Okay, I did a 'git pull' from Linus' tree and rebuilt. I _believe_ I have the correct patches from this information: localhost /usr/src/linux # git log | grep "Do not enable PTI on CPUs which are not vulnerable to Meltdown" Fixes: fec9434a12f3 ("x86/pti: Do not enable PTI on CPUs which are not vulnerable to Meltdown") x86/pti: Do not enable PTI on CPUs which are not vulnerable to Meltdown x86/pti: Do not enable PTI on CPUs which are not vulnerable to Meltdown localhost /usr/src/linux # git log | grep -A8 6304672b7f0a5c010002e63a075160856dc4f88d commit 6304672b7f0a5c010002e63a075160856dc4f88d Merge: 942633523cde 64e16720ea08 Author: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org> Date: Mon Jan 29 19:08:02 2018 -0800 Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86/pti updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Another set of melted spectrum related changes: If that is correct (and I might be wrong), then I am up to date and I am still getting the following in /proc/cpuinfo on my Pentium 4M i686: bugs : cpu_meltdown spectre_v1 spectre_v2 - Matthew
