[elrepo] Announcement: EL7 New kernel-ml Release [4.15.0-1]

[David Ranch]

Hello Everyone,

I have a question about this statement:


> Kernel-ml has the retpoline patches but at present RHEL does not have 
> a retpoline-aware compiler. The upstream kernel code (kernel.org) does 
> not currently contain the IBRS patches that Red Hat have incorporated 
> into the distro kernel.

Once a retpoline enabled compiler is available, will ONLY the kernel 
need to be rebuilt with it or will *ALL* packages need to be recompiled 
as well (from the Centos community, 3rd party packages, etc)?
