Summary Intel processor microcode update utility
Bugs to jedahan@gmail.com
Description The microcode_ctl utility has two uses: * it decodes and sends new microcode to the kernel driver to be uploaded to Intel IA32 processors. (Pentium Pro, PII, PIII, Pentium 4, Celeron, Xeon etc - all P6 and above, which does NOT include pentium classics). It also supports processors of the x86_64 architecture. * it signals the kernel driver to release any buffers it may hold
