| 1 | I noticed two Gentoo systems (Intel & AMD) running kernel 4.14.23 show: |
| 2 | |
| 3 | cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v1 |
| 4 | Mitigation: __user pointer sanitization |
| 5 | |
| 6 | However, a Mint VM running kernel 4.13.0-36 shows: |
| 7 | |
| 8 | cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v1 |
| 9 | Mitigation: OSB (observable speculation barrier, Intel v6) |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Why would there be this difference and what does it mean? |
