Re: [gentoo-user] Where are the AMD microcode updates for spectre?

The fam15h microcode update adds IBPB   * Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB)     * PRED_CMD MSR is available:  YES     * CPU indicates IBPB capability:  YES  (IBPB_SUPPORT feature bit) The question is what about the other stuff? IRBS, STIBP? This is very confusing due to zero

I have Gentoo with KDE running in a Virtualbox VM. It's a new install, created and updated with the most recent packages less than a week ago. When I first start up the VM, the KDE desktop will not respond to the mouse. There's a rectangular box in the bottom right corner that's shaded darker
