摘要:
A method of transmitting and receiving data from a multi-homing network device to a data network is disclosed and includes defining a network policy and transmitting the network policy to a routing module. Further, the method includes receiving a route scope from the routing module. The route scope identifies a subset of data interfaces to the data network that satisfy the network policy wherein the subset of data interfaces are selected from a set of available data interfaces and wherein the subset of data interfaces includes at least one data interface.

A computer system and a method are provided that reduce the amount of time and computing resources that are required to perform a hardware table walk (HWTW) in the event that a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) miss occurs. If a TLB miss occurs when performing a stage 2 (S2) HWTW to find the PA at which a stage 1 (S1) page table is stored, the MMU uses the IPA to predict the corresponding PA, thereby avoiding the need to perform any of the S2 table lookups. This greatly reduces the number of lookups that need to be performed when performing these types of HWTW read transactions, which greatly reduces processing overhead and performance penalties associated with performing these types of transactions.
摘要:
A security apparatus and method are provided for performing a security algorithm that prevents unauthorized access to contents of a physical address (PA) that have been loaded into a storage element of the computer system as a result of performing a prediction algorithm during a hardware table walk that uses a predictor to predict a PA based on a virtual address (VA). When the predictor is enabled, it might be possible for a person with knowledge of the system to configure the predictor to cause contents stored at a PA of a secure portion of the main memory to be loaded into a register in the TLB. In this way, a person who should not have access to contents stored in secure portions of the main memory could indirectly gain unauthorized access to those contents. The apparatus and method prevent such unauthorized access to the contents by masking the contents under certain conditions.
