Bug Description

From time to time, CPU vendors release updates to microcode that can be loaded into the CPU from the OS. For x86, we have these updates available in the archive as amd64-microcode and intel-microcode.

Sometimes, these microcode updates have addressed security issues with the CPU. They almost certainly will again in the future.

We should ensure that all users of Ubuntu on baremetal x86 receive these security updates, and have them applied to the CPU in early boot where at all feasible.

Because these are hardware-dependent packages which we don't want to install except on baremetal (so: not in VMs or containers), the logical place to pull them into the system is via the kernel, so that only the kernel baremetal flavors pull them in. This is analogous to linux-firmware, which is already a dependency of the linux-image-{lowlatency,generic} metapackages, and whose contents are applied to the hardware by the kernel similar to microcode.

So, please update the linux-image-{lowlatency,generic} metapackages to add a dependency on amd64-microcode [amd64], intel-microcode [amd64], and the corresponding hwe metapackages also.

Please time this change to coincide with the next updates of the microcode packages in the archive.

I believe we will also need to promote the *-microcode packages to main from restricted as part of this (again, by analogy with linux-firmware).

Um, excuse me. When I check the updates on my Ubuntu Trusty machine, I found out it now asks for new install of the amd64-microcode package. May I ask why? My CPU is not AMD's but Intel's, and it seems that amd64-microcode had no use for me. Why does the linux-image-generic package hard depend on it?

This way when I have linux-image-generic just for wish for the kernel update, a useless package is installed on me. I mean, wouldn't that be better if linux-image-generic just "Recommends" the microcode package, without "Depending" on it?

Agree with Explorer09. Why are my Intel systems now getting AMD microcode packages and why are my AMD systems getting Intel microcode packages?? This is a bug.

I would rather it see that I already have one of them installed that matches my CPU and call it good. If that isn't an option, then just a recommends.

In the meantime, I just blocked these meta packages from updating on my systems.

Thanks.

This is particularly annoying for me too.

All of my virtual machines use linux-image-generic because I need linux-image-extra to get the i6300esb watchdog driver for the KVM watchdog. This change forces the amd64-microcode and intel-microcode packages to be installed on all of my VMs.

@rlaager, for the VM case, considering that QEMU/KVM only supports a few watchdog devices, I think it would make sense to ship this i6300esb driver in linux-image-virtual directly.

This microcode forced update bricked my Samsung APU until I could flash the bios back using DOS to a clear flag state. This should be down-graded until better ucode tools are available. It fails on AMD-K1-1500 APU and AMD-A12 with Radeon ATI GPUs. I was forced to downgrade to x32-bit machine just to fix this. It also locks up the USB-ports making them unusable for reboot over USB. This leaves most users confused. (amd64 ucode 3.20180524.1) why is this update also on my Intel machines?
