Merge branch 'x86-microcode-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 microcode update from Ingo Molnar: "The biggest change (by Borislav Petkov) is a thorough rewrite of the Intel microcode loader and its interactions with the core code. The biggest conceptual change is the decoupling of the microcode loading on boot and application processors (which load the microcode in different scenarios), so that both parse the input patches with as few assumptions as possible - this also fixes various kernel address space randomization bugs. (The AP side then goes on and caches the result to improve boot performance.) Since the AMD side already did this, this change also opened up the path towards more unification/simplification of the core microcode loading infrastructure: 10 files changed, 647 insertions(+), 940 deletions(-) which speaks for itself" * 'x86-microcode-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/microcode: Bump driver version, update copyrights x86/microcode: Rework microcode loading x86/microcode/intel: Remove intel_lib.c x86/microcode/amd: Move private inlines to .c and mark local functions static x86/microcode: Collect CPU info on resume x86/microcode: Issue the debug printk on resume only on success x86/microcode/amd: Hand down the CPU family x86/microcode: Export the microcode cache linked list x86/microcode: Remove one #ifdef clause x86/microcode/intel: Simplify generic_load_microcode() x86/microcode: Move driver authors to CREDITS x86/microcode: Run the AP-loading routine only on the application processors
