KernelTrap reports: Colin Percival continues the discussion regarding the shared-cache vulnerability inherent in multi-core processors, offering potential mitigation techniques in the form of fixes to the FreeBSD schedulers. Based on Percival’s original discovery, information leakage between threads which share a processor core and the subsequent opportunity to monitor memory access patterns can be prevented by eliminating the co-scheduling of threads that have differing privileges.
I really think this has a future if you can believe. So how many will it take to stop this? That we don’t know until that time is here. Check the core of the cell chip may be an answer. Hope I made you day a little better. Can you see the lights as I do tonight?
