Interesting that some of the BSDs (Dragonfly, FreeBSD) are listed as Affected and others (NetBSD and OpenBSD) are listed as Not Affected.

- mmillin 9y agoThere isn't one BSD kernel like there is one Linux kernel, there are several different ones which might borrow from each other, but are developed independently. A comparison can be found on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_operating_system_kernels https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_operating_system...
- barkingcat 9y agoDragonfly descends from FreeBSD so it makes sense that it's affected. The other BSD's have different kernels and vastly different development histories as well.
- amluto 9y agoSome BSDs never allowed debug register writes in the first place, so they were immune.
