This is bad. And it is a first, too. IF you can test this safely, could you check what happens when this new microcode update is applied during boot? There are two scenarios: early initramfs (available for kernels 3.10 and above), and normal initramfs. It would be really helpful to know what happens in both scenarios. You can select which one will happen by: WARNING: please have a backup initramfs image (with the previous microcode) handy, so that you can tell grub to use it instead: cd /boot cp working initramfs working initramfs.safe After that: 1. edit /etc/default/intel-microcode with a text editor, change the config to IUCODE_TOOL_INITRAMFS=yes (to test regular initramfs), and IUCODE_TOOL_INITRAMFS=early(to test early initramfs). 2. regenerate the initramfs, with: update-initramfs -u 3. reboot 4. check boot logs for badness (trap invalid opcode). 5. change IUCODE_TOOL_INITRAMFS= to the other option, and do pass 2-4 again.

On Wed, 17 Sep 2014, Felix Geyer wrote: Both yes and early work fine. Thank you. That helps immensely! At least now we have an easy possible workaround: blacklist a few cpuids in the package postinst from a runtime update, or drop runtime update entirely and always require a reboot. However when I set IUCODE_TOOL_INITRAMFS=no, update the initramfs, reboot and then reinstall intel-microcode I get the same trap invalid opcode. I guess no processes that use libpthread run during early boot when the microcode update is applied. Felix, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, maybe you could attach a copy of /proc/cpuinfo with microcode 0x1c (the new one), and one with either microcode 0x16 (no microcode update at all), or with microcode 0x1a (the previous release of intel-microcode) to this bug report? It would be necessary to reboot between the microcode changes in that case and use the early initramfs mode, so that we can be sure the flags line in /proc/cpuinfo will be correct (it is set at boot time, and will not be updated by a microcode update). You can use the early initramfs update mode, which is always safer. It would be also nice to know what instructions are trapping, and get Intel enginers to look at it. I will leave that for the Canonical Intel team, as they can contact Intel directly: I don't have that kind of access to Intel engineers... For the record, we have these scenarios: cpuid 0x306c3, platform flags 0x02: Microcode 0x16 to 0x1c, early mode and initramfs: OK online: FAIL Microcode 0x16 to 0x1a, early mode and initramfs: OK online: OK Microcode 0x1a to 0x1c, early mode and initramfs: N/A online: FAIL FAIL: processor generates spurious invalid opcode traps on libpthread. -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.

It looks like this is the microcode update that disables TSX where it is broken. The hle flag is removed from cpuinfo flags (see attached cpuinfo files). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1370352 Title: [Feature] Intel new CPU microcode 20140913 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/intel/+bug/1370352/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I thought as much. Also, let me guess: if you update in IUCODE_TOOL_INITRAMFS=yes, the hle flag doesn't disappear. It also explains the illegal opcode exceptions if libpthread-2.19 is using Intel TSX for lock elision... which looks likely. Note that even if hle was removed from the processor flags, it would still crash running processes. -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
