Subject: [patch 19/30] x86/microcode: Clarify the late load logic
Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2023 20:37:54 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230810160806.045993293@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20230810153317.850017756@linutronix.de
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
reload_store() is way too complicated. Split the inner workings out and
make the following enhancements:
- Taint the kernel only when the microcode was actually updated. If. e.g.
the rendevouz fails, then nothing happened and there is no reason for
tainting.
- Return useful error codes
