Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 163/254] x86, microcode, AMD: Fix early ucode loading on 32-bit

3.16.7-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de>

commit 4750a0d112cbfcc744929f1530ffe3193436766c upstream.

Konrad triggered the following splat below in a 32-bit guest on an AMD
box. As it turns out, in save_microcode_in_initrd_amd() we're using the
*physical* address of the container *after* we have enabled paging and
thus we #PF in load_microcode_amd() when trying to access the microcode
container in the ramdisk range.

Because the ramdisk is exactly there:

[    0.000000] RAMDISK: [mem 0x35e04000-0x36ef9fff]

and we fault at 0x35e04304.

And since this guest doesn't relocate the ramdisk, we don't do the
computation which will give us the correct virtual address and we end up
with the PA.

So, we should actually be using virtual addresses on 32-bit too by the
time we're freeing the initrd. Do that then!

Unpacking initramfs...
