there's a mitigation with compilers called "retpoline", but requires recompiling the whole OS + everything running on it...

Since I use my own ami and didn't recycle the system with a new OS, seems like it can't be that
-
You're running linux on top of their VM system, which is running an OS... At some point it rebooted.
-
It may have rebooted but it seems unlikely/impossible that they recompiled the OS and replaced the AMI out from under me.
-
That's because they didn't. The mitigation for meltdown is many turtles deep.

Ah I was just referring to https://twitter.com/randomfrequency/status/952672323043143680 … which said they had to recompile the OS.
-
The node you're running on runs linux, plus a hypervisor, which you run linux on. They'd have to mitigate meltdown to protect your instance from other instances, in other words.

They’ve been rebooting a lot of their capacity, I wonder if that may have had an impact.
