x86/microcode/intel: Rip out mixed stepping support for Intel CPUs
Mixed steppings aren't supported on Intel CPUs. Only one microcode patch is required for the entire system. The caching of microcode blobs which match the family and model is therefore pointless and in fact is dysfunctional as CPU hotplug updates use only a single microcode blob, i.e. the one where *intel_ucode_patch points to. Remove the microcode cache and make it an AMD local feature. [ tglx: - save only at the end. Otherwise random microcode ends up in the pointer for early loading - free the ucode patch pointer in save_microcode_patch() only after kmemdup() has succeeded, as reported by Andrew Cooper ] Originally-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231017211722.404362809@linutronix.de
