.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
|
|
Where to look for microcode images.
|
|
The option can be specified multiple times.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar msr Ns Op = Ns Ar value
|
|
Read/write the specified MSR.
|
|
Both the MSR and the value should be given as a hex number.
|
|
.It Fl i Ar level
|
|
Retrieve CPUID info.
|
|
Level should be given as a hex number.
|
|
.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
|

|
|
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 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 -d /usr/local/share/cpuctl/ -u /dev/cpuctl0"
