[patch V4 21/30] x86/microcode: Add per CPU result state

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Mon Oct 02 2023 - 08:00:49 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The microcode rendevouz is purely acting on global state, which does not
allow to analyze fails in a coherent way.

Introduce per CPU state where the results are written into, which allows to
analyze the return codes of the individual CPUs.

Initialize the state when walking the cpu_present_mask in the online check
to avoid another for_each_cpu() loop.

Enhance the result print out with that.

The structure is intentionally named ucode_ctrl as it will gain control
fields in subsequent changes.
