In kvm typically a non-existent CPU is emulated and the microcode driver will not be tried to get loaded. But you can pass kvm -cpu host and then kvm will pass the original CPU cpuid info to the virtualized client which will try to load the microcode driver then. I hope this condition is correctly detected and handled (return -ENODEV?) in the microcode update driver and we can get rid of all additional userspace quirks which try to detect when the microcode driver should get loaded.
Yes it should just error out. Deciding it before loading is likely complicated and wouldn't save all that much. -Andi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
