Blob Blame History Raw
The microcode for Broadwell-EP/EX (BDX-ML B/M/R0, family 6, model 79,
stepping 1) processors requires a kernel with special commits present,
otherwise it might result in unexpected system behaviour.  In order
to handle this, /usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode script creates
necessary symlinks to make it available on kernels with the aforementioned
patches present.

If you want to avoid adding this ucode for a specific kernel, please create
a disallow-06-4f-01 file inside /lib/firmware/<kernel_version> directory:

    touch /lib/firmware/3.10.0-862.9.1/disallow-06-4f-01

If you want to skip processing of this firmware for all kernels, please create
a disallow-06-4f-01 file inside /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats directory:

    touch /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/disallow-06-4f-01

If you want avoid removal of the ucode file during cleanup, please remove the
corresponding readme file.
