Speculative Store Bypass

ISSUE DESCRIPTION Contemporary high performance processors may use a technique commonly known as Memory Disambiguation, whereby speculative execution may proceed past unresolved stores. This opens a speculative sidechannel in which loads from an address which have had a recent store can observe a...
