The following patch makes the microcode update code path actually invoke the perf_check_microcode() function and thus potentially renabling SNB PEBS. By default, CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE is forced to Y in arch/x86/Kconfig. There is no way to disable this. That means that the code path used in arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c did not include the call to perf_check_microcode(). Thus, even though the microcode was updated to a version that fixes the SNB PEBS problem, perf_event would still return EOPNOTSUPP when enabling precise sampling. This patch simply adds a call to perf_check_microcode() in the call path used when OLD_INTERFACE=y.
