A process is introduced that determines contour requirements from many factors. Based on the contour requirements, the process either generates at least one content-derived signature contour from either many content identifiers or at least one content-derived signature contour, or generates at least one optimized content-derived signature contour from contour-related data and either at least one content-derived signature contour or a derivation from at least one content-derived signature contour.

A method and apparatus to enable efficient processing and transmission of network communications are described. A network transmission directed to one or more destination nodes within a network is received. One or more network transmission items are identified in the network transmission. One or more item signatures associated with the one or more network transmission items are generated. Finally, a determination is made whether the one or more network transmission items can be transmitted to the one or more destination nodes by further processing the one or more item signatures.

A method is presented that includes generating a content identifier for at least one article. The content identifier identifies the article. Also, determining if at least a portion of the at least one article is present on at least one device based on the content identifier. The at least one portion of the at least one article is stored if the at least one portion of the at least one article is determined to be not present on the at least one device. Also presented is a method including requesting at least one article by a content identifier representing the article. The at least one article is determined if it is present on at least one device based on the content identifier. At least one portion of the at least one article is returned if the at least one portion of the at least one article is determined to be present on the at least one device.

This disclosure is directed to a system for address mapping and translation protection. In one embodiment, processing circuitry may include a virtual machine manager (VMM) to control specific guest linear address (GLA) translations. Control may be implemented in a performance sensitive and secure manner, and may be capable of improving performance for critical linear address page walks over legacy operation by removing some or all of the cost of page walking extended page tables (EPTs) for critical mappings. Alone or in combination with the above, certain portions of a page table structure may be selectively made immutable by a VMM or early boot process using a sub-page policy (SPP). For example, SPP may enable non-volatile kernel and/or user space code and data virtual-to-physical memory mappings to be made immutable (e.g., non-writable) while allowing for modifications to non-protected portions of the OS paging structures and particularly the user space.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for efficient TLB (translation look-aside buffer) shoot-downs for heterogeneous devices sharing virtual memory in a multi-core system. Embodiments of an apparatus for efficient TLB shoot-downs may include a TLB to store virtual address translation entries, and a memory management unit, coupled with the TLB, to maintain PASID (process address space identifier) state entries corresponding to the virtual address translation entries. The PASID state entries may include an active reference state and a lazy-invalidation state. The memory management unit may perform atomic modification of PASID state entries responsive to receiving PASID state update requests from devices in the multi-core system and read the lazy-invalidation state of the PASID state entries. The memory management unit may send PASID state update responses to the devices to synchronize TLB entries prior to activation responsive to the respective lazy-invalidation state.

Various embodiments of this disclosure may describe method, apparatus and system for reducing system latency caused by switching memory page permission views between programs while still protecting critical regions of the memory from attacks of malwares. Other embodiments may be disclosed and claimed.
摘要:
Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for controlling virtual machines based on performance counters are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an event counter, a comparator, and virtualization control logic. The event counter is to keep an event count based on the number of occurrences of an event. The comparator is to determine whether the event count has reached a threshold value. The virtualization control logic is to transfer control of the apparatus from a guest to a host in response to the comparator determining that the event count has reached the threshold value.

Embodiments of apparatuses and methods for processing virtualization events in a layered virtualization architecture are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a event logic and evaluation logic. The event logic is to recognize a virtualization event. The evaluation logic is to determine whether to transfer control from a child guest to a parent guest in response to the virtualization event.

Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for executing a protected device model in a virtual machine are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes recognition logic, memory management logic, control logic, and execution logic. The recognition logic is to recognize an indication, during execution of first code on a virtual machine, that the first code is attempting to access a device. The memory management logic is to prevent the virtual machine from accessing a portion of memory during execution of the first code, and to allow the virtual machine to access the portion of memory in response to the indication. The control logic is to transfer control of the apparatus from the first code to second code stored in the portion of memory, without exiting the virtual machine. The execution logic is to execute the second code to model the device.
