FYI,

I’ve published a draft JEP [1] to cover the work needed to limit speculative execution for Java applications.

This JEP covers the initial work to make use of new C++ compiler options to limit speculative execution in native code in the JDK. Some changes related to this work have been through a first round of review [2]. The changes required to limit speculative execution in code generated by the JVM is in development, in collaboration with the OpenJDK Vulnerability Group, and details will be added to the JEP as the work progresses.
