Revision 6f66cbc63081fd70e3191b4dbb796746780e5ae1 authored by Hugh Dickins on 14 April 2009, 18:25:42 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 14 April 2009, 18:45:59 UTC
Revert part of af5c820a3169e81af869c113e18ec7588836cd50 ("x86: cpumask:
use work_on_cpu in arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c")

That change is causing only one Intel CPU's microcode to be updated e.g.
microcode: CPU3 updated from revision 0x9 to 0x17, date = 2005-04-22
where before it announced that also for CPU0 and CPU1 and CPU2.

We cannot use work_on_cpu() in the CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE code,
because Intel's request_microcode_user() involves a copy_from_user() from
/sbin/microcode_ctl, which therefore needs to be on that CPU at the time.
