PostPosted: Mon 20 May 2019, 04:14    Post subject: Zombieload mitigated kernel  
I've made a 64bit Xenial/Bionic compatible 4.19.44 kernel via Puppy kernel-kit, with the no firmware option. Is partially Zombieload mitigated. Is Spectre/Meltdown mitigated (except 3a). Needs firmware by making own (or using another) fdrv . Uses performance cpu governor by default (max speed). This is the first kernel I've made with the Bionic64 DOTconfig - tested OK in Bionicpup64 (& Slacko64 with path modified to /usr/lib64 in zdrv) - a bit slower than original. Use at own risk.

Nobody's building 32-bit kernels anymore, eh?

@musher - peebee has built some 32bit. Trying 4.9.177 pae later.
The zombieload mitigation kernels have just been released, so we make what we can test (& use) first, then others. I have a Slacko64 4.14.120 kernel compiling now (takes me 3+ hours). Am posting using Peebee's 5.1.3 64bit kernel in Slacko64-700rc3 - works so well I may not bother posting 4.14.120. (EDIT - won't post - didn't work well. Sticking with my 4.19.44 as slow FAT access with others).

You can use 64-bit kernels with 32-bit systems so long as your processor is 64-bit - try it and see!

Hi peebee.

I know that. I meant the real McCoy.

BFN.

Hi ozsouth

Are you able to say which config items enabled Zombieload mitigation?

With the FatDog configs, I get:
mds:Vulnerable: Clear CPU buffers attempted, no microcode; SMT disabled

on my Intel Xeon desktop........

Thanks
peebee

Peebee - I get the same result as you. I had read Greg K-H suggesting SMT disabling in kernels released after 15th May was the CURRENT mitigation, along with microcode updates. Perhaps I should say PARTIALLY mitigated. As I understand it, this is as good as it gets for now.

PostPosted: Fri 14 Jun 2019, 07:02    Post subject: AUFS versions for kernel-kit  
As of 14Jan2020, the following special aufs versions need to be quoted in build.conf when making latest kernels.
All unlisted main branches (i.e. 4.4 , 5.1 etc) just use that version number.
4.1.13+
4.9.94+
4.14.73+
4.19.63+
5.2.5+
5.3.16
5.4.3
.
