Commit 1aa60a95bd broke microcode loading for chipsets that have a
microcode blob with a total_size field set to 0. This appears to be
support for older chipsets, where the size was set to 0 and assumed to
be 2048 bytes. The fix is to change the result of the subtraction to a
signed type, and ensure the following comparison is done without
promoting the signed type to an unsigned one.

CB:49896 added support in `intel_microcode_find()` to cache the found
microcode for faster subsequent accesses. This works okay when the
function succeeds in finding the microcode on BSP. However, if for any
reason, `cpu_microcode_blob.bin` does not contain a valid microcode
for the given processor, then the logic ends up attempting to find
microcode again and again every time it is called (because
`ucode_updates` is set to NULL on failed find, thus retriggering the
whole find sequence every time). This leads to a weird race condition
when multiple APs are running in parallel and executing this
function.
A snippet of the issues observed in the scenario described above:
```
...
microcode: Update skipped, already up-to-date
...
Microcode header corrupted!
...
```
1. AP reports that microcode update is being skipped since the current
version matches the version in CBFS (even though there is no matching
microcode update in CBFS).
2. AP reports microcode header is corrupted because it thinks that the
data size reported in the microcode is larger than the file read from
CBFS.
Above issues occur because each time an AP calls
`intel_microcode_find()`, it might end up seeing some intermittent
state of `ucode_updates` and taking incorrect action.
This change fixes this race condition by separating the logic for
finding microcode into an internal function `find_cbfs_microcode()`
and maintaining the caching logic in `intel_microcode_find()` using a
boolean flag `microcode_checked`.
BUG=b:182232187
TEST=Verified that `intel_microcode_find()` no longer makes repeated
attempts to find microcode from CBFS if it failed the first time.

This patch renames cbfs_boot_map_with_leak() and cbfs_boot_load_file()
to cbfs_map() and cbfs_load() respectively. This is supposed to be the
start of a new, better organized CBFS API where the most common
operations have the most simple and straight-forward names. Less
commonly used variants of these operations (e.g. cbfs_ro_load() or
cbfs_region_load()) can be introduced later. It seems unnecessary to
keep carrying around "boot" in the names of most CBFS APIs if the vast
majority of accesses go to the boot CBFS (instead, more unusual
operations should have longer names that describe how they diverge from
the common ones).
cbfs_map() is paired with a new cbfs_unmap() to allow callers to cleanly
reap mappings when desired. A few new cbfs_unmap() calls are added to
generic code where it makes sense, but it seems unnecessary to introduce
this everywhere in platform or architecture specific code where the boot
medium is known to be memory-mapped anyway. In fact, even for
non-memory-mapped platforms, sometimes leaking a mapping to the CBFS
cache is a much cleaner solution than jumping through hoops to provide
some other storage for some long-lived file object, and it shouldn't be
outright forbidden when it makes sense.
Additionally, remove the type arguments from these function signatures.
The goal is to eventually remove type arguments for lookup from the
whole CBFS API. Filenames already uniquely identify CBFS files. The type
field is just informational, and there should be APIs to allow callers
to check it when desired, but it's not clear what we gain from forcing
this as a parameter into every single CBFS access when the vast majority
of the time it provides no additional value and is just clutter.

The option to specify a binary file name was added later for platforms
that do not provide microcode updates in our blobs repository. Alas,
it wasn't visible what platforms these are. And if you specified a file

Make it visible which platforms don't provide binaries with the new con-

MICROCODE_BLOB_UNDISCLOSED. Based on that we can decide if we want to

Also split CPU_MICROCODE_CBFS_GENERATE into the more explicit

And clean up the visibility of options: Don't show CBFS related options
on platforms that don't support it and don't show external file options
if the platform uses special rules for multiple files (CPU_MICROCODE_
MULTIPLE_FILES).

A new CBFS API is introduced to allow making CBFS access
easier for providing multiple CBFS sources. That is achieved
by decoupling the cbfs source from a CBFS file. A CBFS
source is described by a descriptor. It contains the necessary
properties for walking a CBFS to locate a file. The CBFS
file is then decoupled from the CBFS descriptor in that it's
no longer needed to access the contents of the file.
All of this is accomplished using the regions infrastructure
by repsenting CBFS sources and files as region_devices. Because
region_devices can be chained together forming subregions this
allows one to decouple a CBFS source from a file. This also allows
one to provide CBFS files that came from other sources for
payload and/or stage loading.
The program loading takes advantage of those very properties
by allowing multiple sources for locating a program. Because of
this we can reduce the overhead of loading programs because
it's all done in the common code paths. Only locating the
program is per source.

Add a safety check in function `intel_update_microcode` to return when
accidentally `NULL` is passed as `microcode_updates`, which would lead
to a null pointer dereference later on.
for (c = microcode_updates; m->hdrver; m = (const struct microcode *)c) {
While at it, use `return NULL` for clarity in function
`intel_microcode_find` and include the header file `stddef.h`. for it.
The review of this patch had some more discussion on adding more
comments and more detailed error messages. But this should be done in
a separate patch.
For clarity here some history, on how this was found and what caused
the discussion and confusion.
Originally when Vladimir made this improvement, selecting
`CPU_MICROCODE_IN_CBFS` in Kconfig but not having the microcode blob
`cpu_microcode_blob.bin` in CBFS resulted in a null pointer dereference
later on causing a crash.
for (c = microcode_updates; m->hdrver; m = (const struct microcode *)c) {
Vladimir fixed this by returning if `microcode_updates` is `NULL`,
that means no file is found and successfully tested this on his
Lenovo X201.
When pushing the patch to Gerrit for review, the code was rewritten
though by Aaron in commit »intel microcode: split up microcode loading
stages« (98ffb426) [1], which also returns when no file is found. So
the other parts of the code were checked and the safety check as
described above is added.

This patch only applies to CONFIG_MICROCODE_IN_CBFS. The intel microcode
update routine would always walk the CBFS for the microcode file. Then
it would loop through the whole file looking for a match then load the
microcode. This process was maintained for intel_update_microcode_from_cbfs(),
however 2 new functions were exported:
1. const void *intel_microcode_find(void)
2. void intel_microcode_load_unlocked(const void *microcode_patch)
The first locates a matching microcode while the second loads that
mircocode. These new functions can then be used to cache the found
microcode blob w/o having to re-walk the CBFS.
Booted baskingridge board to Linux and noted that all microcode
revisions match on all the CPUs.
