hardware: Micro-architectural Load Port Data Sampling - Information Leak (MLPDS)

Microprocessors use a ‘load port’ subcomponent to perform load operations from memory or IO. During a load operation, the load port receives data from the memory or IO subsystem and then provides the data to the CPU registers and operations in the CPU’s pipelines. Stale load operations results ar...
