So why is this "Vulnerable"? Because it didn't think it could find my kernel image for some odd reason, despite it really being in /boot/ (I don't use netboot)
Now I know the real reason why this test failed. With this note we can conclude this is not a regression.
No regressions on arm64, arm, x86_64, and i386 for 4.19, 5.4 and 5.5 branches.
Great, thanks for confirming and for testing all of these.
We originally added spectre-meltdown-checker to lkft for informational purposes, so that we could compare its report to any actual tests that produce spectre/meltdown related failures (and help determine if the problem is hardware/firmware or kernel). In practice, it's never been helpful (because it's not an actual test) and so we'll be removing it from LKFT.
