# Commit 8752ad83e79754f8109457cff796e5f86f644348 # Date 2024-09-24 18:57:38 +0100 # Author Demi Marie Obenour # Committer Andrew Cooper xen/ucode: Make Intel's microcode_sanity_check() stricter The SDM states that data size must be a multiple of 4, but Xen doesn't check this propery. This is liable to cause a later failures, but should be checked explicitly.
