    摘要: An apparatus is provided for providing security in a computer system. The apparatus comprises an address generator, a multi-level lookup table, and a cache. The address generator is adapted for producing an address associated with a memory location in the computer system. The multi-level lookup table is adapted for receiving at least a portion of said address and delivering security attributes stored therein associated with said address, wherein the security attributes are associated with each page of memory in the computer system. The cache is a high-speed memory that contains a subset of the information contained in the multi-level lookup table, and may be used to speed the overall retrieval of the requested security attributes when the requested information is present in the cache.

    摘要: The initialization of a computer system including a secure execution mode-capable processor includes storing a secure operating system code segment loader to a plurality of locations corresponding to a particular range of addresses within a system memory. The method also includes executing a security initialization instruction. Executing the security initialization instruction may cause several operations to be performed including transmitting a start transaction including a base address of the particular range of addresses. In addition, executing the security instruction may also cause another operation to be performed including retrieving the secure operating system code segment loader from the system memory and transmitting the secure operating system code segment loader for validation as a plurality of data transactions.

    摘要: A method is provided for controlling interrupts in a secure execution mode-capable processor. The method includes detecting an interrupt and performing a predetermined routine in response to detecting the interrupt. The method further includes performing a second routine prior to performing the predetermined routine in response to detecting the interrupt depending upon whether the processor is operating in a secure execution mode.

    摘要: A method of controlling access to an address translation data structure of a computer system. The computer system includes a processor having a normal execution mode and a secure execution mode. The method includes executing code and generating a linear address. During translation of the linear address into a physical address, the method also includes generating a read-only page fault exception during the normal execution mode in response to detecting a software invoked write access to an address translation data structure having a read/write attribute set to be read-only. The method further includes selectively generating either the read-only page fault exception or a security exception during the secure execution mode in response to detecting the software invoked write access.

    摘要: A computer system includes a processor which may initialize a secure execution mode by executing a security initialization instruction. Further, the processor may operate in the secure execution mode by executing a secure operating system code segment. The computer system also includes an input/output (I/O) interface coupled to the processor via an I/O link. The I/O interface may receive transactions performed as a result of the execution of the security initialization instruction. The transactions include at least a portion of the secure operating system code segment. The I/O interface may also determine whether the processor is a source of the transactions. The computer system further includes a security services processor coupled to the I/O interface via a peripheral bus. The I/O interface may convey the transactions to the security services processor dependent upon determining that the processor is the source of the transactions.

    摘要: A system is configured to selectively block peripheral accesses to system memory. The system includes a secure execution mode (SEM)-capable processor configured to operate in a trusted execution mode. The system also includes a system memory including a plurality of addressable locations. The system further includes a memory controller that may determine a source of an access request to one or more of the plurality of locations of the system memory. The memory controller may further allow the access request to proceed in response to determining that the source of the access request is the SEM-capable processor.
