Subject: x86/CPU: Check CPU feature bits after microcode upgrade
|
|
|
|
With some microcode upgrades, new CPUID features can become visible on
|
|
the CPU. Check what the kernel has mirrored now and issue a warning
|
|
hinting at possible things the user/admin can do to make use of the
|
|
newly visible features.
