Hi back in the December of 2016 there was commit "1c52d859cb2d417e7216d3e56bb7fea88444cec9"
witch was followed shortly by "c198b121b1a1d7a7171770c634cd49191bac4477"
Unfortunately only the first commit was later included in long-term kernel branches such as 4.4 and 4.9 witch left some of microcode functionality broken on 32 bit systems
I guess it should be easily fixed by including "c198b121b1a1d7a7171770c634cd49191bac4477" in those branches
Now queued up, thanks!
Hm, no, it causes a bunch of build warnings that look like things are about to break: arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x1b: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: text_poke_early()+0x83: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: apply_alternatives()+0x366: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: text_poke()+0x196: unsupported instruction in callable function
So I'm going to drop this patch from both trees now. Can you provide a working backported version, or find what else needs to be applied as well for this patch?
thanks,
