*) SUMMARY:
In between the old and new QEMU, changed results for the mitigations
checker was:
#### DIFF between old QEMU and this new one
Hardware check
* Hardware support (CPU microcode) for mitigation techniques
* Enhanced IBRS (IBRS_ALL)
* CPU indicates ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR availability: YES
* ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR advertises IBRS_ALL capability: YES
* CPU explicitly indicates not being vulnerable to Meltdown/L1TF
(RDCL_NO): YES
* CPU/Hypervisor indicates L1D flushing is not necessary on this
system: NO
--------
* CPU vulnerability to the speculative execution attack variants
* Vulnerable to CVE-2017-5754 (Variant 3, Meltdown, rogue data cache load):
NO
* Vulnerable to CVE-2018-3620 (Foreshadow-NG (OS), L1 terminal fault): NO
* Vulnerable to CVE-2018-3646 (Foreshadow-NG (VMM), L1 terminal fault): NO
--------
## CVE-2017-5715 aka 'Spectre Variant 2, branch target injection'
OLD QEMU:
* Mitigated according to the /sys interface: YES (Mitigation: Full generic
retpoline, IBPB: conditional, IBRS_FW, STIBP: disabled, RSB filling)
* Mitigation 1
* Kernel is compiled with IBRS support: YES
* IBRS enabled and active: YES (for firmware code only)
* Kernel is compiled with IBPB support: YES
* IBPB enabled and active: YES
* Mitigation 2
* Kernel has branch predictor hardening (arm): NO
* Kernel compiled with retpoline option: YES
* Kernel compiled with a retpoline-aware compiler: YES (kernel reports
full retpoline compilation)
* Kernel supports RSB filling: YES
> STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (Full retpoline + IBPB are mitigating the
vulnerability)
NEW QEMU:
* Mitigated according to the /sys interface: YES (Mitigation: Enhanced IBRS,
IBPB: conditional, RSB filling)
* Mitigation 1
* Kernel is compiled with IBRS support: YES
* IBRS enabled and active: YES
* Kernel is compiled with IBPB support: YES
* IBPB enabled and active: YES
* Mitigation 2
* Kernel has branch predictor hardening (arm): NO
* Kernel compiled with retpoline option: YES
* Kernel supports RSB filling: YES
> STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (IBRS + IBPB are mitigating the
vulnerability)

## CVE-2017-5754 aka 'Variant 3, Meltdown, rogue data cache load'
OLD QEMU:
* Mitigated according to the /sys interface: YES (Mitigation: PTI)
* Kernel supports Page Table Isolation (PTI): YES
* PTI enabled and active: YES
* Reduced performance impact of PTI: YES (CPU supports INVPCID, performance
impact of PTI will be greatly reduced)
* Running as a Xen PV DomU: NO
> STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (Mitigation: PTI)
NEW QEMU:
* Mitigated according to the /sys interface: YES (Not affected)
* Kernel supports Page Table Isolation (PTI): YES
* PTI enabled and active: NO
* Reduced performance impact of PTI: YES (CPU supports INVPCID, performance
impact of PTI will be greatly reduced)
* Running as a Xen PV DomU: NO
> STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (your CPU vendor reported your CPU model as
not vulnerable)

OLD QEMU:
## CVE-2018-3620 aka 'Foreshadow-NG (OS), L1 terminal fault'
* Mitigated according to the /sys interface: YES (Mitigation: PTE Inversion;
VMX: conditional cache flushes, SMT disabled)
* Kernel supports PTE inversion: YES (found in kernel image)
* PTE inversion enabled and active: YES
> STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (Mitigation: PTE Inversion; VMX: conditional
cache flushes, SMT disabled)
NEW QEMU:
## CVE-2018-3615 aka 'Foreshadow (SGX), L1 terminal fault'
* CPU microcode mitigates the vulnerability: N/A
> STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (your CPU vendor reported your CPU model as
not vulnerable)
--
OLD QEMU:
## CVE-2018-3646 aka 'Foreshadow-NG (VMM), L1 terminal fault'
* Information from the /sys interface: Mitigation: PTE Inversion; VMX:
conditional cache flushes, SMT disabled
* This system is a host running a hypervisor: NO
* Mitigation 1 (KVM)
* EPT is disabled: NO
* Mitigation 2
* L1D flush is supported by kernel: YES (found flush_l1d in kernel image)
* L1D flush enabled: YES (conditional flushes)
* Hardware-backed L1D flush supported: NO (flush will be done in software,
this is slower)
* Hyper-Threading (SMT) is enabled: NO
> STATUS: NOT VULNERABLE (this system is not running a hypervisor)
## CVE-2018-3646 aka 'Foreshadow-NG (VMM), L1 terminal fault'
* Information from the /sys interface: Not affected
* This system is a host running a hypervisor: NO
* Mitigation 1 (KVM)
* EPT is disabled: NO
* Mitigation 2
* L1D flush is supported by kernel: YES (found flush_l1d in kernel image)
* L1D flush enabled: NO
* Hardware-backed L1D flush supported: NO (flush will be done in software,
