    Abstract: Secure memory repartitioning technologies are described. Embodiments of the disclosure may include a processing device including a processor core and a memory controller coupled between the processor core and a memory device. The memory device includes a memory range including a section of convertible pages that are convertible to secure pages or non-secure pages. The processor core is to receive a non-secure access request to a page in the memory device, responsive to a determination, based on one or more secure state bits in one or more secure state bit arrays, that the page is a secure page, insert an abort page address into a translation lookaside buffer, and responsive to a determination, based on the one or more secure state bits in the one or more secure state bit arrays, that the page is a non-secure page, insert the page into the translation lookaside buffer.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for tracking speculative execution flow and detecting potential vulnerabilities. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: an instruction fetcher to fetch instructions from a cache or system memory; a branch predictor to speculate a first instruction path to be taken comprising a first sequence of instructions; a decoder to decode the first sequence of instructions; execution circuitry to execute the first sequence of instructions and process data associated with the instruction to generate results; information flow tracking circuitry and/or logic to: assign labels to all or a plurality of instructions in the first sequence of instructions, track resource usage of the plurality of instructions using the labels, merge sets of labels to remove redundancies; and responsive to detecting that the first instruction path was mis-predicted, generating one or more summaries comprising resources affected by one or more of the first sequence of instructions; and recycling labels responsive to retirement of instructions associated with the labels.

    Abstract: Translation lookaside buffer (TLB) tracking and managing technologies are described. A processing device comprises a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) and a processing core to execute a virtual machine monitor (VMM), the VMM to manage a virtual machine (VM) including virtual processors. The processing core to execute, via the VM, a plurality of conversion instructions on at least one of the virtual processors to convert a plurality of non-secure pages to a plurality of secure pages. The processing core also to execute, via the VM, one or more allocation instructions on the at least one of the virtual processors to allocate at least one secure page of the plurality of secure pages, execution of the one or more allocation instructions to include determining whether the TLB is cleared of mappings to the at least one secure page prior to allocating the at least one secure page.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with application execution enclave memory page cache management, are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus may include a processor with processor supports for application execution enclaves; memory organized into a plurality of host physical memory pages; and a virtual machine monitor to be operated by the processor to manage operation of virtual machines. Management of operation of the virtual machines may include facilitation of mapping of virtual machine-physical memory pages of the virtual machines to the host physical memory pages, including maintenance of an unallocated subset of the host physical memory pages to receive increased security protection for selective allocation to the virtual machines, for virtualization and selective allocation to application execution enclaves of applications of the virtual machines. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
