>From 0b56d1f86679c5dc435ab6d96eb2f68b666271bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juergen Gross Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2016 07:18:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode: don't try to load microcode when running as a xen pv guest As a Xen pv guest some mechanisms to do microcode loading or verification might not work. As the hypervisor is responsible for loading the microcode just skip microcode loading in case of running under Xen.
