Andi and I have made an update to our draft of the Spectre admin guide. We may be out on Christmas vacation for a while. But we want to send it out for everyone to take a look.
Can you add a section on how to compile out all mitigations that have anything beyond negligible performance impact for those running systems where performance is more important than security?
