Abstract
Techniques for updates and rollbacks of firmware patches in a computing system during runtime are provided. A processor includes one or more intellectual property (IP) blocks; a secure patch memory to store a first firmware patch in a primary patch region and a second firmware patch in a secondary patch region; a processing core to execute a first patch commit instruction; and a security controller to send the second firmware patch to the one or more IP blocks, set the secondary patch region to the primary patch region when the first patch commit instruction indicates the second firmware patch is valid, and get the first firmware patch from the primary patch region and send the first firmware patch to the one or more IP blocks when the first patch commit instruction indicates the second firmware patch is invalid.
