Linus Torvalds is "fed up" with making kernel changes to address faulty hardware
"Let's put the onus on where the blame lies ... bad hardware"
A hot potato: Linus Torvalds is sick and tired of trying to "fix" Linux to work on Intel's faulty processors. In his view, Linux isn't broken, so why should he (and other FOSS developers) fix anything? Intel is the one with the problems. He vented his ire in a thread recently.
New attack methods work against Spectre mitigations in modern PC CPUs
Speculation barriers don't work as intended
