x86, microcode: Don't initialize microcode code on paravirt
commit a18a0f68 upstream. Paravirtual guests are not expected to load microcode into processors and therefore it is not necessary to initialize microcode loading logic. In fact, under certain circumstances initializing this logic may cause the guest to crash. Specifically, 32-bit kernels use __pa_nodebug() macro which does not work in Xen (the code path that leads to this macro happens during resume when we call mc_bp_resume()->load_ucode_ap() ->check_loader_disabled_ap()) Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1417469264-31470-1-git-send-email-boris.ostrovsky@oracle.comSigned-off-by: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
