Hi all.
Sorry, missed that at first glance. It actually looks like CPU should be
patched only once because if you reboot it without turning system off
next run shows that nothing should be done.
There's also no sentence or link directly mentioning or referring to
microcode update process. Maybe we should include at least one (in
files/pkg-message.in I suppose)?
Probably like this:
===> IMPORTANT NOTE:
To set up microcode updates you need to alter one of the following:
/etc/rc.conf
/etc/rc.conf.local
Add the following line to enable:
microcode_update_enable="YES"
You can see this file for a full option list:
%%LOCALBASE%%/etc/rc.d/microcode_update
Note that any changes to CPU microcodes are temporary and would wear off
on cold reboot. You can consult
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/microcode for a complete description.
