do_update() skips entries with DT_DIR type. This does not eliminate
other entries that might exist in the directory. More, since NFS
might fill d_type with DT_UNKNOWN, dot and dotdot entries are not
skipped, then mmap(2) call failed for them when update microcode files
are located on NFS.

Every µcode-updater must open the cpucontrol devfs node RDWR, open a
firmware file, validate the FW file has a positive length, mmap it, etc.
De-duplicate that identical logic between every individual platform.
Also, constify references to the readonly-mapped firmware files while here.

According to the Intel SDM (Volme 3, 9.11.7) the BIOS signature MSR
should be zeroed before executing cpuid (although in practice it does
not seem to matter).

Add cpuctl(4) ioctl CPUCTL_EVAL_CPU_FEATURES which forces re-read of
cpu_features, cpu_features2, cpu_stdext_features, and
std_stdext_features2.
The intent is to allow the kernel to see the changes in the CPU
features after micocode update. Of course, the update is not atomic
across variables and not synchronized with readers. See the man page
warning as well.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
Mention new -n flag.
Remove optional -h from the operation list lines, -h would cause the
utility to exit without performing the action.
Explain the default path behavior, list default path.
Correct example of update performed from the non-default path,
it needs -n and the trailing slash is redundand.
Remove useless BUGS section.

'-n' option.
Look for updates in the default locations only after user-supplied
locations are tried.
If newer microcode files are put into non-standard path, both measures
allow to avoid situation where older update loaded from the default
path first, and then the second update is applied from non-standard
path. Applying intermediate updates might be undesirable.

I guess that means that microcode update has never worked for AMD CPUs.
Please also note that only older AMD CPUs and micrcode file format are

via cpuctl(4) driver. Two new CPUCTL_MSRSBIT and CPUCTL_MSRCBIT ioctl(2)
calls treat the data field of the argument struct passed as a mask
and set/clear bits of the MSR register according to the mask value.
- Allow user to perform atomic bitwise AND and OR operaions on MSR registers
via cpucontrol(8) utility. Two new operations ("&=" and "|=") have been
added. The first one applies bitwise AND operaion between the current
contents of the MSR register and the mask, and the second performs bitwise
OR. The argument can be optionally prefixed with "~" inversion operator.
This allows one to mimic the "clear bit" behavior by using the command
like this:
cpucontrol -m 0x10&=~0x02 # clear the second bit of TSC MSR
Inversion operator support in all modes (assignment, OR, AND).
