Subject: [PATCH] x86, microcode: Limit the microcode reloading to 64-bit for now
Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2014 14:26:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1417353999-32236-1-git-send-email-bp@alien8.de> (raw)

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

First, there was this: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88001

The problem there was that microcode patches are not being reapplied
after suspend-to-ram. It was important to reapply them, though, because
of for example Haswell's TSX erratum which disabled TSX instructions
with a microcode patch.

A simple fix was

fb86b97300d9 ("x86, microcode: Update BSPs microcode on resume")

but, as it is often the case, simple fixes are too simple. This one
causes 32-bit resume to fail:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88391

Properly fixing this would require more involved changes for which it is
too late now, before the merge window. Thus, limit this to 64-bit only
temporarily.
