Subject: [PATCH 7/8] x86, microcode, intel: forbid some incorrect metadata
Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2014 17:10:50 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1406146251-8540-8-git-send-email-hmh@hmh.eng.br> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1406146251-8540-1-git-send-email-hmh@hmh.eng.br>
Ensure that both the microcode data_size and total_size fields are a
multiple of the dword size (4 bytes). The Intel SDM vol 3A (order code
253668-051US, June 2014) requires this to be true, and the driver code
assumes it will be true.
Add a comment to the code stating that it is best if we continue to
refrain from ensuring that total_size is a multiple of 1024 bytes. The
reason to never add that check is non-obvious.
Refuse a microcode with a revision of zero, we reserve that for the
factory-provided microcode.
