[patch V4 25/30] x86/microcode: Rendezvous and load in NMI

[Thomas Gleixner]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

stop_machine() does not prevent the spin-waiting sibling from handling an
NMI, which is obviously violating the whole concept of rendezvous.

Implement a static branch right in the beginning of the NMI handler which
is NOOPed except when enabled by the late loading mechanism.

The late loader enables the static branch before stop_machine() is
invoked. Each CPU has an nmi_enable in its control structure which
indicates whether the CPU should go into the update routine.

This is required to bridge the gap between enabling the branch and actually
being at the point where it is required to enter the loader wait loop.

Each CPU which arrives in the stopper thread function sets that flag and
issues a self NMI right after that. If the NMI function sees the flag
clear, it returns. If it's set it clears the flag and enters the rendezvous.

This is safe against a real NMI which hits in between setting the flag and
sending the NMI to itself. The real NMI will be swallowed by the microcode
update and the self NMI will then let stuff continue. Otherwise this would
end up with a spurious NMI.
