    Red Hat release is faster than upstream:)

    How can you confirm the patch has been applied on a CentOS/RHEL based distro for Intel bug?
    Here is how you search for CVE. If you get output. You are patched. No output means not patched.

    weird did they mess up order of change log display ? if you don't specify exact kernel version and just kernel package you don't get the change log at all

    usually the latest is at top of listing
    Code (Text):
    rpm -q --changelog kernel | head -n10                                                          
* Tue Jul 04 2017 CentOS Sources <bugs@centos.org> - 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7
- Apply debranding changes

* Fri Jun 30 2017 Frantisek Hrbata <fhrbata@hrbata.com> [3.10.0-514.26.2.el7]

- [mm] enlarge stack guard gap (Larry Woodman) [1452732 1452733] {CVE-2017-1000364}

    but now need to specify exact version ?
    Code (Text):
    rpm -q --changelog kernel-3.10.0-693.11.6.el7 | head -n10

    More info after you update kernels Controlling the Performance Impact of Microcode and Security Patches for CVE-2017-5754 CVE-2017-5715 and CVE-2017-5753 using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Tunables - Red Hat Customer Portal

    more suited to before/after kernel update testing of performance impact
    by default i am only setting one of them set to non-zero value
    Code (Text):
    cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/pti_enabled
1

cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/ibpb_enabled
0

cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/ibrs_enabled

    Are you modifying the boot command, or setting this value after each reboot?

    If you don't know how then i suggest using non-persistent method as you also need to know how to recover from non-boot situation if you use kernel command line method - of course google-fu ;)
