Indirect branch tracking (IBT), also known as branch target identification (BTI), is a control flow integrity mechanism implemented on some Intel x86-64 and ARM-64 processors.

For instance, a released version of the software project may form one branch, used for bug fixes, while a version under current development, with major changes and new features, can form a separate branch. CVS assumes that the majority of work takes place on the trunk, and that branches should generally be short-lived or historical.

The underlying function of a pull request is no different than that of an administrator of a repository pulling changes from another ...
The starting point of the white paper is that of a side-channel timing attack [58] applied to the branch prediction machinery of modern microprocessors with speculative execution. While at the architectural level documented in processor data books, any results of misprediction are specified to be discarded after the fact, the resulting ...
