- Add cpuctl(4) pseudo-device driver to provide access to some low-level features of CPUs like reading/writing machine-specific registers, retrieving cpuid data, and updating microcode. - Add cpucontrol(8) utility, that provides userland access to the features of cpuctl(4). - Add subsequent manpages. The cpuctl(4) device operates as follows. The pseudo-device node cpuctlX is created for each cpu present in the systems. The pseudo-device minor number corresponds to the cpu number in the system. The cpuctl(4) pseudo- device allows a number of ioctl to be preformed, namely RDMSR/WRMSR/CPUID and UPDATE. The first pair alows the caller to read/write machine-specific registers from the correspondent CPU. cpuid data could be retrieved using the CPUID call, and microcode updates are applied via UPDATE. The permissions are inforced based on the pseudo-device file permissions. RDMSR/CPUID will be allowed when the caller has read access to the device node, while WRMSR/UPDATE will be granted only when the node is opened for writing. There're also a number of priv(9) checks. The cpucontrol(8) utility is intened to provide userland access to the cpuctl(4) device features. The utility also allows one to apply cpu microcode updates. Currently only Intel and AMD cpus are supported and were tested. Approved by: kib Reviewed by: rpaulo, cokane, Peter Jeremy MFC after: 1 month 2008-08-08 16:26:53 +00:00

Add support for microcode update on newer AMD CPUs (10h+) This includes new code for parsing microcode files as well as the kernel-side change to apply the update on all processors at the same time. Developed with help from Borislav Petkov, formerly bp@amd64.org. Tested using Athlon II X2 processor on a system where BIOS does not have the latest microcode version: /boot/firmware/microcode_amd.bin: updating cpu /dev/cpuctl0 to revision 0x10000c7... done. The microcode file is taken from here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160528230514/http://www.amd64.org/microcode.html (note that the original site seems to be down at the moment) It can also be found here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/amd-ucode Reviewed by: kib, stas MFC after: 2 weeks Relnotes: maybe Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D8384 2016-11-02 16:15:49 +00:00			`SRCS= cpucontrol.c intel.c amd.c amd10h.c via.c`
