[PATCH 3.16 164/328] x86/spectre: Add missing family 6 check to microcode check

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



3.16.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1ab534e85c93945f7862378d8c8adcf408205b19 upstream.

The check for Spectre microcodes does not check for family 6, only the
model numbers.

Add a family 6 check to avoid ambiguity with other families.

Fixes: a5b296636453 ("x86/cpufeature: Blacklist SPEC_CTRL/PRED_CMD on early Spectre v2 microcodes")
