RFC: Speculative Load Hardening (a Spectre variant #1 mitigation)
Hello all, I've been working for the last month or so on a comprehensive mitigation approach to variant #1 of Spectre. There are a bunch of reasons why this is desirable: - Critical software that is unlikely to be easily hand-mitigated (or where the performance tradeoff isn't worth it) will have a compelling option. - It gives us a baseline on performance for hand-mitigation. - Combined
