| Some Intel Skylake CPU models (SKL-U/Y, family 6, model 78, stepping 3)
 | |
| have reports of system hangs when revision 0xdc of microcode, that is included
 | |
| since microcode-20200609 update to address CVE-2020-0543, CVE-2020-0548,
 | |
| and CVE-2020-0549, is applied[1].  In order to address this, microcode update
 | |
| to the newer revision has been disabled by default on these systems,
 | |
| and the previously published microcode revision 0xd6 is used by default
 | |
| for the OS-driven microcode update.

| The information regarding enforcing microcode update is provided below.
 | |
| 
 | |
| To enforce usage of the latest 06-4e-03 microcode revision for a specific kernel
 | |
| version, please create a file "force-intel-06-4e-03" inside
 | |
| /lib/firmware/<kernel_version> directory, run
 | |
| "/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" to add it to firmware directory
 | |
| where microcode will be available for late microcode update, and run
 | |
| "dracut -f --kver <kernel_version>", so initramfs for this kernel version
 | |
| is regenerated and the microcode can be loaded early, for example:
 | |
| 
 | |
|     touch /lib/firmware/3.10.0-862.9.1/force-intel-06-4e-03
 | |
|     /usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode
 | |
|     dracut -f --kver 3.10.0-862.9.1
 | |
| 
 | |
| After that, it is possible to perform a late microcode update by executing
 | |
| "/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/reload_microcode" or by writing value "1" to
 | |
| "/sys/devices/system/cpu/microcode/reload" directly.
 | |
| 
 | |
| To enforce addition of this microcode for all kernels, please create file
 | |
| "/etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/force-intel-06-4e-03", run
 | |
| "/usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode" for enabling late microcode updates,
 | |
| and "dracut -f --regenerate-all" for enabling early microcode updates:
 | |
| 
 | |
|     mkdir -p /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats
 | |
|     touch /etc/microcode_ctl/ucode_with_caveats/force-intel-06-4e-03
 | |
|     /usr/libexec/microcode_ctl/update_ucode
 | |
|     dracut -f --regenerate-all
 | |
| 
 | |
| Please refer to /usr/share/doc/microcode_ctl/README.caveats for additional
 | |
| information.
