From feebf17187809a23f2f0253cfc3434ba2ea4628b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Molkentin Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2019 13:46:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ucode: properly include early only ucode Intel has notified us that some microcode updates are not safe to be applied during runtime. To accomodate for that, microcode files shipped by SUSE and openSUSE have an '.early' postfix such that triggering /sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload from a booted system cannot pick up the ucode by accident, while still allowing the code to be picked up during initrd time. This change is needed to make this scheme work also in a hostonly situation. Currently, this affects only 06-4f-01, which is now 06-4f-01.early. If a distro does not change the filename, the behavior does not change.
