Merge tag 'x86_microcode_for_v6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 microcode and IFS updates from Borislav Petkov: "The IFS (In-Field Scan) stuff goes through tip because the IFS driver uses the same structures and similar functionality as the microcode loader and it made sense to route it all through this branch so that there are no conflicts. - Add support for multiple testing sequences to the Intel In-Field Scan driver in order to be able to run multiple different test patterns. Rework things and remove the BROKEN dependency so that the driver can be enabled (Jithu Joseph) - Remove the subsys interface usage in the microcode loader because it is not really needed - A couple of smaller fixes and cleanups" * tag 'x86_microcode_for_v6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (24 commits) x86/microcode/intel: Do not retry microcode reloading on the APs x86/microcode/intel: Do not print microcode revision and processor flags platform/x86/intel/ifs: Add missing kernel-doc entry Revert "platform/x86/intel/ifs: Mark as BROKEN" Documentation/ABI: Update IFS ABI doc platform/x86/intel/ifs: Add current_batch sysfs entry platform/x86/intel/ifs: Remove reload sysfs entry platform/x86/intel/ifs: Add metadata validation platform/x86/intel/ifs: Use generic microcode headers and functions platform/x86/intel/ifs: Add metadata support x86/microcode/intel: Use a reserved field for metasize x86/microcode/intel: Add hdr_type to intel_microcode_sanity_check() x86/microcode/intel: Reuse microcode_sanity_check() x86/microcode/intel: Use appropriate type in microcode_sanity_check() x86/microcode/intel: Reuse find_matching_signature() platform/x86/intel/ifs: Remove memory allocation from load path platform/x86/intel/ifs: Remove image loading during init platform/x86/intel/ifs: Return a more appropriate error code platform/x86/intel/ifs: Remove unused selection x86/microcode: Drop struct ucode_cpu_info.valid ...

Description: Write <cpu#> to trigger IFS test for one online core.
Note that the test is per core. The cpu# can be
for any thread on the core. Running on one thread
completes the test for the core containing that thread.
Example: to test the core containing cpu5: echo 5 >

-Description: Write "1" (or "y" or "Y") to reload the IFS image from
- /lib/firmware/intel/ifs/ff-mm-ss.scan.
+Description: Write a number less than or equal to 0xff to load an IFS test image.
+ The number written treated as the 2 digit suffix in the following file name:
+ /lib/firmware/intel/ifs_<N>/ff-mm-ss-02x.scan
+ Reading the file will provide the suffix of the currently loaded IFS test image.
