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:
