[PATCH 1/2] x86/microcode: Make sure boot_cpu_data.microcode is up-to-date

From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Wed Aug 01 2018 - 11:44:33 EST


From: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@xxxxxxxxxx>

The MCE code uses boot_cpu_data.microcode to prepare the MCE record.
However, on systems where late microcode update has occurred, the
microcode revision output in a MCE log record is wrong because
boot_cpu_data.microcode is not updated when the microcode gets updated.

However, the microcode revision saved in boot_cpu_data's microcode
member should be kept up-to-date, regardless, for consistency.

Make it so.
