Thanks! I'll take a look at his book. You're talking about "MOS", right?

Yep, it might not be exactly how it works in the current Linux kernel but the underlying principles are solid.

That and Structured Computer Organization. MOS is software-focused, SCO is hardware-focused. Both have some overlap, of course. Meltdown/Spectre are hardware bugs at their core, so having a more thorough understanding of hardware is helpful with them.
