===== Discussions =====

==== Kernel maintenance ====

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

=== Timeline meltdown and spectre updates for CIP kernel ===

  * At this moment the impact of Spectre and Meltdown in modern architectures is incomplete as [[https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/byvendor?searchview&Query=FIELD+Reference=584653&SearchOrder=4|this table]] shows.
  * The initial fixes are stating to land upstream and being backported, as GKH stated in his [[http://www.kroah.com/log/blog/2018/01/06/meltdown-status/|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
