Holy fucking bloat. This is part of your boot firmware. Absolutely disgusting.

I just installed this

That package actually has like 96 firmware blobs for all the Intel processors.

Goodbye hyperthreading? Sad...

Also, fuck intel patchs!

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="pti=off spectre_v2=off l1tf=off nospec_store_bypass_disable no_stf_barrier"

Can the retards at Intel not create firmware packages that work across all CPUs? These fucking faggots make CISC shit and none of their firmware is cross-compatible.

The OpenVMS definition of CPU architectures was a mistake.

>1.2 MB microcode patch
what the FUCK

>using a CPU from 2011
>time to update
>CPU from 2018 is only 1GHZ faster, only has 2 extra threads
>more expensive than the other when it was new
>thankfully intel supports their products with patches
>patches that cumulativley together reduce the performance of your cpu over 50%
>brand new CPU in 2018 is now performing worse than a CPU from 2011
>the only other option is to run everything else with ring0 access
WEW FUCKING LAD

delet this fucking nazi

I don't understand
If I apply this upgrade will my system be permanently slowed down, even if I use another OS?

Dont browse the internet with that config

>not wanting the Forcefully Unmap Complete Kernel with Interrupt Trampolines patch

Nah, i'm browsing without problems. :)
What is this?

for some reason l1tf=off does nothing for me

You'll be fine using DOS

No, microcode patches are applied on boot. They're not persistent.

That is microcode for every Intel CPU.

Fuck off Theo

LOL fucking sad
>we can't use RISC it's too hard to code
>still can't fucking code it

Forcefully Unmap Complete Kernel With Interrupt Trampolines. Or, FUCKWIT, for short. The name officially chosen for the patch is KPTI, or Kernel Page-Table Isolation, but FUCKWIT was a candidate.

You do know what microcode is, right? It isn't in x86 code. It's similar to RISC but dealing in internal things in the CPU. All instructions are implemented in microcode.

CPUs in one generation or group will share the same microcode. But different generations need different microcode because they have different parts internally.

It is somewhat analogous to why Windows XP and Windows 98 can't use the same drivers.

i had to wait until this one for the lastest spectre fixes because i'm running the 7700HQ instead of the 7700/7700k because apparently they are so different

What is that?
