From 23cb7d46f371844c004784ad9552a57446f73e5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2017 13:34:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode: Dont abuse the TLB-flush interface Commit: ec400ddeff20 ("x86/microcode_intel_early.c: Early update ucode on Intel's CPU") ... grubbed into tlbflush internals without coherent explanation. Since it says its a precaution and the SDM doesn't mention anything like this, take it out back.
