  16. [I] Intel Microcode Update Utility
  17. [T] The microcode_ctl utility is a companion to the IA32 microcode driver
  18. [T] written by Tigran Aivazian <tigran@veritas.com>. The utility has two uses:
  19. [T]
  20. [T] * it decodes and sends new microcode to the kernel driver to be uploaded
  21. [T] to Intel IA32 processors. (Pentium Pro, PII, PIII, Pentium 4, Celeron,
  22. [T] Xeon etc - all P6 and above, which does NOT include pentium classics).
  23. [T] It also supports processors of the x86_64 architecture.
  24. [T] * it signals the kernel driver to release any buffers it may hold
  25. [T]
  26. [T] The microcode update is volatile and needs to be uploaded on each system
  27. [T] boot i.e. it doesn't reflash your cpu permanently, reboot and it reverts
  28. [T] back to the old microcode.
