BasicBlocker: ISA Redesign to Make Spectre-Immune CPUs Faster
[article]

pre-print
Recent research has revealed an ever-growing class of microarchitectural attacks that exploit speculative execution, a standard feature in modern processors. Proposed and deployed countermeasures involve a variety of compiler updates, firmware updates, and hardware updates. None of the deployed countermeasures have convincing security arguments, and many of them have already been broken. The obvious way to simplify the analysis of speculative-execution attacks is to eliminate speculative
