Subject[PATCH v2 0/4] Making microcode loading more robust
Date
Hi Boris,

Here is an update that handles siblings in NMI loop.

Changes since v1:
Patch 1,2,3: No Change.
Patch 4:
- Move from lazy NMI handling to sending siblings in NMI early. This makes
things more robust, since there might be something we could trip over
before the handler is called that might be patched by the update.
[ Suggested by Andy Cooper ]

TBD: Handle DR7, temporarily disable until the update is done
[ Suggested by Andy Lutomirsky ]


Ashok Raj (4):
x86/microcode/intel: Check against CPU signature before saving
microcode
x86/microcode/intel: Allow a late-load only if a min rev is specified
x86/microcode: Avoid any chance of MCE's during microcode update
x86/microcode: Place siblings in NMI loop while update in progress
