   59: ## Mitigations
   60: 
   61: ### Mitigation A: SVS
   62: 
   63: Meltdown is mitigated with the SVS feature. It can be dynamically disabled
   64: by changing the "machdep.svs.enabled" sysctl.
   65: 
   66: ### Mitigation B: Intel IBRS
   67: 
   68: SpectreV2 can be mitigated with the IBRS method (Intel only for now). If
   69: the CPU supports this method, it is used automatically. It can be
   70: dynamically disabled by changing the "machdep.spectre_v2.mitigated"
   71: sysctl.
   72: 
   73: ### Mitigation C: AMD DIS_IND
   74: 
   75: SpectreV2 can be mitigated with the DIS_IND method, available only on a
   76: few AMD families. If the CPU supports this method, it is used
   77: automatically. It can be dynamically disabled by changing the
   78: "machdep.spectre_v2.mitigated" sysctl.
   79: 
   80: ### Mitigation D: Retpoline
   81: 
   82: SpectreV2 is mitigated in the kernel with the GCC "retpoline" compilation
   83: flag, which is enabled by default in GENERIC.
