Just FYI - Foreshadow is trivial to mitigate when the host controls the kernel of the guests (e.g., OpenVZ)
2.6.32-042stab is probably the most code audited kernel in the history of Linux, just saying...
Yes, OpenBSD Theo also called it something like the most trivial of the bunch. But of course the attention factor is MUCH higher when the danger level raises from cross core to "infecting across network and cloud !!!!!!!!".
The real evil ones in the current bunch are the ones that get far less attention. Unfortunately but not uncommon.
Thats the reason Google have their own custom designed CPU processors. One of my friend working in Canada told me about this.
