      x86, microcode: Sanitize per-cpu microcode reloading interface · c9fc3f77
      Borislav Petkov authored
      Microcode reloading in a per-core manner is a very bad idea for both
      major x86 vendors. And the thing is, we have such interface with which
      we can end up with different microcode versions applied on different
      cores of an otherwise homogeneous wrt (family,model,stepping) system.
      
      So turn off the possibility of doing that per core and allow it only
      system-wide.
      
      This is a minimal fix which we'd like to see in stable too thus the
      more-or-less arbitrary decision to allow system-wide reloading only on
      the BSP:
      
      $ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/microcode/reload
      ...
      
      and disable the interface on the other cores:
      
      $ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu23/microcode/reload
      -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
      
      Also, allowing the reload only from one CPU (the BSP in
      that case) doesn't allow the reload procedure to degenerate
      into an O(n^2) deal when triggering reloads from all
      /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/microcode/reload sysfs nodes
      simultaneously.
      
      A more generic fix will follow.

      watchdog: core: fix WDIOC_GETSTATUS return value · 8b9468d4
      Wim Van Sebroeck authored
      In commit 7a879824 we added
      a wrapper for the WDIOC_GETSTATUS ioctl call. The code results
      however in a different behaviour: it returns an error if the
      driver doesn't support the status operation. This is not
      according to the API that says that when we don't support
      the status operation, that we just should return a 0 value.
      Only when the device isn't there anymore, we should return an
      error.

      watchdog: iTCO_wdt: add platform driver module alias · e5de32e3
      Jan Beulich authored
      The recent conversion of iTCO_wdt resulted in the driver no longer
      getting loaded automatically, since it no longer has a
      MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() included. As the lpc_ich driver now creates a
      platform device, auto-loading can easily be done by having a respective
      module alias in place.
