| pizzadude | hi | 20:27 |
|---|---|---|
| pizzadude | is the mainline kernel going to be compiled with retpoline for spectre mitigation in the future? | 20:28 |
| pizzadude | i mean the kernels at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 20:28 |
| pizzadude- | right now it's "Minimal generic ASM retpoline" but not full protection | 20:35 |
| apw | pizzadude, we don't even have retpoline compilers in the main archive yet, so we need those first | 20:35 |
| apw | beyond that if it needs configurations we can sort that out and rebuild some of the key kernels | 20:36 |
| pizzadude- | ok but is it gonna be fixed in mainline eventually (i know its mainly used for debugging, but i hate waiting for kernel fixes to be backported) | 20:36 |
| pizzadude- | ^thats not me | 20:37 |
| pizzadude- | well, it's my nick but | 20:38 |
| apw | ? | 20:38 |
| pizzadude- | nvm | 20:38 |
| pizzadude- | but yeah is it gonna be fixed eventually or is the mainline kernel "ppa" a red headed stepchild that canonical doesnt care about | 20:38 |
| apw | the mainline ppa builds there are for debugging, we keep a weather eye on them, they are not official in any sense | 20:41 |
| pizzadude- | yeah i know but some people use them | 20:42 |
| apw | with meltdown/spectre we are likely to make more effort to get them working | 20:42 |
| pizzadude- | them being "ubuntu kernels", mainline, or both? | 20:43 |
| pizzadude- | sorry if im being annoying | 20:43 |
| apw | the mainline builds test builds | 20:43 |
| pizzadude- | thanks | 20:44 |
| pizzadude- | . | 20:45 |
