Linux kernel mitigations for Xeon E5 CPUs are primarily for Spectre, Meltdown,
and MDS vulnerabilities, and they can be managed through boot parameters like
mitigations=off to disable them for performance, or through newer mitigations=
options that allow selective disabling. Older hardware like the Xeon E5 can
see significant performance impacts from these mitigations, which may be more
pronounced than on newer CPUs. The decision to disable mitigations depends on
your threat model, as it reduces security against speculative execution
attacks.
