It includes updated microcode files for SNB-E/EN/EP CPU models.
Comment 6 Jeff Bastian 2020-06-08 23:51:01 UTC 
Eirik Fuller tested and verified microcode_ctl-1.17-33.26.el6_10 on RHEL-6.10.z.  Thanks Eirik!

The FAIL results on the "Xeon W-2133 (blacklist)" and "Sandy Bridge EP/EN (blacklist)" jobs are expected since the blacklist blocks them from updating to the latest CPU microcode.  The task expects the CPUs to be running the latest, so in this case, a failure is a good thing since it means the blacklist is working.
