ADDRESS-SPACE-IDENTIFIER-BASED SECURITY OF DATA TRANSFER REQUESTS
摘要:
A processor configured to execute one or more virtual machines (VMs) includes an input-output memory management unit (IOMMU) configured to handle memory-mapped input-output (MMIO) requests and direct memory access (DMA) requests from a processor core of the processor or one or more input/output (I/O) devices. In response to receiving an MMIO or DMA request, the IOMMU is configured to determine a VM associated with the request. The IOMMU then checks a security indicator field of an address space identifier (ASID) mask table to determine if the VM was previously the target of an attack by a malicious entity. In response to the VM previously being a target of an attack, the IOMMU denies the received MMIO or DMA request.
