MIR: Main Inclusion Report intel-microcode (multiverse -> restricted)
[Availability]
* Available from multiverse for i386 amd64 architectures
[Rationale]
* intel-microcode package installs and performs early loading of Intel CPU microcodes to update and rectify CPU bugs, in the field, post general availability.
* Also see request to install intel-microcode by default, when Intel CPUs are detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/1386257
* This would help to mitigate bugs in the field, for example, like the recent Errata that prompted to disable TSX on certain line of CPUs.
[Security]
* intel-microcode are essentially firmware blobs that are loaded onto compatible CPUs. It's had/impossible to inspect the blobs themselves, thus this package is multiverse, and requested to move into restricted. From packaging point of view, it simply ships an initramfs-tools hook.
[QA]
* Package requires no further configuration after installation.
* Package does not deal with exotic hardware, on the contrary Intel CPUs have a large/majority market share of the i386/amd64 Ubuntu ports.
* Dependencies iucode-tool is required, which is also requested to move into restricted. |
