Message-Id: <20180216112640.11554-1-bp@alien8.de> Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2018 12:26:37 +0100 From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...en8.de> To: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@...el.com> Cc: X86 ML <x86@...nel.org>, LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [PATCH 0/3] x86/microcode: Add a microcode loader callback From: Borislav Petkov <bp@...e.de> Add a callback which the microcode loader calls after microcode has been upgraded late to let the user know that any CPUID changes potentially won't take effect. One possible example for this is that late loading happens after alternatives have run and thus patching which relies on those new CPUID features won't happen. @Ashok: I haven't added your tags yet because I did a small change to run the callback only when no error has been encountered during loading. Please run them on your setup to confirm everything's still fine. Thanks.
