Subject: [patch V2 10/37] x86/microcode/intel: Rip out mixed stepping support for Intel CPUs
Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2023 21:58:52 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230812195728.129971794@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230812194003.682298127@linutronix.de>
From: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>
Mixed steppings aren't supported on Intel CPUs. Only one patch is required
for the entire system. The caching of micro code blobs which match the
family and model is therefore pointless and in fact it is disfunctional as
CPU hotplug updates use only a single microcode blob, i.e. the one where
*intel_ucode_patch points to.
Remove the microcode cache and make it an AMD local feature.
[ tglx: Save only at the end. Otherwise random microcode ends up in the
pointer for early loading ]
