Subject[PATCH] x86/microcode/AMD: Attempt applying on every logical thread
Date
From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

Currently, the patch application logic checks whether patch application
is needed. Therefore, on SMT designs where the microcode engine is
shared between the two threads, the application happens only on one of
them.

However, there are microcode patches which do per-thread modification,
see Link tag below.

Therefore, drop the revision check and try applying on each thread. This
is what the BIOS does too so this method is very much tested.
