[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. |
