The attack only accesses things that pass through the L1 cache, so
things that are processed by the CPU while the attack is running.
The cache is small, so things don't hang around there, they are quickly
displaced by the running process. Unless you invoke something that
processes the information you ask about while the attack is running, it
won't be there.
