Subject: [PATCH 6/7] x86/nmi: Reference stop-machine static key for offline microcode handler
Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2026 01:42:21 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260125014224.249901-7-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260125014224.249901-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
The microcode loader now uses stop-machine facility for NMI-based
loading. During the rendezvous, the stop-machine static key is enabled
and can be queried via stop_machine_nmi_handler_enabled(). Reference this
on the offline handling path.
Previously, the microcode-specific static key helper returned false when
CONFIG_MICROCODE_LATE_LOADING=n. Since the offline handler is also built
only with that option, the helper effectively acted as a guard to avoid
referencing the handler symbol when it was not present. With the removal,
to avoid build issues, introduce a one-line helper.

Note on an alternative option:
Rather than keeping this loader-specific handler, stop-machine facility
could be extended further to call-back to handle offline cases. Then, the
microcode loader however will be the only user of that. Instead, just
switching to check the stop-machine helper looks to be simple enough.
