>Description:
1) Processor microcode update functions update_intel and update_via in
sys/dev/cpuctl/cpuctl.c allocate a buffer with malloc but free it with
contigfree. update_amd appears to be correct because it does contigmalloc
followed by contigfree.
2) Also, the UCODE_SIZE_MAX limit of 10 KB is too small for some microcode
updates. I noticed this because I tried to apply the most recent update for an
Intel Core i5-3570, which is 16 KB, and it failed due to this limit.
Currently, the largest microcode update I can find is 28 KB, so I raised the
limit to 32 KB to accommodate this.
I have fixed and tested both issues and attached a patch. The patch applies
cleanly both to the head and to 9.1-RELEASE-p3.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Found by inspection of sys/dev/cpuctl/cpuctl.c
2) Try to apply a microcode update to an Intel, AMD, or VIA processor that
exceeds 10 KB in size.
>Fix:
Simply apply the attached patch and rebuild.
