x86/microcode/AMD: Handle multiple glued containers properly
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It can happen that - especially during testing - the microcode
blobs of all families are all glued together in the initrd. The
current code doesn't check whether the current container matched
a microcode patch and continues to the next one, which leads to
save_microcode_in_initrd_amd() to look at the next and thus wrong one:

  microcode: parse_container: ucode: 0xffff88807e9d9082
  microcode: verify_patch: buf: 0xffff88807e9d90ce, buf_size: 26428
  microcode: verify_patch: proc_id: 0x8082, patch_fam: 0x17, this family: 0x17
  microcode: verify_patch: buf: 0xffff88807e9d9d56, buf_size: 23220
  microcode: verify_patch: proc_id: 0x8012, patch_fam: 0x17, this family: 0x17
  microcode: parse_container: MATCH: eq_id: 0x8012, patch proc_rev_id: 0x8012

<-- matching patch found

  microcode: verify_patch: buf: 0xffff88807e9da9de, buf_size: 20012
  microcode: verify_patch: proc_id: 0x8310, patch_fam: 0x17, this family: 0x17
  microcode: verify_patch: buf: 0xffff88807e9db666, buf_size: 16804
  microcode: Invalid type field (0x414d44) in container file section header.
  microcode: Patch section fail

<-- checking chokes on the microcode magic value of the next container.

  microcode: parse_container: saving container 0xffff88807e9d9082
  microcode: save_microcode_in_initrd_amd: scanned containers, data: 0xffff88807e9d9082, size: 9700a

and now if there's a next (and last container) it'll use that in
save_microcode_in_initrd_amd() and not find a proper patch, ofc.

Fix that by moving the out: label up, before the desc->mc check which
jots down the pointer of the matching patch and is used to signal to the
caller that it has found a matching patch in the current container.
