How to disable Spectre and Meltdown mitigations in Ubuntu 18.04?
by Boggle247 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XJGF)
I am using AMD FX-6350 (Bulldozer chip). So is Meltdown (impacts Intel only) disabled by the kernel by default since I have an AMD chip?
My cpu is affected by Spectre. But I'd like to know how to disable the mitigations in the kernel. I've read that Linux might have implemented a different solution that would only affect performance of Intel skylake and later Is this the case?
