iucode-tool 2.0-1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
iucode-tool (2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release: + This new major version has several non-backwards-compatible changes. Scripts that scrape iucode_tool's stdout/stderr messages might have to be updated, and the behavior for -s and -S options changed. + The microcode listing output format used by --list and --list-all changed: the processor flags mask field is now labeled "pf_mask" instead of "pf mask", and the first field (bundle id/microcode id) is wider for --list-all, and completely changed for --list (refer to next entry). + The output for the --list option now uses the same microcode numbering used in --list-all and error messages, and also the same indentation as --list-all. For this reason, --list will output the bundle assignment list to stdout when not in --quiet mode, the same way --list-all does. + The --scan-system/-S option can now only be specified once, and it may be overridden by -s !<signature> options that come +after* it in command line ordering. To emulate the previous behavior, always specify --scan-system just once, and as the last option (i.e. after any -s options). + Error and warning messages, as well as some verbose (and debug) messages were updated, and some of them were demoted to higher verbosity levels. + Other relevant changes since v1.6.1: + Microcodes are now sorted by signature (ascending) and processor flags mask (descending). Before, microcodes with the same signature but different processor flags mask had unspecified ordering. + The .dat format loader was optimized to run a lot faster on files that match the Intel layout exactly, and improved its error detection. + iucode_tool now flushes output data files to permanent storage using fdatasync() before closing them, to better detect write errors. This causes a performance hit, but it is much safer. + Fix large file support (LFS) on 32-bit builds. + Abort with an error when attempting to write more than 4GiB to a cpio (early initramfs) archive, due to a limitation of that cpio file format. -- Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <email address hidden> Mon, 12 Sep 2016 20:17:39 -0300
