Merge tag 'x86_microcode_for_v7.2_rc1' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 microcode loader updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Move the zero-revision fixup for AMD microcode to the patch level
   retrieval function and restrict it to Zen family processors, ensuring
   patch level arithmetic always operates on a valid revision

 - Fix an incorrect comment about which CPUID bit is checked when
   determining whether the microcode loader should be disabled

 - Add the latest Intel microcode revision data for a broad range of
   processor models and steppings and add the script which generates the
   header of minimum expected Intel microcode revisions

* tag 'x86_microcode_for_v7.2_rc1' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86/microcode/AMD: Move the no-revision fixup to get_patch_level()
  x86/microcode: Fix comment in microcode_loader_disabled()
  scripts/x86/intel: Add a script to update the old microcode list
  x86/microcode/intel: Refresh old_microcode defines with Nov 2025 release

DESCRIPTION = f"""
For Intel CPUs, update the microcode revisions that determine
X86_BUG_OLD_MICROCODE.
This script is intended to be run in response to releases of the
official Intel microcode GitHub repository:
https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files.git
It takes the Intel microcode files as input and uses iucode-tool to
extract the revision information. It prints the output in the format
expected by intel-ucode-defs.h.
Usage:
./{script} /path/to/microcode/files > /path/to/intel-ucode-defs.h
Typically, someone at Intel would see a new public release, wait for at
least three months to ensure the update is stable, run this script to
refresh the intel-ucode-defs.h file, and send a patch upstream to update
the mainline and stable versions.
Any exception to this process should be supported with an appropriate
justification.
