FreeBSD 11.2-RC3 Released, Enables Eager FPU Context Switching For Latest CPU Bug
The newest weekly release candidate of the upcoming FreeBSD 11.2 is now available for testing.
Most notable about FreeBSD 11.2-RC3 is the enabling of eager FPU context switching for the FreeBSD i386/AMD64 builds. The eager FPU context switching is for the recently disclosed Lazy State Save/Restore speculative execution bug. Linux has been covered by default for the past two years while OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD were recently mitigated while now FreeBSD 11.2 will be covered too.
