Abstract: A method of producing a control stack includes: writing a plurality of control information entries into a control stack buffer that is internal to a processor in response to one or more function calls; and in response to the control stack buffer being full and receiving a further function call, writing: the plurality of control information entries to an external memory that is external to the processor; and a further control information entry, corresponding to the further function call, to the control stack buffer.

Abstract: Techniques for enforcing flow control of a software program in a processor are provided. An example method according to these techniques includes analyzing program code of the software program to identify a code pointer in the program code, generating an authentication tag based on the code pointer, and modifying the code pointer in the program code with the authentication tag to generate a tagged code pointer.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for instruction perturbation for improved device security are described. A device may assign a set of executable instructions to an instruction packet based on a parameter associated with the instruction packet, and each executable instruction of the set of executable instructions may be independent from other executable instructions of the set of executable instructions. The device may select an order of the set of executable instructions based on a slot instruction rule associated with the device, and each executable instruction of the set of executable instructions may correspond to a respective slot associated with memory of the device. The device may modify the order of the set of executable instructions in a memory hierarchy post pre-decode based on the slot instruction rule and process the set of executable instructions of the instruction packet based on the modified order.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and devices for generating a memory map configured to map virtual addresses of pages to physical addresses, in which pages of a same size are grouped into regions. The embodiments may include adding a first entry for a first additional page to a first region in the memory map, shifting virtual addresses of the first region to accommodate a shift of virtual addresses of the first region allocated for code by a sub-page granular shift amount, mapping shifted virtual addresses of the first entry for the first additional page to physical address mapped to a first lowest shifted virtually addressed page of the first region, and shifting the virtual addresses of the first region allocated for code by a sub-page granular shift amount, in which the virtual addresses of the first region allocated for code partially shift into the first entry for the first additional page.
