Abstract
Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for performing Spectre mitigation on a workload. The method includes starting, by at least one processor of a plurality of processors, a process. The at least one processor determines that the process is a kernel process. The at least one processor determines that an interrupt has occurred in response to the determination that the process is a kernel process. The at least one processor processes the interrupt in response to determining that an interrupt has occurred. The at least one processor suppresses a malware mitigation to be applied to the kernel process in response to interrupt being processed.
