[GIT PULL] x86/microcode updates for 5.2
From: Borislav Petkov
Date: Mon May 06 2019 - 05:07:20 EST
Hi Linus,
please pull
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-microcode-for-linus
to receive a nice Intel microcode blob loading cleanup which gets rid
of the ugly memcpy wrappers and switches the driver to use the iov_iter
API. By Jann Horn.
In addition, the /dev/cpu/microcode interface is finally deprecated as it is
inadequate for the same reasons the late microcode loading is.
Thx.
