Spectre/Meltdown Patches

Post by jarjarkenobi » Thu Feb 01, 2018 9:40 pm

Is there any patches to the Spectre/Meltdown for the kernel?

I am seeing that the kernel in use after the dist-upgrade was built in September. Is there a time frame where this will be patched?

We will wait until Intel will give green light for it..
for now, it will make only slowness in EVE
