1. An apparatus, comprising: a processing element configured to execute control transfer instructions (CTIs) within an instruction stream in program order, wherein the processing element includes: a branch unit configured to set a misprediction indication in response to a misprediction of a control transfer instruction (CTI) in the instruction stream, wherein the branch unit is configured to reset the misprediction indication in response to a reset event that is based on at least one instruction in the instruction stream that is older than the mispredicted CTI.
