[PATCH] D41723: Introduce the "retpoline" x86 mitigation technique for variant #2 of the speculative execution vulnerabilities disclosed today, specifically identified by CVE-2017-5715, "Branch Target Injection", and is one of the two halves to Spectre..

tstellar added a comment.

Does this CVE affect all previous versions of clang/llvm ?

The Project Zero blog post mention that this issue affects ARM CPUs, does clang/llvm need a similar fix for ARM?

Is this fix important enough to do a special 5.0.2 release for it?
