Mention new -n flag. Remove optional -h from the operation list lines, -h would cause the utility to exit without performing the action. Explain the default path behavior, list default path. Correct example of update performed from the non-default path, it needs -n and the trailing slash is redundand. Remove useless BUGS section. Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation MFC after: 1 week

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility can be used to read and write arbitrary machine-specific
|
|
CPU registers via the
|
|
.Xr cpuctl 4
|
|
special device.
|
|
It can also be used to apply CPU firmware updates.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl d Ar datadir
|
|
Directory paths where to look for microcode images.
|
|
The option can be specified multiple times.
|
|
The paths are added in order of the options appearance on the command
|
|
line, default directories are appended after the user-supplied paths.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Do not look for the microcode images in the standard directories.
|
|
Currently standard directory to look for the microcode update files is
|
|
.Pa /usr/local/share/cpucontrol .
|
|
.It Fl m Ar msr
|
|
Show value of the specified MSR.
|
|
MSR register number should be given as a hexadecimal number.
|
|
The high word is printed first, then the low word is printed second.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar msr Ns = Ns Ar value
|
|
Store the
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
in the specified MSR register.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
argument can be prefixed with ~ operator.
|
|
In this case the inverted value of argument will be stored in the register.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar msr Ns &= Ns Ar mask
|
|
Store the result of bitwise AND operation between
|
|
.Ar mask
|
|
and the current MSR value in the MSR register.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar mask
|
|
argument can be prefixed with ~ operator.
|
|
In this case the inverted value of mask will be used.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar msr Ns |= Ns Ar mask
|
|
Store the result of bitwise OR operation between
|
|
.Ar mask
|
|
and the current MSR value in the MSR register.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar mask
|
|
argument can be prefixed with ~ operator.
|
|
In this case the inverted value of mask will be used.
|
|
.It Fl i Ar level
|
|
Retrieve CPUID info.
|
|
Level should be given as a hex number.
|
|
.It Fl i Ar level,level_type
|
|
Retrieve CPUID info.
|
|
Level and level_type should be given as hex numbers.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Apply CPU firmware updates.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility will walk through the configured data directories
|
|
and apply all firmware updates available for this CPU.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Increase the verbosity level.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Show help message.
|
|

|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The command
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dq Li "cpucontrol -m 0x10 /dev/cpuctl0"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will read the contents of TSC MSR from CPU 0.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To set the CPU 0 TSC MSR register value to 0x1 issue
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dq Li "cpucontrol -m 0x10=0x1 /dev/cpuctl0" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following command will clear the second bit of TSC register:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dq Li "cpucontrol -m 0x10&=~0x02 /dev/cpuctl0" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following command will set the forth and second bit of TSC register:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dq Li "cpucontrol -m 0x10|=0x0a /dev/cpuctl0" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The command
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dq Li "cpucontrol -i 0x1 /dev/cpuctl1"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will retrieve the CPUID level 0x1 from CPU 1.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To perform firmware updates on CPU 0 from images located at
|
|
.Pa /usr/local/share/cpuctl
|
|
use the following command:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dq Li "cpucontrol -nd /usr/local/share/cpuctl -u /dev/cpuctl0"
