FP2 patch for Meltdown/Spectre

[JeroenH]

(I don’t know which SoC FP1 exactly has.)

Spectre should be fixed with the update Tuesday (assuming LOS backports these fixes which is a fair bet). You can verify by checking patch level at Settings -> About phone -> Android security patch level. Should be as Ingo stated after Tuesday.

Meltdown, as far as its known today, only affects Intel and a few rare ARM processors: Cortex-A15, Cortex-A57, Cortex-A72. Snapdragon 810 is based on A57. FP2 is a Snapdragon 800 though.

You can also figure out about other devices by checking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_ARMv8-A_cores and sorting on out of order execution. F.e. my Shield Tablet has a Tegra K1 which is based on Cortex-A15.
