RISC-V Enabling Generic CPU Vulnerabilities Reporting
While RISC-V processors don't need to worry about Meltdown and Spectre or have any other severe CPU vulnerabilities at the moment, with the upcoming Linux 6.12 kernel the RISC-V code is set to enable the generic CPU vulnerabilities support.
While RISC-V processors don't need to worry about Meltdown and Spectre or have any other severe CPU vulnerabilities at the moment, with the upcoming Linux 6.12 kernel the RISC-V code is set to enable the generic CPU vulnerabilities support. So with time it's pretty inevitable that some security issues for RISC-V needing software mitigations will come to light. The patch has made it into RISC-V's "for-next" Git branch this week and thus destined for the upcoming Linux 6.12 merge window barring any last minute change of course.
