On my FX-8150, previous update was:

May 21 07:05:16 lab microcode_update[1093]: /usr/local/share/cpucontrol/microcode_amd_fam15h.bin: updating cpu /dev/cpuctl0 to revision 0x600063d... done.

With this update:

May 22 11:23:29 lab microcode_update[38938]: /usr/local/share/cpucontrol/microcode_amd_fam15h.bin: updating cpu /dev/cpuctl0 to revision 0x600063e... done.

∴sudo service microcode_update restart
Updating CPU Microcode...
Done.

I see nothing on the console.

I see nothing in /var/log/messages when attempting to apply the update to:

CPU: AMD A10-8700P Radeon R6, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G (1796.66-MHz K8-class CPU)
  Origin="AuthenticAMD"  Id=0x660f01  Family=0x15  Model=0x60  Stepping=1

Haven't dug into it yet.

On a AMD Threadripper 1900X I see "microcode updating..." and output of the CPU information. On a Carrizo APU, I see "microcode updating..." and "done", nothing else. How to check it DTRT?

If it did anything, its logged to /var/log/messages. Search for "microcode_update"

You can also try x86info -a | grep Microcode before/after to confirm. In my case on an old FX-6100 I see Microcode patch level: 0x6000613 before and Microcode patch level: 0x600063d after (using the current devcpu-data package, not this patch).

On my AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X I see Microcode patch level: 0x8001127 before and after trying the microcode in this review (i.e., the new microcode_amd_fam17h.bin either does not contain microcode for Threadripper, or is not getting applied).

I have yet to get a report of any "17h" machine ever updating. This concerns me a bit.

Trying out some debugging here. Can someone apply this patch
https://people.freebsd.org/~sbruno/cpucontrol.diff.txt

And send me the results of something like the following? I put the amd microcode files in a seperate dir and *removed* the devcpu-data port as cpucontrol will *always* look at /usr/local/share/cpucontrol if it exists.

I get the same output, i.e., "CPU is not found in the equivalence table" for all files.

Can you post the detection output for your CPU? I assume you have a 17h here, but I'm not sure. Something like this would be interesting to see.

Hrm. I guess this *is* working, at least for the EPYC I have at work.

With previous microcode files:

I sure wish I could fine someone running a 17h that actually applies this update. :-(

cpucontrol print on multiple input files could be a lot more clear :(. I disambiguated it by copying fam17h to its own directory:

$ mkdir tmp
$ cp -a work/stage/usr/local/share/cpucontrol/microcode_amd_fam17h.bin tmp
$ sudo cpucontrol -vvv -n -d ./tmp -u /dev/cpuctl0

Nothing in /var/log/messages. Patch level is 0x8001129 per x86info.

This is on TR (fam 17h). Does that help? :-)

Hrm... Can you run it with my diff for more debugging goodness? https://people.freebsd.org/~sbruno/cpucontrol.diff.txt

Given "firmware processort_rev_id 8012, equiv_id 8011," I think this "fam17h" firmware is only for Epyc. IIRC that was true of the earlier Meltdown/Spectre microcodes too. They expect consumer CPUs to get this update via BIOS, I think?

My spider sense is tingling as well.

cpucontrol's probe finds family 0x17 ...

Can you instead try D155745

Seems reasonable to me. Thanks for digging in.

No, 15h. Using the latest diffs here and in D15574, I get:
