Linux kernel source tree for SHARP Brain series (PW-SH1 or later)

commit f5ae2ea6347a308cfe91f53b53682ce635497d0d upstream. Intel Software Developer's Manual, volume 3, chapter 9.11.6 says: "Note that the microcode update must be aligned on a 16-byte boundary and the size of the microcode update must be 1-KByte granular" When early-load Intel microcode is loaded from initramfs, userspace tool 'iucode_tool' has already 16-byte aligned those microcode bits in that initramfs image. Image that was created something like this: iucode_tool --write-earlyfw=FOO.cpio microcode-files... However, when early-load Intel microcode is loaded from built-in firmware BLOB using CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE= kernel config option, that 16-byte alignment is not guaranteed. Fix this by forcing all built-in firmware BLOBs to 16-byte alignment. [ If we end up having other firmware with much bigger alignment requirements, we might need to introduce some method for the firmware to specify it, this is the minimal "just increase the alignment a bit to account for this one special case" patch - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Jari Ruusu <jari.ruusu@gmail.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Cc: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> |

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
