[PATCH 4.14 086/138] x86/CPU: Add a microcode loader callback

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Apr 10 2018 - 18:46:54 EST


4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

commit 1008c52c09dcb23d93f8e0ea83a6246265d2cce0 upstream.

Add a callback function which the microcode loader calls when microcode
has been updated to a newer revision. Do the callback only when no error
was encountered during loading.
