Subject: [PATCH 0/2] x86/microcode: Add debugging glue
Date: Sat,  9 Aug 2025 11:42:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250809094206.28028-1-bp@kernel.org> (raw)

From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>

Hi,

this is something I've been meaning to do for a long time: each time when
doing despicable things to the loader, I get to add debugging code too and run
it in a VM to see how those despicable things fare. But then I remove the
debugging glue again when cleaning up the despicable things and turning them
into proper patches.

So make this debugging code permanent but keep it out of reach from production
use and have it build- and boot-disabled  by default.

Thx.
