[QUOTE="kuwanger, post: 7811201, member: 45602"] I'd say not really. It requires reordering the logic of when memory protection faults should kick in. That's a pretty non-trivial amount of work--mostly in catching all the cases so we're not left with a partial Meltdown patch. In the end, yes. I'm not particularly positive about Intel at this point, though, given how much Intel has tried to make Meltdown and Spectre synonymous, claim that "many" CPUs are vulnerable to Meltdown, and generally paper over the performance costs. I presume that's a major reason Linus' had such a bad reaction to Intel's patch to the Linux kernel--they imply their plans are for the fixes to be opt-in, which implies there actually will be substantial performance costs. *sigh* PS - Still wondering if MS is ever going to switch from using INVPCID to just PCID to reduce the performance costs for the Meltdown workaround. My guess is no. Thankfully, at least a lot of benchmarks imply the Meltdown workaround isn't really that bad with games. Not seen any real comprehensive tests, though. [/QUOTE]
