4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 23cb7d46f371844c004784ad9552a57446f73e5a upstream. Commit: ec400ddeff20 ("x86/microcode_intel_early.c: Early update ucode on Intel's CPU") ... grubbed into tlbflush internals without coherent explanation. Since it says its a precaution and the SDM doesn't mention anything like this, take it out back.
