These would have to be Meldown related then, given that Spectre is so widely applicable. Greg K-H has a useful post up about the state of play with the various Linux kernel patches for mainline and stable kernels here: http://kroah.com/log/blog/2018/01/06/meltdown-status/ He also mentioned about the Meltdown patches for ARM64: # Right now the ARM64 set of patches for the Meltdown issue are not # merged into Linus’s tree. They are staged and ready to be merged into # 4.16-rc1 once 4.15 is released in a few weeks. Because these patches # are not in a released kernel from Linus yet, I can not backport them # into the stable kernel releases (hey, we have rules for a reason...) # # Due to them not being in a released kernel, if you rely on ARM64 for # your systems (i.e. Android), I point you at the Android Common Kernel # tree All of the ARM64 fixes have been merged into the 3.18, 4.4, and # 4.9 branches as of this point in time.
