- On i386/amd64 cpus:
Meltdown mitigation: SVS (separate virtual address spaces)
Spectre mitigation (support in gcc, used by default for kernels)
SMAP support
(U)EFI bootloader
Where is the UEFI bootloader in i386? I don't see anything EFI-related in /usr/mdec \
(this if for NetBSD 8.99.17)
But /usr/mdec for amd64 includes
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 213764 May 25 14:55 /media/zip1/usr/mdec/bootia32.efi
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 203783 May 25 14:55 /media/zip1/usr/mdec/bootx64.efi
That is for NetBSD 8.99.18
Here /media/zip1 is my mount point.
I'd like to see how UEFI boot compares to legacy BIOS-type boot for both NetBSD and \
FreeBSD.
