x86/microcode: Handle "offline" CPUs correctly
mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.7-rc1 commit 8f849ff63bcbc77670da03cb8f2b78b06257f455 category: feature bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/intel-kernel/issues/I8XRMW CVE: NA -------------------------------- Offline CPUs need to be parked in a safe loop when microcode update is in progress on the primary CPU. Currently, offline CPUs are parked in mwait_play_dead(), and for Intel CPUs, its not a safe instruction, because the MWAIT instruction can be patched in the new microcode update that can cause instability. - Add a new microcode state 'UCODE_OFFLINE' to report status on per-CPU basis. - Force NMI on the offline CPUs. Wake up offline CPUs while the update is in progress and then return them back to mwait_play_dead() after microcode update is complete.
