Is there anything GCC could be doing at the compiler level to mitigate the recently-announced Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities? From reading about them, it seems like they involve speculative execution and indirect branch prediction, and those are the domain of things the compiler deals with, right? (For reference, Meltdown is CVE-2017-5754, and Spectre is CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5715)
Just wondering, Eric
