amd64-microcode (2.20141028.1) unstable; urgency=medium
This release drops support for automatically applying microcode updates
without a reboot. The microcode updates can still be applied without a
reboot through manual action of the system administrator.
This is a defensive measure. At this time, there are no reported
issues caused by the AMD microcode update itself when done outside of
the boot process.
However, updating only on boot works around a very elusive issue in
the Linux kernel microcode update driver for AMD processors, which
may or may not have been fixed in the latest stable/long-term
kernels.
It is now possible to configure how the amd64-microcode package should
behave through the /etc/default/amd64-microcode file. By default, it
will install microcode update support to the initramfs only when
running in a system with an AMD processor.
