[PATCH 3.16 063/410] x86/speculation: Update Speculation Control microcode blacklist

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Thu Jun 07 2018 - 10:47:00 EST


3.16.57-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1751342095f0d2b36fa8114d8e12c5688c455ac4 upstream.

Intel have retroactively blessed the 0xc2 microcode on Skylake mobile
and desktop parts, and the Gemini Lake 0x22 microcode is apparently fine
too. We blacklisted the latter purely because it was present with all
the other problematic ones in the 2018-01-08 release, but now it's
explicitly listed as OK.

We still list 0x84 for the various Kaby Lake / Coffee Lake parts, as
that appeared in one version of the blacklist and then reverted to
0x80 again. We can change it if 0x84 is actually announced to be safe.
