Hi all,
I read the ARM “Spectre BHB: Speculative Target Reuse Attacks” white paper and I wanted to ask for clarification on how CSV2 works.From my understanding, CSV2 adds process identifiers to each entry so that a different context without the same ID cannot use an entry that does not match. So on prediction, the IDs must match for the entry to be used; otherwise, the branch is treated as not taken. However, on update, the ID check does not apply, and a new entry can overwrite an existing one even if the IDs differ.Is this understanding correct? Any additional clarification would be appreciated.Thanks
