kernel-tests on F29

[Alessio Ciregia]

Just for information.
kernel-tests on F29 requires python3-fedora (and not python-fedora).

In addition, running such tool on F29 (kernel
4.18.0-0.rc2.git4.1.fc29.x86_64) I get this vulnerability status:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/meltdown:Mitigation: PTI
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_store_bypass:Vulnerable
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v1:Mitigation: __user
pointer sanitization
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spectre_v2:Mitigation: Full
generic retpoline

Is this ok?

Thanks,
A.

I also found the need to load python3-fedora in order to run kernel 
tests. I also got messages about vulnerabilities, but I can't find any 
documents explaining them.

You may want to try running kernel tests with performance. I could not 
get them to run (runtests.sh -t performance). I attached the errors I 
got when I tried to run the kernel tests with performance.

You can find vulnerability status in  a kernel document[1].
Also, spec_store_bypass is described at redhat customer portal[2].
