From 2d5be37d686c4dae8e60d20283d6f44ac2c44f65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2015 12:24:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode: Initialize the driver late when facilities are up Running microcode_init() from setup_arch() is a bad idea because not even kmalloc() is ready at that point and the loader does all kinds of allocations and init/registration with various subsystems. Make it a late initcall when required facilities are initialized so that the microcode driver initialization can succeed too.
