I wonder if high resolution timers were privileged, we could get by with lower resolution timers. I'm not sure any timing attacks would work with second or even millisecond resolution timers. I don't see handling this at the programming language could help, and I think that whether timing is privileged or not is built into CPUs so there's nothing we can do about it, but this seems plausibly acceptable to deal with speculation. Permit speculation, but make it privileged to detect if speculation occurred.
