Subject: [GIT PULL] x86/microcode updates for 5.2
Date: Mon, 6 May 2019 11:06:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190506090632.GC6094@zn.tnic> (raw)

Hi Linus,

please pull

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-microcode-for-linus

to receive a nice Intel microcode blob loading cleanup which gets rid
of the ugly memcpy wrappers and switches the driver to use the iov_iter
API. By Jann Horn.

In addition, the /dev/cpu/microcode interface is finally deprecated as it is
inadequate for the same reasons the late microcode loading is.

Thx.
