I get:

sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v1
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2



> cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/*


I get:

Mitigation: PTI
Mitigation: __user pointer sanitization
Mitigation: Full generic retpoline

What do these mean, and what is the needed mitigation, if any?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
