Hi, please take a look at the https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/linux-rt/ comments. rvalles commented on 2018-01-07 08:08 "We need a meltdown update. (i.e. based on 4.14.12)" I'll reply here and then post a link as comment. Who is we? I don't need it, at least not for a rt patched kernel. To all whom it may concern, who don't want to risk performance issues caused by a patch set, that is completely irrelevant for a DAW, for audio sessions boot with nopti to disable KPTI, once this patch set is applied. Consider to install the package arch-audit from community, to receive an impression, why an attacker unlikely would (mis)use one of the three media-hyped vulnerabilities, but instead other high risk vulnerabilities, that are easier to (mis)use.
