@rysiek that article is so misleading and ambiguous that i literally cant even. I assume their talking about the MMU timing attack from CCC? That affects EVERY architecture tested. Table look up timing attacks are a thing
@rysiek The patches look like they are protecting against the mmu attack only for kaslr when it is useless anyhow and not user space aslr where it is useful.
It is NOT paging out the kernel. This attack is present in amd but not across rings.
The entire article is a fuck. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=5aa90a84589282b87666f92b6c3c917c8080a9bf
