Intel Skulake Scalable Platform CPU models (SKL-SP/W/X, family 6, model 85,
|
|
|
175f9a |
stepping 4) have reports of system hangs when revision 0x2000065 of microcode,
|
|
|
175f9a |
that is included since microcode-20191112 update, is applied. In order
|
|
|
175f9a |
to address this, microcode update to this revision has been disabled,
|
|
|
175f9a |
and the previously published microcode revision 0x2000064 is used by default
|
|
|
175f9a |
for the OS-driven microcode update.

The information regarding enforcing microcode update is provided below.
|
|
|
175f9a |
|
|
|
175f9a |
To enforce usage of the 0x2000065 microcode revision for a specific kernel
|
|
|
175f9a |
version, please create a file "force-intel-06-55-04" inside
|
|
|
175f9a |
/lib/firmware/<kernel_version> directory, run
|
|
|
175f9a |
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" to add it to firmware directory
|
|
|
175f9a |
where microcode will be available for late microcode update, and run
|
|
|
175f9a |
"dracut -f --kver <kernel_version>", so initramfs for this kernel version
|
|
|
175f9a |
is regenerated and the microcode can be loaded early, for example:
|
|
|
175f9a |
|
|
|
175f9a |
touch /lib/firmware/3.10.0-862.9.1/force-intel-06-55-04
|
|
|
175f9a |
/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode
|
|
|
175f9a |
dracut -f --kver 3.10.0-862.9.1
|
|
|
175f9a |
|
|
|
175f9a |
After that, it is possible to perform a late microcode update by executing
|
|
|
175f9a |
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/reload_microcode" or by writing value "1" to
|
|
|
175f9a |
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload" directly.
|
|
|
175f9a |
|
|
|
175f9a |
To enforce addition of this microcode for all kernels, please create file
|
|
|
175f9a |
"/etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/force-intel-06-55-04", run
|
|
|
175f9a |
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" for enabling late microcode updates,
|
|
|
175f9a |
and "dracut -f --regenerate-all" for enabling early microcode updates:
|
|
|
175f9a |
|
|
|
175f9a |
mkdir -p /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats
|
|
|
175f9a |
touch /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/force-intel-06-55-04
|
|
|
175f9a |
/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode
|
|
|
175f9a |
dracut -f --regenerate-all
|
|
|
175f9a |
|
|
|
175f9a |
Please refer to /usr/share/doc/microcode_ctl/README.caveats for additional
|
|
|
175f9a |
information.
