Messages in this thread Patch in this message | | | From | Ashok Raj <> | Subject | [PATCH 13/13] x86/microcode/intel: Add ability to update microcode even if rev is unchanged | Date | Fri, 14 Oct 2022 13:09:13 -0700 |
| |
This comes in handy for testing without the need for a new microcode file. It introduces a new boot parameter ucode_load_same, or it can be switched dynamically at run time via debugfs file /sys/kernel/debug/microcode/load_same.
NOT_FOR_INCLUSION: Leave it to the discretion of Boris if its suitable for inclusion. It will at least serve to validate some parts of the series without the need for a new microcode.
