Changelog
amd64-microcode (3.20160316.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Bump major version number to 3: early-initramfs support
* Support is now restricted to Linux kernel 3.14 and later. For older
kernels, please use the version 2 (older) branch of the package.
* Implement early-initramfs mode, and remove normal mode
* debian/control: add versioned recommends for initramfs-tools and
dracut. Note that dracut 044 is required for Linux 4.4 and later,
otherwise dracut 040 would be enough
* debian/default: add early mode, remove normal mode from comments
* initramfs hook: use cpio to generate an early-initramfs with
microcode for all processors, blacklist kernels older than 3.14,
and remove normal mode support.
* initramfs.init-premount: remove, not needed for early-initramfs
* debian/rules: don't install init-premount initramfs script.
* initramfs.hook: detect a missing microcode.ko and don't attempt to
force_load() it. In verbose mode, log when the microcode driver is
modular. For Linux 4.4 and later, skip the module loading logic
(closes: #809444)
* README.Debian: update for early initramfs support, and add information
on how to disable early updates using the dis_ucode_ldr kernel boot
parameter
* Support for x32 was enabled in debian/control for the 2.20160316.1
upload, but the changelog did not record this by mistake. The missing
entry was retroactively added to debian/changelog by this upload
