Re: [PATCH 0/3] PTI for x86-32 Fixes and Updates

[Pavel Machek]

Hi!

It seems PTI is now in -next. I'll test that soon.

Meanwhile... it looks like gcc is not slowed down significantly, but
other stuff sees 30% .. 40% slowdowns... which is rather
significant.

Would it be possible to have per-process control of kpti? I have
some processes where trading of speed for security would make sense.

Best regards,
