Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/linux-4.4.115/*: Upgraded.
This kernel includes full retpoline mitigation for the Spectre (variant 2)
speculative side channel attack.
Please note that this kernel was compiled with gcc-5.5.0, also provided as
an update for Slackware 14.2. You'll need to install the updated gcc in order
to compile kernel modules that will load into this updated kernel.
Be sure to upgrade your initrd after upgrading the kernel packages.
If you use lilo to boot your machine, be sure lilo.conf points to the correct
kernel and initrd and run lilo as root to update the bootloader.
If you use elilo to boot your machine, you should run eliloconfig to copy the
kernel and initrd to the EFI System Partition.
