    Abstract: Generally, this disclosure provides systems, methods and computer readable media for a page table edit controller configured to control access to guest page tables by virtual machine (VM) guest software through the manipulation of extended page tables. The system may include a translation look-aside buffer (TLB) to maintain a policy to lock one or more guest linear addresses (GLAs) to one or more allowable guest physical addresses (GPAs); a page walk processor to update the TLB based on the guest page tables; and a page table edit control (PTEC) module to: identify entries of the guest page tables that map GLAs associated with the policy to a first GPA; verify that the mapping conforms to the policy; and place the guest page table into one of a plurality of restricted accessibility states based on the verification, the restricted accessibility applied to the VM guests and to the page walk processor.
