Message-Id: <1454499225-21544-11-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2016 12:33:38 +0100 From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...en8.de> To: X86 ML <x86@...nel.org> Cc: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [PATCH 10/17] x86/microcode/intel: Move the BUG_ON up and turn it into WARN_ON From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de> If we're going to BUG_ON() because we're running on the wrong CPU, we better do it as the first thing we do when entering that function. And also, turn it into a WARN_ON() because it is not worth to panic the system if we apply the microcode on the wrong CPU - we're simply going to exit early.
