https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D262933 Bug ID: 262933 Summary: cpucontrol: incorrect detection of Intel CPU revision - wrong microcode file selected Product: Base System Version: 13.0-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: moon300web@gmx.net This report is likely related to: Bug 192487 - cpucontrol uses unsafe procedure to detect current microcode version, which status' was set to Closed - fixed. (Note that I took over the "Severity/Hardware/OS" entries from that bug.) I'm updating my laptop's microcode as follows pkg install devcpu-data-intel vi /etc/loader.conf cpu_microcode_load=3D"YES" cpu_microcode_name=3D"/boot/firmware/06-8e-0c" (06-8e-0c downloaded from https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files/tree/ma= in/intel-ucode) This seems to work: dmesg | grep -C 4 microcode VT-x: PAT,HLT,MTF,PAUSE,EPT,UG,VPID TSC: P-state invariant, performance statistics real memory =3D 8589934592 (8192 MB) avail memory =3D 7844245504 (7480 MB) CPU microcode: updated from 0xea to 0xec <---- System runs BIOS version 1.75, version 0xea, which is updated Event timer "LAPIC" quality 600 ACPI APIC Table: <LENOVO TP-N2I > FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 8 CPUs FreeBSD/SMP: 1 package(s) x 4 core(s) x 2 hardware threads cpupdate -i=20 Found CPU(s) from Intel Core 0 to 7: CPUID: 806ec Fam 06 Mod 8e Step 0c Flag 80 uCode 000000ec If cpucontrol is run manually it seems to try and load an incorrect microco= de file: cpucontrol -vv -u /dev/cpuctl0=20 cpucontrol: found cpu type 0 family 0x6 model 0xe stepping 0xc. .. /usr/local/share/cpucontrol/06-86-05.01: updating cpu /dev/cpuctl0 from r= ev 0xec to rev 0xb00000f... failed. <---- incorrect file! cpucontrol: ioctl(): File exists .. cpucontrol: skipping /usr/local/share/cpucontrol/06-8e-0c.94 of rev 0xea:= up to date .. cpucontrol: skipping /usr/local/share/cpucontrol/06-8e-0c of rev 0xec: up= to date There still seems to be something wrong in the detection of Intel CPU revis= ion on FreeBSD 13.0.
