Some Intel Skylake CPU models (SKL-H/S/Xeon E3 v5, family 6, model 94,
|
|
|
27aa66 |
stepping 3) have reports of possible system hangs when revision 0xdc
|
|
|
27aa66 |
of microcode, that is included in microcode-20200609 update to address
|
|
|
27aa66 |
CVE-2020-0543, CVE-2020-0548, and CVE-2020-0549, is applied[1]. In order
|
|
|
27aa66 |
to address this, microcode update to the newer revision has been disabled
|
|
|
27aa66 |
by default on these systems, and the previously published microcode revision
|
|
|
27aa66 |
0xd6 is used by default for the OS-driven microcode update.

The information regarding enforcing microcode update is provided below.
|
|
|
27aa66 |
|
|
|
27aa66 |
To enforce usage of the latest 06-5e-03 microcode revision for a specific kernel
|
|
|
27aa66 |
version, please create a file "force-intel-06-5e-03" inside
|
|
|
27aa66 |
/lib/firmware/<kernel_version> directory, run
|
|
|
27aa66 |
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" to add it to firmware directory
|
|
|
27aa66 |
where microcode will be available for late microcode update, and run
|
|
|
27aa66 |
"dracut -f --kver <kernel_version>", so initramfs for this kernel version
|
|
|
27aa66 |
is regenerated and the microcode can be loaded early, for example:
|
|
|
27aa66 |
|
|
|
27aa66 |
touch /lib/firmware/3.10.0-862.9.1/force-intel-06-5e-03
|
|
|
27aa66 |
/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode
|
|
|
27aa66 |
dracut -f --kver 3.10.0-862.9.1
|
|
|
27aa66 |
|
|
|
27aa66 |
After that, it is possible to perform a late microcode update by executing
|
|
|
27aa66 |
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/reload_microcode" or by writing value "1" to
|
|
|
27aa66 |
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload" directly.
|
|
|
27aa66 |
|
|
|
27aa66 |
To enforce addition of this microcode for all kernels, please create file
|
|
|
27aa66 |
"/etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/force-intel-06-5e-03", run
|
|
|
27aa66 |
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" for enabling late microcode updates,
|
|
|
27aa66 |
and "dracut -f --regenerate-all" for enabling early microcode updates:
|
|
|
27aa66 |
|
|
|
27aa66 |
mkdir -p /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats
|
|
|
27aa66 |
touch /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/force-intel-06-5e-03
|
|
|
27aa66 |
/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode
|
|
|
27aa66 |
dracut -f --regenerate-all
|
|
|
27aa66 |
|
|
|
27aa66 |
Please refer to /usr/share/doc/microcode_ctl/README.caveats for additional
|
|
|
27aa66 |
information.
