intel-microcode 3.20220510.0ubuntu0.22.04.1 disables AVX-512 on Alder Lake

Inizia con il report Launchpad collegato e ispeziona /lib/firmware/intel-ucode/06-97-02, confrontando intel-microcode 3.20220510.0ubuntu0.22.04.1 con 3.20210608.2ubuntu1. Esamina l’output lscpu fornito e il comportamento AVX-512 di Alder Lake; il lavoro è completato quando la regressione è spiegata e viene identificata una modifica appropriata al microcodice o al pacchetto.

Reported in Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode/+bug/1979123

Updating intel-microcode to 3.20220510.0ubuntu0.22.04.1 results in AVX-512 inaccessible on Alder Lake CPU, even if the BIOS supports it and it is enabled in the BIOS. The problematic firmware is /lib/firmware/intel-ucode/06-97-02.

Last known working version of intel-microcode is 3.20210608.2ubuntu1. That package version does not contain the microcode (presumably, the version loaded by the BIOS is used).
