Control: retitle -1 should not install CPU microcode on virtualized systems Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> (2023-05-22): > For the record: non-free-firmware can be enabled because (1) the kernel logs > firmware requests, (2) available hardware matches modalias information, (3) > CPU matches one with microcode. > > (1) and (2) definitely make sense in a virtualized system as well: you can > have whatever passthrough configuration to access hardware from the host, > e.g. some USB Wi-Fi adapter (that's how I've tested many changes before > switching to baremetal for final tests). > > I'm willing to consider tweaking (3), making it conditional. Also updating title to match what this bug report is really about.
