You don't need to flush predictor state on every task switch, only when entering a less private context from a more private one. Systems with a feature known as multiple-level security (or "multiple levels of security") can be designed to track these privacy/information requirements automatically.


I'm not familiar with this concept of a "less private context" in computing.

Could you please link me to something I can read about it?


It's not something that's currently reified or supported as a feature in mainstream OS's, but multilevel security has been studied for a long time in an academic context.
