​Hi there,  I am running kernel 4.14.14 under gentoo testing on an AMD
kaveri box.

The version of GCC I am using is 7.2.  Whether that means the reptoline
patch is working for me I am not quite sure but it could be I guess.....

Someone who is smarter than the average bear has written a patch for the
spectre problem with no performance penalty:

https://www.neowin.net/news/retpoline-patch-coming-to-linux-49-and-linux-414

​I am not sure if you can do this as debian testing or experimental.

Cheers
