There's a kernel command line parameter as well as suitable runtime patching and configuration so that it "just works" correctly for folk. https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/27/2 is the patch for AMD. At least for the pagetable fun. It's important to note that there's more than one issue being disclosed, and reading https://security.googleblog.com/2018/01/todays-cpu-vulnerability-what-you-need.html?m=1 is a good idea. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
