** Summary changed: - upgrade amd64-microcode with new microcode & better initramfs hook + upgrade amd64-microcode with new microcode for 17h family
** Description changed: - upgrade amd64-microcode with new microcode & better initramfs hook - [Impact] - * New microcode is available - - * It is hard to generate initrd, with all microcodes included because the initramfs hook ignores - preset defaults. Adjust hook to take preset defaults into account. + * New microcode is available [Test Case] - * There is no testcase for new microcode, as it is unknown what has + * There is no testcase for new microcode, as it is unknown what has changed. - - * Install new package, and check that initrd with default settings (i.e. modules=most) has amd64 - microcode included. And that with modules=dep|list it only does so, if one is on AMD cpu. - - * Install initramfs-tools-ubuntu-core from snap image PPA, the resulting initrd should contian - both amd64 and intel microcode, despite using modules=list, due to the conf.d default settings - it overrides. [Regression Potential] - * New microcode is published without a changelog, thus it is unknown what it fixes or regresses, - yet it is recommeded to upgrade it. The 17h family microcode has been updated, almost doubling in size. - - * The hook default behaviour is not changed, only integration with - custom conf.d's is improved. - - * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered, - and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU. + * New microcode is published without a changelog, thus it is unknown what it fixes or regresses, + yet it is recommeded to upgrade it. The 17h family microcode has been updated, almost doubling in size.
