>From [1]:
* All GCC 8.2 features. For details on GCC 8 release series.
* Linaro specific pre-processor macros to ensure that this is a
continuation from the Linaro releases.
* Spectre v1 mitigation backport from upstream FSF trunk include the
revisions. This is an initial backport of those mitigations in
the GNU toolchain and should be regarded as support for prototyping
and early access only. Moreover, while the backports include support
for the other architectures, they are included for completeness and
all issues regarding these patches must be taken up upstream in the
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla by reproducing the same with upstream
FSF trunk.
Arm is interested in feedback regarding these workarounds for
Spectre v1.
A description of the mitigation has been published on LWN.net.
