Another Potential Performance Optimization For KPTI Meltdown Mitigation - Phoronix

To check whether #KPTI is enabled on #Linux, but note that it can also be silently disabled for #Xen guests (so, do not wonder why the line is missing): https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/176624/how-do-i-check-if-kpti-is-enabled-on-linux/177470#177470
How do I check if KPTI is enabled on linux?

The Meltdown attack FAQ says that KPTI is the fix for linux. How do I check if KPTI is running/enabled?

Unter #Ubuntu 16.04 hat der Kernel 4.4.0-108 nicht funktioniert. Der eben veröffentlichte 109er funktioniert. :-) #KPTI #Meltdown

@clacke I never heard about retpol before. Does that stand for retirement policy? I couldn't find it in a quick search in the context of meltdown/spectre.

Unfortunateley I still don't have a clue about #Spectre, but I'm on the way. I don't even know how it could be fixed yet...

As far as I understand #Meltdown, #KPTI looks like a reasonable measure.

Now that I discovered what hydra.nixos.org is actually doing all day, I can't stop refreshing the site.

Currently I'm waiting for the #KPTI patched linux kernel to compile. Hurry!
