[I] Intel Microcode Update Utility
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[T] The microcode_ctl utility is a companion to the IA32 microcode driver
|
|
|
|
|
[T] written by Tigran Aivazian <tigran@veritas.com>. The utility has two uses:
|
|
|
|
|
[T]
|
|
|
|
|
[T] * it decodes and sends new microcode to the kernel driver to be uploaded
|
|
|
|
|
[T] to Intel IA32 processors. (Pentium Pro, PII, PIII, Pentium 4, Celeron,
|
|
|
|
|
[T] Xeon etc - all P6 and above, which does NOT include pentium classics).
|
|
|
|
|
[T] It also supports processors of the x86_64 architecture.
|
|
|
|
|
[T] * it signals the kernel driver to release any buffers it may hold
|
|
|
|
|
[T]
|
|
|
|
|
[T] The microcode update is volatile and needs to be uploaded on each system
|
|
|
|
|
[T] boot i.e. it doesn't reflash your cpu permanently, reboot and it reverts
|
|
|
|
|
[T] back to the old microcode.
