The Performance Impact To POWER9's Eager L1d Cache Flushing Fix  Phoronix

Last week a new vulnerability was made public for IBM POWER9 processors resulting in a mitigation of the processor's L1 data cache needing to be flushed between privilege boundaries.

Here are some preliminary benchmarks looking at how this security change impacts the overall system performance.

Thanks to work by AMD and SUSE engineers, the Linux kernel could soon be seeing frequency invariance support for EPYC 7002 "Rome" processors for yielding greater performance and power efficiency...
