# Commit 977d98e67c2e929c62aa1f495fc4c6341c45abb5 # Date 2024-05-16 13:59:11 +0100 # Author Andrew Cooper # Committer Andrew Cooper x86/ucode: Further fixes to identify "ucode already up to date" When the revision in hardware is newer than anything Xen has to hand, 'microcode_cache' isn't set up. Then, `xen-ucode` initiates the update because it doesn't know whether the revisions across the system are symmetric or not. This involves the patch getting all the way into the apply_microcode() hooks before being found to be too old. This is all a giant mess and needs an overhaul, but in the short term simply adjust the apply_microcode() to return -EEXIST. Also, unconditionally print the preexisting microcode revision on boot. It's relevant information which is otherwise unavailable if Xen doesn't find new microcode to use.
