You would need to contact Red Hat, or review the existing advisory, to
understand what RHEL is mitigating. Fedora does include the AMD patch
in f27, but again that is only relevant to one CVE not all of them.
Thanks for the clarification Josh. I found AMD's announcement here:
Apparently, for Spectre they have developed a mitigation for their CPUs for variant 1; variant 2
they don't seem to believe that impacts them - and fwiw no one has yet been able to reproduce it
on amd hardware.
Good news at least amd folks don't need to worry about potential performance impact from the
meltdown circumvention.
