Public bug reported: [Impact]
* Add processor support from SMBIOS 3.6.0 in Jammy and Noble to enable new hardware in LTS release per SRU policy [1]. * Backport of 1 relatively simple patch from dmidecode 3.6 in Oracular to dmidecode 3.3 in Jammy and dmidecode 3.5 in Noble [Test Plan] * Check no regressions on current systems with SMBIOS < 3.6, i.e., no output changes in text and binary form. $ sudo dmidecode > old.txt 2>&1 $ sudo dmidecode --dump-bin old.bin $ apt install dmidecode # modified package $ sudo dmidecode > new.txt 2>&1 $ sudo dmidecode --dump-bin new.bin $ cmp old.txt new.txt; echo $?
