Linux KPTI Tests Using Linux 4.14 vs. 4.9 vs. 4.4

Linux KPTI Tests Using Linux 4.14 vs. 4.9 vs. 4.4: Yet another one of the avenues we have been exploring with our Linux Page Table Isolation (KPTI) testing has been looking at any impact of this security feature in the wake of the Meltdown vulnerability when testing with an older Linux Long Term Support (LTS) release. In particular, when using a kernel prior to the PCID (Process Context Identifier) support in the Linux kernel that is used to lessen the impact of KPTI.
