I'm not so sure we should gloat yet - the verdict may be out - I saw amicroprocessors.
reference to RedHat related to POWER.
And I don't think the 390 chip is a POWER chip, is it? I could easily
be wrong there.
Hope we ARE safe, of course!

While Intel systems are the ones known to have the defect, they may
not be
the only ones affected. *Some platforms, such as SPARC and IBM's
S390, are immune to the problem*, as their processor memory
management doesn't
need the split address space and shared kernel page tables;
operating systems on those platforms have always isolated their
kernel page tables from user mode ones.
Take that, Wintel Weenies :)

Several people including Linus requested to change the KAISER name.
We came up with a list of technically correct acronyms:
User Address Space Separation, prefix uass_
Forcefully Unmap Complete Kernel With Interrupt Trampolines,
prefix fuckwit_
but we are politically correct people so we settled for
Kernel Page Table Isolation, prefix kpti_
Linus, your call :)
