This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/microcode: Add a parameter to microcode_check() to store CPU capabilities to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-microcode-add-a-parameter-to-microcode_check-to-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7dc726455aeb3da1ad238683c310dc088b397e11 Author: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jan 9 07:35:50 2023 -0800 x86/microcode: Add a parameter to microcode_check() to store CPU capabilities [ Upstream commit ab31c74455c64e69342ddab21fd9426fcbfefde7 ] Add a parameter to store CPU capabilities before performing a microcode update so that CPU capabilities can be compared before and after update.
