Zola Bridges from Google proposed a patch with an implementation of SESES (Speculative Execution Side Effect Suppression) protection for the LLVM compiler set, which helps block attacks on the speculative execution mechanism in Intel CPUs, similar to LVI. The protection method is implemented at the compiler level and is based on adding LFENCE instructions, which are inserted before each read instruction by the compiler during machine code generation […]

The canary is a small bird that sings continually. These birds are sensitive to methane and carbon monoxide. Even at low concentrations of excess gases in the air, they can lose consciousness or die. Gold miners and other miners took canaries with them as an indication: while the canaries sing, work can continue, but if they fall silent—it's time to leave the mine due to gas. Miners often sacrificed the little bird to escape.
