And on that note I see that upstream just released 4.14.11 containing |
| 8 |
what is widely speculated as a fix for an Intel CPU security |
| 9 |
vulnerability. I noticed that it doesn't disable the |
| 10 |
performance-impacting setting on AMD CPUs. Though, right now only AMD |
| 11 |
could say whether this is necessary (their lkml post suggests it is |
| 12 |
not). This is an upstream release - I don't know when Gentoo plans to |
| 13 |
release it. I'm sure it will be making the rounds in the various news |
| 14 |
sites any day. |
