https://reviews.freebsd.org/D13832 <--- test this update I'd like to get some feedback from AMD cpu users on this update. I've restructured and undone a few things that may have been keeping folks using this port from getting their runtime cpu microcode updates. After installing the port, grab your microcode version via sysutils/x86info. If you don't see an update, that only means there is no update available for your system. x86info -a | grep Microcode Run the microcode_update and repeat. Check /var/log/messages for a notification that the code was updated. You should be able to get something like the following for your system if it executed an update: root_at_lab:/home/sbruno # x86info -a | grep "CPU Model" CPU Model (x86info's best guess): AMD FX Series Processor (OR-B2) root_at_lab:/home/sbruno # x86info -a | grep Microcode Microcode patch level: 0x6000629 root_at_lab:/home/sbruno # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/microcode_update onestart Updating CPU Microcode... Done. root_at_lab:/home/sbruno # x86info -a | grep Microcode Microcode patch level: 0x600063d root_at_lab:/home/sbruno # grep microcode_update /var/log/messages Jan 10 16:52:26 lab microcode_update: /usr/local/share/cpucontrol/microcode_amd_fam15h.bin: updating cpu /dev/cpuctl0 to revision 0x600063d... done.
