Applying microcode late can be fatal for the running kernel when the update changes functionality which is in use already in a non-compatible way, e.g. by removing a CPUID bit. There is no way for admins which do not have access to the vendors deep technical support to decide whether late loading of such a microcode is safe or not. Intel has added a new field to the microcode header which tells the minimal microcode revision which is required to be active in the CPU in order to be safe. Provide infrastructure for handling this in the core code and a command line switch which allows to enforce it. If the update is considered safe the kernel is not tainted and the annoying warning message not emitted. If it's enforced and the currently loaded microcode revision is not safe for late loading then the load is aborted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
