Description

This port uses the cpuctl(4) microcode update facility to keep your Intel processor's firmware up-to-date.

Updating your microcode can help to mitigate certain potential security vulnerabilities in CPUs as well as address certain functional issues that could, for example, result in unpredictable system behavior such as hangs, crashes, unexpected reboots, data errors, etc.

Revert "sysutils/cpu-microcode-intel: Handle extended signature tables"

This reverts a change to the way Intel CPU microcode files were split. In d4b93e8846, an explicitly named file was written for each signature+platform combination in an image's extended signature table. Writing these new files offered discoverability advantages, but it was unnecessary since cpucontrol(8) already checks the embedded extended signature table. Moreover, adding these extra files increased the size of the split files by about 50% when the default SPLIT knob was enabled. This reverts commit d4b93e88468975e64d6321cfc463f5fc19f46d35.
