Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2021-06-10 16:22:27 UTC
Modern superscalar processors may employ sophisticated decoding and caching of the instruction stream to improve performance.  However, a consequence is that self-modifying code updates may not take effect instantly. Whatever the architectural guarantees, some CPUs have microarchitectural behaviour whereby the stale instruction stream may be speculatively decoded and executed. Speculation of this form can suffer from type confusion in registers, and potentially leak data.
