This exploit isn't at all related to the Intel CVE, just a coincidence they came out around the same time. And an instruction set that strips everything but the necessary instructions sounds a lot like ARM or RISC-V. No need to re-invent the wheel.
- I_Am_Nous 3y agoI'm just thinking about Windows. They are trying to do ARM again, but x86/64 is where they have stayed for compatibility reasons. At a certain point old software won't run on new Windows anyway, so it won't need hardware compatibility with older instructions to facilitate that. Eventually something will have to change, and is it less work for Intel to shift to ARM than to strip x86?
- krasin 3y ago> an instruction set that strips everything but the necessary instructions sounds a lot like ARM Have you, by any chance, looked into the contemporary ARM instruction set? Just the list of base instructions for A-profile with 1-2 instructions per line takes 14 pages. And then there are SIMD&FP Instructions, SVE Instructions, SME Instructions. Oh, and also M-profile, and Thumb / Thumb-2 instructions encodings, and more.
