Abstract: One embodiment provides an apparatus. The apparatus includes a linear address space, metadata logic and enhanced address space layout randomization (ASLR) logic. The linear address space includes a metadata data structure. The metadata logic is to generate a metadata value. The enhanced ASLR logic is to combine the metadata value and a linear address into an address pointer and to store the metadata value to the metadata data structure at a location pointed to by a least a portion of the linear address. The address pointer corresponds to an apparent address in an enhanced address space. A size of the enhanced address space is greater than a size of the linear address space.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses relating to memory corruption detection are described. In one embodiment, a hardware processor includes an execution unit to execute an instruction to request access to a block of a memory through a pointer to the block of the memory, and a memory management unit to allow access to the block of the memory when a memory corruption detection value in the pointer is validated with a memory corruption detection value in the memory for the block, wherein a position of the memory corruption detection value in the pointer is selectable between a first location and a second, different location.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to spatial and temporal merging of remote atomic operations. In one example, a system includes an RAO instruction queue stored in a memory and having entries grouped by destination cache line, each entry to enqueue an RAO instruction including an opcode, a destination identifier, and source data, optimization circuitry to receive an incoming RAO instruction, scan the RAO instruction queue to detect a matching enqueued RAO instruction identifying a same destination cache line as the incoming RAO instruction, the optimization circuitry further to, responsive to no matching enqueued RAO instruction being detected, enqueue the incoming RAO instruction; and, responsive to a matching enqueued RAO instruction being detected, determine whether the incoming and matching RAO instructions have a same opcode to non-overlapping cache line elements, and, if so, spatially combine the incoming and matching RAO instructions by enqueuing both RAO instructions in a same group of cache line queue entries at different offsets.

Abstract: A processing device including a linear address transformation circuit to determine that a metadata value stored in a portion of a linear address falls within a pre-defined metadata range. The metadata value corresponds to a plurality of metadata bits. The linear address transformation circuit to replace each of the plurality of the metadata bits with a constant value.

Abstract: An example system on a chip (SoC) includes a processor, a cache, and a main memory. The SoC can include a first memory to store data in a memory line, wherein the memory line is set to an invalid state. The processor can include a processor coupled to the first memory. The processor can determine that a data size of a first data set received from an application is within a data size range. The processor can determine that an aggregate data size of the first data set and a second data set received from the application is at least a same data size as data size of the memory line. The processor can perform an invalid-to-modify (I2M) operation to change the memory line from the invalid state to a modified state. The processor can write the first data set and the second data set to the memory line.

Abstract: Memory corruption detection technologies are described. A system on a chip (SoC) may include a memory device and a memory controller. The memory device may store data from an application, wherein the memory device comprises a memory corruption detection (MCD) table. The memory controller may be coupled to the memory device. The memory controller may allocate a contiguous memory block in the memory and write a MCD word into the MCD table. The MCD word may include a write protection indicator that indicates a protection mode of a first portion of the contiguous memory block.

Abstract: A processor includes a front end to decode instructions, an execution unit to execute instructions, multiple caches at different cache hierarchy levels, a pipelined prefetcher, and a retirement unit to retire instructions. The prefetcher includes circuitry to receive a demand request for data at a first address within a first line in a memory and, in response, to provide the data at the first address to the execution unit for consumption, to prefetch a second line at a first offset distance from the first line into a mid-level cache, and to prefetch a third line at a second offset distance from the second line into a last-level cache. The prefetcher includes circuitry to prefetch, in response to another demand request, the third line into the mid-level cache, and a fourth line into the last-level cache. The prefetcher enforces minimum or maximum offset distances between prefetched data streams.
