Subject: [PATCH] x86 microcode: work_on_cpu and cleanup of the
	synchronization logic


From: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@...il.com>
Subject: x86 microcode: work_on_cpu and cleanup of the synchronization logic
    
* Solve an issue described in 6f66cbc63081fd70e3191b4dbb796746780e5ae1
  in a different way, without resorting to set_cpus_allowed();
    
* in fact, only collect_cpu_info and apply_microcode callbacks require to be run
  on a target cpu, others will do just fine on any other cpu.

  We impose this requirement and update all the relevant places;
    
* cleanup of the synchronization logic of the 'microcode_core' part

  The generic 'microcode_core' part guarantees that only a single cpu is being
  updated at any particular moment of time.

  In general, there is no need for any additional sync. logic in arch-specific parts
  (the patch removes existing spinlocks).

  See also the "Synchronization" section in microcode_core.c.

- don't call sysfs_remove_group() from mc_sysdev_add() in case when a proper
  ucode was not found/loaded.

  In general, I think that we shouldn't treat this case as an error.
  Say, what if a user upgrades manually via /dev/microcode later on?
  I'd say let's keep sysfs files around.

  This also avoids warnings being triggered in some cases (there were a few reports on lkml).
  e.g. http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/16/453 and http://marc.info/?t=123964721700008&r=1&w=2
    
* some minor cleanups
    

Remarks:
    
* perhaps, error-handling need to be made more consistent;

* BUG_ON() in collect_cpu_info_local() and apply_microcode_local()
  are signs of paranoia. Remove them?
  This would also avoid the need for 'cpu' member in struct collect_for_cpu and remove struct apply_for_cpu
  altogether. 
  The reason why apply_for_cpu is there at all, is that gcc spews warnings for void* <-> int translations 
  on my setup. Alternatively, define 'cpu' as long? (long <-> int or also re-define 'cpu' in callbacks'
  definitions - not good).
