There's a perl script on the debian mailing list that digs a bit deeper and tells you if you're affected in the first place, if you're affected but patched already, affected but have HT disabled, etc.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/06/msg01011.html

I ported this to bash since I have a chromebook w/o perl and (as for right now) the fs is read-only, so I just piped the script to it and sure enough my brand-new Samsung Chromebook Pro appears to be vulnerable, though apparently patchable.

Details and if you want the script I link to it from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromebook... - don't judge my shitty bash skills.
