[02:51] <snadge> what about the PCID patch, is that being backported as well as pti? or is the priority just to get it patched
[07:02] <pizzadude> hi
[07:03] <pizzadude> why hasn't ubuntu patched the kernel for meltdown yet?
[07:06] <tsimonq2> pizzadude: The original disclosure date was on Tuesday, so they sort of planned for it I guess
[07:06] <tsimonq2> pizzadude: I know they're working at it, but you can only go so fast when your deadline moves up, no?
[07:06] <tsimonq2> (I'm not on the kernel team by the way, just an interested bystander)
[07:07] <pizzadude> is the mainline kernel 4.14.12 that ubuntu compiles patched? cuz im using that
[07:07] <pizzadude> (for now)
[07:07] <tsimonq2> Should be, if it's mainline
[07:07] <tsimonq2> Not sure though
[07:07] <pizzadude> ok, i think it is, since i get "bugs: cpu-insecure" in /proc/cpuinfo
[20:12] <f_g> apw: thanks for all your work in the past week and this weekend! I'm sure it has been long..
[20:12] <f_g> current branches did not show any problems so far, and we've begung rolling out to our downstream users. will report back any negative feedback.
[20:13] <f_g> (thanks also to the rest of the kernel team of course!)
[21:56] <bjf> f_g, we have test kernels available: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/SpectreAndMeltdown
