Stable kernels to address Zenbleed released

Parent article: Stable kernels to address Zenbleed released

My CPU is listed as affected. It says in the documentation that microcode can be built into the kernel image:

https://docs.kernel.org/arch/x86/microcode.html#builtin-m...

So I added "amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam19h.bin" in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE, but on boot it still says "Zenbleed: please update your microcode for the most optimal fix". Later on in dmesg it says patch_level=0x08600103. I double checked CONFIG_MICROCODE_AMD=y.

So apparently building a monolith kernel and loading AMD microcode during boot does NOT work as of 6.4.6

I know that. It's pointed out at this Gentoo Wiki article:

Same result. I've looked at the sources but haven't found a way to fix this yet.

Note that there is no microcode update for Ryzen/Ryzen PRO yet. Only EPYC got the firmware fix, so far.
