Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for authenticating extended service microcode updates. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: storing extended service microcode update (MCU) in a memory of a processor; reading processor signature data, platform identification data, and processor extended service data from one or more registers of the processor; identifying MCU extended service period data based on processor signature data and platform identification data; determining whether to apply the extended service MCU on the processor based on a comparison between the MCU extended service period data and the processor extended service data.

Abstract: A system includes a processor core and main memory. The processor core is to, in response to execution of a patch-load instruction, retrieve, from a predetermined area of the main memory, memory protection metadata and a memory range of reserved memory, wherein the reserved memory is not flexibly convertible to enclave pages. The processor core is further to retrieve a bit from an architectural control register, wherein a value of the bit is to indicate whether an operating system is capable of management of flexibly-convertible enclave pages. The processor core is further to activate, using the memory protection metadata and one of the first information or the second information, a mode of protected memory management for the processor core in response to the value of the bit in the architectural control register.
