1 I've read online that there should be vulnerability info (Meltdown,
2 Spectre) in /sys under /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities but this
3 doesn't exist on my PC.
4
5 Another place is in /proc/cpuinfo, no info on meltdown/spectre in there
6 either.
7
8 Yet another place is in dmesg, (grep 'page tables isolation') nothing
9 there either.
10
11 I've updated to gentoo-sources-4.9.76-r1, shouldn't this info be present?
12
13 $ uname -a
14 Linux zatpc 4.9.76-gentoo-r1 #1 SMP Mon Feb 12 09:20:32 PST 2018 x86_64
15 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme CPU X9650 @ 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
16
17 $ zgrep PAGE_TABLE_ISO /proc/config.gz
18 CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION=y
19
20 Or does the page table isolation need to be explicitly turned on?
