Pull x86 microcode loading updates from Borislav Petkov: "This update contains work started by Maciej to make the microcode container verification more robust against all kinds of corruption and also unify verification paths between early and late loading. The result is a set of verification routines which validate the microcode blobs before loading it on the CPU. In addition, the code is a lot more streamlined and unified. In the process, some of the aspects of patch handling and loading were simplified. All provided by Maciej S. Szmigiero and Borislav Petkov" * 'x86-microcode-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/microcode/AMD: Update copyright x86/microcode/AMD: Check the equivalence table size when scanning it x86/microcode/AMD: Convert CPU equivalence table variable into a struct x86/microcode/AMD: Check microcode container data in the late loader x86/microcode/AMD: Fix container size's type x86/microcode/AMD: Convert early parser to the new verification routines x86/microcode/AMD: Change verify_patch()'s return value x86/microcode/AMD: Move chipset-specific check into verify_patch() x86/microcode/AMD: Move patch family check to verify_patch() x86/microcode/AMD: Simplify patch family detection x86/microcode/AMD: Concentrate patch verification x86/microcode/AMD: Cleanup verify_patch_size() more x86/microcode/AMD: Clean up per-family patch size checks x86/microcode/AMD: Move verify_patch_size() up in the file x86/microcode/AMD: Add microcode container verification x86/microcode/AMD: Subtract SECTION_HDR_SIZE from file leftover length
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
