- Disable late microcode loading by default. Unless the HW people get
     their act together and provide a required minimum version in the
     microcode header for making a halfways informed decision its just
     lottery and broken.
 
   - Warn and taint the kernel when microcode is loaded late
 
   - Remove the old unused microcode loader interface
 
   - Remove a redundant perf callback from the microcode loader

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.
