Weird ...[OFF-TOPIC] Regarding Meltdown and Spectre:<br />Weird practice, that INTEL withdrew their January 2018 microcode within the last few days. Last known good is now named 20171117.<br />The Checker tool had been updated many times inbetween. It's purpose is to only show whether the fixes/ settings work.<br />My gcc 7.2.1 20180122 [gcc-7-branch revision 256939] from openSUSE Factory now supports retpoline.<br /><br />Still, I don't get decided info, whether my system is affectable, at all.<br /><br />BR, Manuel Krause Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963790426029213933.post-78468710138487625362018-01-19T10:22:00.725-08:002018-01-19T10:22:00.725-08:00[OFF-TOPIC] Regarding Meltdown and Spectre:

But when?<br /><br />Worst way to interpret the results for my system would be: My Core2duo is not affected, and PTI would only produce a performance impact.<br /><br />INSTEAD we should keep our microcode/ ucode and GCC and kernel as fresh as possible.<br /><br /><br />BR, Manuel Krause<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963790426029213933.post-8430622482374235242018-01-19T09:37:28.235-08:002018-01-19T09:37:28.235-08:00@Alfred & @Oleksandr:
