That's because early in a CPUs lifecycle, microcode for the late
pre-production steppings are still included in the public repo, but
eventually dropped.

Alas, these deletions are documented as well as everything else is in
the changelog...

Sometimes Linux care about the pre-production steppings, other times we
don't.

Should this file reflect those deletions as well? As an example, if an
ancient part gets removed from the microcode repo, it may still be worth
for Linux to keep the record of its last microcode version.

<sigh>

There's even a "Removed Platforms" section in the microcode repo
changelogs that gets copied and pasted for each release. But it's not
consistently updated as platforms are removed.

But, thanks to the magic of git, we can just look for the removed files:

06-55-06
06-cf-01
06-8f-05
06-8f-06
06-ba-08
06-8f-04
06-86-04
06-86-05

.. that never came back in a later version. It might be a fun exercise
to run through those and see if any of them matter.

We could always reconstruct the .h file from *all* of the microcode
repo's git history. It's just scripting. But we better be doing it for a
real reason.

If folks have one of these preproduction CPUs, they've got much bigger
problems that being warned about old microcode. If we think it's the
kernel's job to tell folks about these, I'd rather it be some other
mechanism than the old_microcode one.

For instance, we could make a x86_cpu_id[] that lists these and taints
if they're ever seen.

So, let's just ignore this issue for now. I'm not convinced it's a
practical problem.

CLX B0 stepping, notably gaining MSR_TSX_FORCE_ABORT rather than
MSR_TSX_CTRL.  It was a giant muddle for mitigations.

> 06-cf-01

EMR.  Stepping 2 still available.

> 06-8f-04
> 06-8f-05
> 06-8f-06

SPR.  Steppings 7 and 8 still available.

These are weird.  06-8f-08 has two blobs in it with disjoint platform
flags (this is fine).

However, all 3 blobs between -07 and -08 all have sigtables covering
everything back to stepping 4.

Arguably that's a bug for the intel form of the microcode (which is
indexed on stepping), but it's just some extraneous metadata.  The rest
of it is suggesting that SPR steppings 4-8 had compatible-enough
microcode for them all to be patched by the same blob.

> 06-ba-08

RPL. The repo has steppings 2 and 3, so I wonder what RPL stepping 8 is.

> 06-86-04
> 06-86-05

SNR.  All steppings dropped, although it's apparently a mobile
basestation only, so I guess it's not running Linux.

Based on the diff stat, aren't the total entries increasing by 10?

I sorted the file by FMS to make it easier to spot changes going
forward. Though, I don't think we can rely on the kernel history to
track the microcode changes. Because there isn't a direct 1:1 mapping
between the microcode releases and the kernel update. (Unless that's
what you are proposing)

Dave's initial commit used the Nov 2024 release, and this one is based
on May 2025. There could potentially be multiple releases in the middle
that added and removed stuff which would go unnoticed. Though, using the
script in patch 2 it should be easy to track that (outside the kernel)
if really needed.

Ya, sorry my bad.
