Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86, microcode: Do Intel microcode revision check signed v2
Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2013 15:57:47 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1386892668-22256-1-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org> (raw)
From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
The Intel SDM Vol 3 9.11.1 Microcode update states that
the update revision field is signed. However we do the comparison
unsigned, as the comparison gets promoted. Change the field
to be signed, so that comparision is really signed.
v2: Change field.
