commit 694d79ed5aac38f50f3f096e4aff6e6cd207ccdb Author: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Wed May 3 19:49:26 2023 +0100 Commit: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Wed May 10 19:59:27 2023 +0100 x86/ucode: Refresh raw CPU policy after microcode load Loading microcode can cause new features to appear. This has happened routinely since Spectre/Meltdown, and even the presence of new status bits can sometimes mean the administrator has no further actions to perform. Conversely, loading microcode can occasionally cause features to disappear. As with livepatching, it is very much the administrators responsibility to confirm that a late microcode load is safe on the intended system before rolling it out in production. Refresh the raw CPU policy after late microcode load appears to have done something, so xen-cpuid can reflect the updated state of the system.
