Abstract:
Trusted platform telemetry mechanisms and associated methods, apparatus, and firmware components. Trusted telemetry mechanisms are provided for securely collecting platform telemetry data from telemetry data sources on a compute platform, such as machine specific registers (MSRs), device registers, system management bus (SMBus) and memory controllers. The telemetry data is collected from the telemetry data sources using various mechanisms, and securely stored on the compute platform in a manner that is inaccessible to software running on the compute platform. A submission queue and completion queue model may also be implemented to facilitate collection of telemetry data. In addition, a memory-mapped input-output (MMIO) aliasing scheme is provided to facilitate collection of telemetry data from platform telemetry data sources using various access mechanisms.
