Put a safety on that toggle! Automating SAFE Dynamic Mitigation
How to Build tuned Profiles for Dynamic Linux Kernel Mitigations dynamic mitigation functionality was created by AMD engineer David Kaplan, linked here is an article discussing it The recent introduction of "Dynamic Mitigations" for the Linux kernel provides a powerful new capability: the ability to enable or disable CPU security mitigations at runtime without a reboot. This is managed by writing to a special file at /sys/devices/system/cpu/mitigations . While you can do this manually with a simple echo command, a more robust and manageable approach is to use the tuned daemon. tuned is a system service designed to switch between performance profiles, making it the perfect tool for this job. This guide will show you how to create custom tuned profiles to easily manage your system's security and performance posture. Start Somewhere : Create a Custom tuned Profile Creating a custom profile is straightforward. First, you need to create a new directory for...
