Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode/AMD: Limit Entrysign signature checking to known generations
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2025 14:46:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251023124629.5385-1-bp@kernel.org> (raw)
From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@alien8.de>
Limit Entrysign sha256 signature checking to CPUs in the range Zen1-Zen5.
X86_BUG cannot be used here because the loading on the BSP happens way
too early, before the cpufeatures machinery has been set up.
Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de>
