13 [I] Intel Microcode Update Utility
15 [T] The microcode_ctl utility is a companion to the IA32 microcode driver
16 [T] written by Tigran Aivazian <tigran@veritas.com>. The utility has two uses:
18 [T] * it decodes and sends new microcode to the kernel driver to be uploaded
19 [T] to Intel IA32 processors. (Pentium Pro, PII, PIII, Pentium 4, Celeron,
20 [T] Xeon etc - all P6 and above, which does NOT include pentium classics).
21 [T] It also supports processors of the x86_64 architecture.
22 [T] * it signals the kernel driver to release any buffers it may hold
24 [T] The microcode update is volatile and needs to be uploaded on each system
25 [T] boot i.e. it doesn't reflash your cpu permanently, reboot and it reverts
26 [T] back to the old microcode.
