Patches 1 and 2 improve the documentation and parsing for `ucode=`. Patches 3 and 4 introduce nits/improvements to the microcode early loading code. Some (variant of the) patches have been sent earlier under "Support builtin CPU microcode" as those patches were motivated by discussions following the initial submission of the builtin microcode. On a second thought, such improvements should have gone independently. So here it goes. (Those improvements will be dropped from the builtin microcode series as I submit its v3). Changes since submitted under [v2] x86/microcode: Support builtin CPU microcode - Patch 1: New / explicitly document the current behaviour of ucode=scan with EFI - Patch 2: Fix index data type, drop unwelcomed function rename - Patch 3 and 4: Added Acked-by, otherwise as before Eslam Elnikety (4): x86/microcode: Improve documentation for ucode= x86/microcode: Improve parsing for ucode= x86/microcode: avoid unnecessary xmalloc/memcpy of ucode data x86/microcode: use const qualifier for microcode buffer docs/misc/xen-command-line.pandoc | 14 ++++-- xen/arch/x86/microcode.c | 74 +++++++++++-------------------- 2 files changed, 37 insertions(+), 51 deletions(-) -- 2.17.1 _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel
