This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
x86/pti: Do not enable PTI on CPUs which are not vulnerable to Meltdown
to the 4.15-stable tree which can be found at:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary
The filename of the patch is:
x86pti_Do_not_enable_PTI_on_CPUs_which_are_not_vulnerable_to_Meltdown.patch
and it can be found in the queue-4.15 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it.
Subject: x86/pti: Do not enable PTI on CPUs which are not vulnerable to Meltdown
From: David Woodhouse dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Date: Thu Jan 25 16:14:13 2018 +0000
From: David Woodhouse dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx
commit fec9434a12f38d3aeafeb75711b71d8a1fdef621
Also, for CPUs which don't speculate at all, don't report that they're
vulnerable to the Spectre variants either.
Leave the cpu_no_meltdown[] match table with just X86_VENDOR_AMD in it
for now, even though that could be done with a simple comparison, on the
assumption that we'll have more to add.
Based on suggestions from Dave Hansen and Alan Cox.
