Abstract
In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a binary translator can perform address shifting on the binary code of an executing application. Address shifting serves to shift the addresses of memory operations that can access locations in the kernel address space into address locations in the user space, thus avoiding speculative access into the kernel address space.
