Subject: [PATCH 19/20] x86/microcode: Disable builtin microcode loading on 32-bit for now
Date: Thu,  4 Jun 2015 18:55:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1433436928-31903-20-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1433436928-31903-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de>

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

Andy Shevchenko reported machine freezes when booting latest tip on
x32 setups. Problem is, the builtin microcode handling cannot really
work that early, when we haven't even enabled paging. A proper fix
would involve handling that case specially as every other early 32-bit
boot case in the microcode loader and would require much more involved
changes for which it is too late now, more than a week before the
upcoming merge window.

So, disable the builtin microcode loading only on 32-bit for now.
