Changelog
intel-microcode (3.20160714.1~deb8u1) stable; urgency=medium
* Rebuild for Debian jessie stable update (no changes)
* STABLE RELEASE MANAGER INFORMATION:
+ This is the same package which is in unstable since 2016-07-22,
and stretch (testing) and jessie-backports since 2016-07-28,
with no issues reported
+ Contains updated microcode for:
Skylake/H/DT, Broadwell/E/EP/H/DE/WS, Haswell/E/WS/EP/EX, and their
usual variants (U/ULT,Y,S...): mobile, desktop, embedded, single-
and dual-socket server/workstation. Also includes related Pentium
and Celeron
+ Somewhat unusually, this release includes an update for the
multi-socket Haswell-EX E7-v3 Xeon server processors
+ Fixes critical issues on Intel Skylake processors, such as:
- TSX unpredictable behavior
- AVX data/calculation corruption
- High-hitting crashes and hangs related to MCEs and power
management errata that might make it impossible to even install
Debian in the first place (systems with very outdated firmware)
+ Likely fixes a recently identified, critical but low-hitting TSX
erratum on Broadwell, Broadwell-E and related Xeons
(Broadwell-DE/WS/EP: Xeon-D 1500, E3-v4 and E5-v4)
+ Fix Broadwell-DE (Xeon-D 1500) errata (incomplete list):
Stepping V-1: BDE58, BDE56, BDE55, BDE50, BDE44, BDE41, BDE38,
BDE10, BDE9, BDE8, BDE7
Stepping Y-0: LAN1, BDE67, BDE68
+ Might fix Haswell-EP Xeon E5-v3 power management regression
which is already present in the packages currently in jessie
(#815990)
+ Fixes undisclosed errata on Xeon E7-v3 48xx/88xx
