Re: [PATCH 1/1] Update AMD cpu microcode for family 15h

Hi again, Here is a short summary of what is missing in the microcode containers [1] [2]. I only included AMD family 15h and 17h. Similar could be done for Intel CPUs. I do believe having a latest microcode is a vital for the userspace security because it provides IBPB barrier. Family 15h

Hi Sherry, Many thanks for your efforts. Are there any technical restriction(s) of why the OS bundled updates are not the latest available version? I think we can't count much on hardware vendors to release microcode updates in the BIOS in the timely manner. I also think especially for older

Hi Sherry, Any news on this please? It seems we still miss updated microcode for certain fam15h/16h for Linux. Thanks Rudolf Dne 1.6.2018 v 00:05 Henrique de Moraes Holschuh napsal(a): > On Wed, 30 May 2018, Ivan Ivanov wrote: >> This is still not addressing the outdated 15h microcode version

This is still not addressing the outdated 15h microcode version issue that Rudolf Marek has pointed out. Also, we still hope to see an updated microcode for 16h architecture as well - it has not received any updates for two years already Best regards, Ivan Ivanov 2018-05-25 15:10 GMT+03:00 Josh
