[llvm-dev] FYI, we've posted a component of Spectre mitigation on llvm-commits

[Chandler Carruth via llvm-dev]

Awesome, replied.

We've been working on similar things, but didn't have them ready-to-publish
due to slightly lower urgency (there are reasonable ways to locally mimic
these kinds of things in sensitive areas like the Linux kernel, and even
finding code patterns for variant #1 is substantially harder). We have some
significantly different APIs we'd like to discuss here based on experience
trying to implement these on x86 and deploy them to a reasonably large body
of code. Hopefully more details soon as folks have time.
