cpu006FB_plat01_ver000000C1_2011-10-04_PRD_0EF87396.bin[ 709.478819] ucode_loader: Update took 15719179 cycles, vendor 'GenuineIntel', cpuid=0x000006FB, old rev 0xC100000000 -> new rev 0x0
Attempt to load hand crafted non-RSA patch (with same LFSR key as CPUID 6F6, but also same iv/seed) fails:
[ 582.866309] ucode_loader: loaded 4096 bytes from '../../test6FB.bin' [ 582.866313] ucode_loader: WRMSR(0x00000079, addr=0xF3977030) [ 582.866525] ucode_loader: Update took 488145 cycles, vendor 'GenuineIntel', cpuid=0x000006FB, old rev 0x0 -> new rev 0x0
TSCdiff value is same as for completely invalid patch, so it's probably rejected in early stages of loading.
