kernel parameter "spectre_v2=retpoline"
Hi, I'm planning to upgrade my installation from CentOS 7.6/oVirt 4.3.5 to CentOS 7.7/oVirt 4.3.7. According to https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/htm... there's a new default setting for Spectre V2 mitigation in new RHEL 7 installs. Shall I switch my hypervisor hosts to this setting when upgrading? Would newly installed CentOS 7 oVirt hosts have that kernel parameter? thx Matthias

Doesn’t the same paragraph describe new install vs upgrade behavior?;) I wouldn’t think Centos is going to be any different .

Thanks, I read that, but thought there might some virtualization/oVirt related recommendations or people that already have some experience. Probably I should just believe what I read, worry less and trust my own expertise... Matthias
