Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for identifying a stack pointer associated with a sequence of code being executed on a computing system and counting a number of exchange updates to the stack pointer. Additionally, a hardware interrupt may be generated if the number of exchange updates reaches a threshold. In one example, the hardware interrupt is a performance monitoring interrupt.
