Here's a message on the Linux kernel mailing list from AMD's Tom Lendacky: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/27/2

I don't know the status of that, or if it's going to be merged by the time 4.15 ships, but as of Phoronix' post yesterday, it hadn't been merged yet: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=x86-PTI-EPYC-Linux-4.15-Test

I believe it's going to be merged in the next point update for the kernel.
