Title:
Cleanup Meltdown/Spectre implementation
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in linux source package in Trusty:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
== SRU Justification ==
Ubuntu kernels contain Meltdown and Spectre mitigations that are
largely based on embargoed patches but what eventually landed in
upstream is different in some places. We should clean up the different
kernels to bring them closer in line with upstream.
== Fix ==
Add missing upstream patches.
== Regression Potential ==
Medium. The patches have been in upstream for quite a while now and
are baked in but some of the backporting is not completely trivial and
without risk.
== Test Case ==
TBD.
