From d8c3b52c00a05036e0a6b315b4b17921a7b67997 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2018 11:28:44 +0100 Subject: x86/microcode/intel: Look into the patch cache first The cache might contain a newer patch - look in there first. A follow-on change will make sure newest patches are loaded into the cache of microcode patches.
