Query about "Speculative Execution" Bug and RHEL Hosted In Virtualized Environments

Latest response

If the virtualization layer (say, AWS, Azure, etc.) has been remediated and the CSP is eating the 30% hit at the hardware level, are guests riding that CSP hardware going to take a further 30% hit against their CPU allocation? Or, does the remediation set some kind of flag that gets passed up from the virtualization layer so that the fix-code sees "already safe - nothing for me to do at this layer"?
