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

Otherwise you may see something like...

Ed:

In earlier email in this thread, you stated:
Yes.  As long as you don't have kernel modules which were built with a non-patched gcc.

ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/*

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

From what I can tell in this thread, this is a good new addition

Paul
