From f3e2a51f568d9f33370f4e8bb05669a34223241a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Mon, 9 Jan 2017 12:41:44 +0100 Subject: x86/microcode: Use native CPUID to tickle out microcode revision Intel supplies the microcode revision value in MSR 0x8b (IA32_BIOS_SIGN_ID) after CPUID(1) has been executed. Execute it each time before reading that MSR. It used to do sync_core() which did do CPUID but c198b121b1a1 ("x86/asm: Rewrite sync_core() to use IRET-to-self") changed the sync_core() implementation so we better make the microcode loading case explicit, as the SDM documents it.
