摘要： In one embodiment of the present invention, a method includes switching between a first address space and a second address space, determining if the second address space exists in a list of address spaces; and maintaining entries of the first address space in a translation buffer after the switching. In such manner, overhead associated with such a context switch may be reduced.

摘要： A processor of an aspect includes a decode unit to decode a user-level suspend thread instruction that is to indicate a first alternate state. The processor also includes an execution unit coupled with the decode unit. The execution unit is to perform the instruction at a user privilege level. The execution unit in response to the instruction, is to: (a) suspend execution of a user-level thread, from which the instruction is to have been received; (b) transition a logical processor, on which the user-level thread was to have been running, to the indicated first alternate state; and (c) resume the execution of the user-level thread, when the logical processor is in the indicated first alternate state, with a latency that is to be less than half a latency that execution of a thread can be resumed when the logical processor is in a halt processor power state.

摘要： Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to instructions to reset software thread runtime property histories in a hardware processor are described. In one embodiment, a hardware processor includes a hardware guide scheduler comprising a plurality of software thread runtime property histories; a decoder to decode a single instruction into a decoded single instruction, the single instruction having a field that identifies a model-specific register; and an execution circuit to execute the decoded single instruction to check that an enable bit of the model-specific register is set, and when the enable bit is set, to reset the plurality of software thread runtime property histories of the hardware guide scheduler.

摘要： A processor includes a decode unit to decode an instruction that is to indicate a page of a protected container memory, and a storage location outside of the protected container memory. An execution unit, in response to the instruction, is to ensure that there are no writable references to the page of the protected container memory while it has a write protected state. The execution unit is to encrypt a copy of the page of the protected container memory. The execution unit is to store the encrypted copy of the page to the storage location outside of the protected container memory, after it has been ensured that there are no writable references. The execution unit is to leave the page of the protected container memory in the write protected state, which is also valid and readable, after the encrypted copy has been stored to the storage location.

摘要： Implementations describe providing isolation in virtualized systems using trust domains. In one implementation, a processing device includes a memory ownership table (MOT) that is access-controlled against software access. The processing device further includes a processing core to execute a trust domain resource manager (TDRM) to manage a trust domain (TD), maintain a trust domain control structure (TDCS) for managing global metadata for each TD, maintain an execution state of the TD in at least one trust domain thread control structure (TD-TCS) that is access-controlled against software accesses, and reference the MOT to obtain at least one key identifier (key ID) corresponding to an encryption key assigned to the TD, the key ID to allow the processing device to decrypt memory pages assigned to the TD responsive to the processing device executing in the context of the TD, the memory pages assigned to the TD encrypted with the encryption key.

摘要： A processor executes an untrusted VMM that manages execution of a guest workload. The processor also populates an entry in a memory ownership table for the guest workload. The memory ownership table is indexed by an original hardware physical address, the entry comprises an expected guest address that corresponds to the original hardware physical address, and the entry is encrypted with a key domain key. In response to receiving a request from the guest workload to access memory using a requested guest address, the processor (a) obtains, from the untrusted VMM, a hardware physical address that corresponds to the requested guest address; (b) uses that physical address as an index to find an entry in the memory ownership table; and (c) verifies whether the expected guest address from the found entry matches the requested guest address. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
