As far as I'm aware AMD has not directly released any public microcode |
| 7 |
fixes to address spectre (AMD is not vulnerable to meltdown). They've |
| 8 |
apparently given something to motherboard manufacturers, who may or may not |
| 9 |
be putting microcode updates into firmware updates. |

I think I already commented recently that I'm not particularly happy with |
| 12 |
AMD's level of documentation around their microcode, or the way they |
| 13 |
release updates. |

As far as I'm aware linux-firmware hasn't received any spectre-related AMD |
| 16 |
microcode updates. There may be important non-spectre-related updates in |
| 17 |
there, however. I couldn't tell you for sure because I can't find any |
| 18 |
clear documentation as to what the AMD microcode updates in linux-firmware |
| 19 |
actually do. |
