I've just discovered this issue **after** opening #236 with some more details. (I was searching for the CVE number (CVE-2018-3693)...)

AFAICS [this is the explanation](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=fdf82a7856b32d905c39afc85e34364491e46346) why RSB fill should be enabled unconditionally on all Spectre v2 vulnerable CPUs. Quote: ``` * If spectre v2 protection has been enabled, unconditionally fill...

This is [CVE-2018-9056](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-9056). - https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2018-9056 - Tracking bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1561794 - Status: CLOSED CANTFIX ("_It is not something to be fixed in the kernel._")

Maybe it's also possible to integrate this very nice [x86/x64 SIMD Instruction List (SSE to AVX512)](http://www.officedaytime.com/simd512e/simd.html) which e.g. features vector instruction visualizations. (I also like the table format of the...

I'm currently working on such a configuration as well. I started with the example code from https://github.com/philips/grpc-gateway-example (i.e. REST and gRPC share the same port). Please let me share my...

Quick reply: Arch is using `mptspi` for the virtual SCSI disk. The `CONFIG_FUSION*` settings of Arch and Distri are identical though. I've tried switching back to dracut like this: ```...

dracut prints many errors but it creates an initramfs. However, booting with it doesn't work (neither SCSI nor SATA). It doesn't seem to find `udevadm` and `systemctl` and booting results...

It's `mpispi` (same as Arch). See the end of the output: $ lshw distri0 description: Computer product: VMware7,1 vendor: VMware, Inc. version: None serial: VMware-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX width: 64 bits capabilities: smbios-2.7...
