Some Intel Tiger Lake-UP3/UP4 CPU models (TGL, family 6, model 140, stepping 1)
|
|
|
96af4f |
have reports of system hangs when a microcode update, that is included
|
|
|
96af4f |
since microcode-20201110 update, is applied[1]. In order to address this,
|
|
|
96af4f |
microcode update has been disabled by default on these systems.

Please contact your system vendor for a BIOS/firmware update that contains
|
|
|
96af4f |
the latest microcode version.

The information regarding enforcing microcode update is provided below.
|
|
|

|
|
|
96af4f |
To enforce usage of the latest 06-8c-01 microcode revision for a specific kernel
|
|
|
96af4f |
version, please create a file "force-intel-06-8c-01" inside
|
|
|
96af4f |
/lib/firmware/<kernel_version> directory, run
|
|
|
96af4f |
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" to add it to firmware directory
|
|
|
96af4f |
where microcode will be available for late microcode update, and run
|
|
|
96af4f |
"dracut -f --kver <kernel_version>", so initramfs for this kernel version
|
|
|
96af4f |
is regenerated and the microcode can be loaded early, for example:
|
|
|
96af4f |
|
|
|
96af4f |
touch /lib/firmware/3.10.0-862.9.1/force-intel-06-8c-01
|
|
|
96af4f |
/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode
|
|
|
96af4f |
dracut -f --kver 3.10.0-862.9.1
|
|
|
96af4f |
|
|
|
96af4f |
After that, it is possible to perform a late microcode update by executing
|
|
|
96af4f |
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/reload_microcode" or by writing value "1" to
|
|
|
96af4f |
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload" directly.
|
|
|
96af4f |
|
|
|
96af4f |
To enforce addition of this microcode for all kernels, please create file
|
|
|
96af4f |
"/etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/force-intel-06-8c-01", run
|
|
|
96af4f |
"/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" for enabling late microcode updates,
|
|
|
96af4f |
and "dracut -f --regenerate-all" for enabling early microcode updates:
|
|
|
96af4f |
|
|
|
96af4f |
mkdir -p /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats
|
|
|
96af4f |
touch /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/force-intel-06-8c-01
|
|
|
96af4f |
/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode
|
|
|
96af4f |
dracut -f --regenerate-all
|
|
|
96af4f |
|
|
|
96af4f |
Please refer to /usr/share/doc/microcode_ctl/README.caveats for additional
|
|
|
96af4f |
information.
