Janek Kozicki posted a new comment:
I just had another idea: maybe it depends on the linux kernel version.
There were several vulnerabilities discovered in Intel processors. One
of the called „rowhammer” was a vulnerability where by toggling certain
bits you could affect other bits in RAM. Interaction mask works by
checking individual bits. Maybe a side effect of fixing this
vulnerability is that the old-good bitmask stops working. If this is
true, then there shouldn’t be a problem on AMD processor, or on an older
kernel version.
