From ee38a90709084b1c91279cde8f783e90f85285a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2015 18:55:27 +0200 Subject: x86/microcode: Disable builtin microcode loading on 32-bit for now Andy Shevchenko reported machine freezes when booting latest tip on 32-bit setups. Problem is, the builtin microcode handling cannot really work that early, when we haven't even enabled paging. A proper fix would involve handling that case specially as every other early 32-bit boot case in the microcode loader and would require much more involved changes for which it is too late now, more than a week before the upcoming merge window. So, disable the builtin microcode loading on 32-bit for now. Reported-and-tested-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: H.
