Offline CPUs need to be parked in a safe loop when microcode update is in progress on the primary CPU. Currently, offline CPUs are parked in mwait_play_dead(), and for Intel CPUs, its not a safe instruction, because the MWAIT instruction can be patched in the new microcode update that can cause instability. - Add a new microcode state 'UCODE_OFFLINE' to report status on per-CPU basis. - Force NMI on the offline CPUs. Wake up offline CPUs while the update is in progress and then return them back to mwait_play_dead() after microcode update is complete.

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.
