Abstract: Embodiments of exitless guest to host (G2H) notification are described. In some embodiments, G2H is provided via an instruction. An exemplary processor includes decoder circuitry to decode a single instruction, the single instruction to include a field for an opcode; and execution processing resources to execute the decoded single instruction according to the at least the opcode to cause an exitless guest to host notification from a virtual processor to a physical or virtual processor.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for efficient TLB (translation look-aside buffer) shoot-downs for heterogeneous devices sharing virtual memory in a multi-core system. Embodiments of an apparatus for efficient TLB shoot-downs may include a TLB to store virtual address translation entries, and a memory management unit, coupled with the TLB, to maintain PASID (process address space identifier) state entries corresponding to the virtual address translation entries. The PASID state entries may include an active reference state and a lazy-invalidation state. The memory management unit may perform atomic modification of PASID state entries responsive to receiving PASID state update requests from devices in the multi-core system and read the lazy-invalidation state of the PASID state entries. The memory management unit may send PASID state update responses to the devices to synchronize TLB entries prior to activation responsive to the respective lazy-invalidation state.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for supervisor mode execution protection are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor includes an interface to access a memory, execution hardware, and control logic. A region in the memory is user memory. The execution hardware is to execute an instruction. The control logic is to prevent the execution hardware from executing the instruction when the instruction is stored in user memory and the processor is in supervisor mode.

Abstract: An example processing system may comprise: a lower stack bound register configured to store a first memory address, the first memory address identifying a lower bound of a memory addressable via a stack segment; an upper stack bound register configured to store a second memory address, the second memory address identifying an upper bound of the memory addressable via the stack segment; and a stack bounds checking logic configured to detect unauthorized stack pivoting, by comparing a memory address being accessed via the stack segment with at least one of the first memory address and the second memory address.

Abstract: Method, apparatus and system embodiments to schedule OS-independent "shreds" without intervention of an operating system. For at least one embodiment, the shred is scheduled for execution by a scheduler routine rather than the operating system. A scheduler routine may run on each enabled sequencer. The schedulers may retrieve shred descriptors from a queue system. The sequencer associated with the scheduler may then execute the shred described by the descriptor. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
