Merge branch 'x86/microcode' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 microcode loading update from Peter Anvin: "This patchset lets us update the CPU microcode very, very early in initialization if the BIOS fails to do so (never happens, right?) This is handy for dealing with things like the Atom erratum where we have to run without PSE because microcode loading happens too late. As I mentioned in the x86/mm push request it depends on that infrastructure but it is otherwise a standalone feature." * 'x86/microcode' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/Kconfig: Make early microcode loading a configuration feature x86/mm/init.c: Copy ucode from initrd image to kernel memory x86/head64.c: Early update ucode in 64-bit x86/head_32.S: Early update ucode in 32-bit x86/microcode_intel_early.c: Early update ucode on Intel's CPU x86/tlbflush.h: Define __native_flush_tlb_global_irq_disabled() x86/microcode_intel_lib.c: Early update ucode on Intel's CPU x86/microcode_core_early.c: Define interfaces for early loading ucode x86/common.c: load ucode in 64 bit or show loading ucode info in 32 bit on AP x86/common.c: Make have_cpuid_p() a global function x86/microcode_intel.h: Define functions and macros for early loading ucode x86, doc: Documentation for early microcode loading
