Summary : Spectre & Meltdown vulnerability/mitigation checker for Linux
Description :
Spectre & Meltdown vulnerability/mitigation checker for Linux.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
* Feature: two new methods for reading MSR without a recent-enough `dd` binary:
using `perl` or the `msr-tools` when these are present * Feature: add detection
of RSBA feature bit (set by some hypervisors) indicating possible RSB underflow
host CPU vulnerability, and require kernel support for RSB stuffing even on non-
Skylake CPUs when this is the case * Feature: support for /boot partition on a
btrfs subvolume * Feature: add standard location of Arch armv5/armv7 kernel
image * Fix: the ARCH_CAPABILITIES MSR wasn't read correctly, preventing proper
SSB_NO and RDCL_NO feature bits detection
