Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2014 14:37:54 -0300 From: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@....eng.br> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@...en8.de>, H Peter Anvin <hpa@...or.com> Subject: [PATCH 8/8] x86, microcode, intel: defend apply_microcode_intel with BUG_ON Microcode updates that requires an unknown loader should never reach the apply_* functions (the code should have rejected it earlier). Likewise for an unknown microcode header layout.
