Now that you bump to 4.14.18_rt15-1, too and since I read the diff https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/diff/?h=linux-rt&id=aee56edc0ffc7c315d462ae337f446b7ed8007c5 I notice that my config "suffers" from a spectre 2 "misconfiguration". [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ zgrep CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON /proc/config.gz # CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is not set https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/856694/ Apart from this they are identical kernels with equal patches. [rocketmouse@archlinux linux-rt]$ diff config config-4.14.18-rt15-1-rt-securityink 57c57 < CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-rt" --- > CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-1-rt-securityink" 227c227 < CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y --- > # CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON is not set [rocketmouse@archlinux linux-rt]$ diff . /usr/src/linux-rt-securityink/ [snip, apart from the config and name related diffs, not a single relevant diff]
