Re: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64531
arch/x86/Kconfig line 1053 (+/-), help section in CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL, says:
For latest news and information on obtaining all the required
Intel ingredients for this driver, check:
<http://www.urbanmyth.org/microcode/>
==> 404 Page not found
Is there a good replacement for this information or should we just
delete that help text?
thanks,

I'd say let's delete the text. Mind sending a patch?
Thanks,
Ingo

For downloading
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/ -> search for "processor microcode data
file"

fwiw this file lives on intel.com for a while now.. unfortunately it's
one of these websites with fancy downloading stuff for which I suspect
the URLs are not long term stable ;-(
but if you type "microcode" into the search box its the first entry...

How about:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/search.html?keyword=linux+microcode+data+file
? That, by the looks of it, appears to be a reasonably stable URL.
Thanks,
Ingo

Yeah, all the distros are packaging those in some firmware-extra or
whatever package anyway.

But it is also mostly useless. No version information in the results, and
the newest one is NOT the topmost, either.
This one is better, in that it at least has the required information, but
your browser needs to have a proper built-in RSS renderer:
http://feeds.downloadcenter.intel.com/rss/?p=483&lang=eng
You might want to use the URL for a newer processor family, though.
E.g. for the 5000-sequence Xeons:
http://feeds.downloadcenter.intel.com/rss/?p=2371&lang=eng
