Chapter 2. Differences between java and alt-java
Similarities exist between alt-java
and java
binaries, with the exception of the SSB mitigation.
Although the SBB mitigation patch exists only for x86-64 architecture, Intel and AMD, the alt-java
exists on all architectures. For non-x86 architectures, the alt-java
binary is identical to java
binary, except alt-java
has no patches.
