Prior to this update, sysutils/devcpu-data, which only contained an RC script, had run dependencies on the AMD and Intel microcode ports. This made it cumbersome to have just the AMD or just the Intel microcode ports installed. With this change, the microcode ports now depend on the RC script. Other changes: - Use more intuitive port names: cpu-microcode, cpu-microcode-amd, cpu-microcode-intel, and cpu-microcode-rc. - Add the metaport, cpu-microcode, which pulls in all related ports. - Pet portclippy/portfmt Reviewed by: lwhsu, markj Approved by: sbruno (maintainer) Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D41406

This port uses the cpuctl(4) microcode update facility to keep your Intel
|
|
processor's firmware up-to-date.
|
|
|
|
Updating your microcode can help to mitigate certain potential security
|
|
vulnerabilities in CPUs as well as address certain functional issues that could,
|
|
for example, result in unpredictable system behavior such as hangs, crashes,
|
|
unexpected reboots, data errors, etc.
