be necessary to determine the core #ID, initializing and picking the right semaphore out of CONFIG_MAX_CPUS / 2. Instead use the existing global spinlock already present in MPinit code. Assuming that only pre-FIT platforms with Hyper-Threading enabled and at most 8 threads will ever run into this condition, the boot delay is negligible. This change is a counterproposal to the previous published patch series being much more unsophisticated.
