Re: amd64: svs
It looks like two of the Dell machines I use have BIOS updates that
include the new microcode, but I don't know when it'll be available for
the other machines I use. The standalone microcode update at
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27337/Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-File
is dated 20171117, and from what I've read, does not contain the latest
changes.
FWIW, Intel updated their microcode on 8-Jan-2018:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27431/
I can't find any documentation which shows what exactly is fixed for each
family of processors.
I'm not updating my BIOSes for now because using intel-microcode-netbsd
package lets me easily make before-and-after comparisons. Plus, many of
the BIOS updates I've seen don't say what Intel updates they use - you
have to run cpuctl yourself afterwards to see...
