Subject: [PATCH v1 Part2 5/5] x86/microcode: Provide an option to override minrev enforcement
Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2023 09:29:20 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230113172920.113612-6-ashok.raj@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230113172920.113612-1-ashok.raj@intel.com>
Minimum Required Revision (minrev) is enforced strictly. All new patches
will have a minrev that is not zero. But there might be a transition time
for some that need this enforcement to be relaxed.
When the override is enabled, the kernel will be tainted.
Provide a debugfs variable to override the minrev enforcement.
