• No major update this week. Ben H. has been busy upstream.

• At this moment the impact of Spectre and Meltdown in modern architectures is incomplete as this table shows.
• The initial fixes are stating to land upstream and being backported, as GKH stated in his post.
• It is early yet to fully understand the strategy towards fixes backports beyond what upstream is doing. Once the current fixes are settle upstream, a discussion should be opened about what to do with the fixes that has not landed to 4.4, especially those related with ARM.
• The original idea is to have a statement about Meltdown/Spectre issue from the CIP kernel maintainer next week.
  • Given the communication needs, the goal is to have a software statement by the end of the current week. TODO: Agustin
