    摘要: Disclosed are a processor and processing method that provide non-hierarchical computer security enhancements for context states. The processor can comprise a context control unit that uses context identifier tags associated with corresponding contexts to control access by the contexts to context information (i.e., context states) contained in the processor's non-stackable and/or stackable registers. For example, in response to an access request, the context control unit can grant a specific context access to a register only when that register is tagged with a specific context identifier tag. If the register is tagged with another context identifier tag, the contents of the specific register are saved in a context save area of memory and the previous context states of the specific context are restored to the specific register before access can be granted. The context control unit can also provide such computer security enhancements while still facilitating authorized cross-context and/or cross-level communications.

    摘要: A mechanism is provided for performing secure recursive virtualization of a computer system. A portion of memory is allocated by a virtual machine monitor (VMM) or an operating system (OS) to a new domain. An initial program for the new domain is loaded into the portion of memory. Secure recursive virtualization firmware (SVF) in the data processing system is called to request that the new domain be generated. A determination is made as to whether the call is from a privileged domain or a non-privileged domain. Responsive to the request being from a privileged domain, all access to the new domain is removed from any other domain in the data processing system. Responsive to receiving an indication that the new domain has been generated, an execution of the initial program is scheduled.

    摘要: A mechanism is provided, in a data processing system, for accessing memory based on an effective address submitted by a process of a partition. The mechanism may translate the effective address into a virtual address using a segment look-aside buffer. The mechanism may further translate the virtual address into a partition real address using a page table. Moreover, the mechanism may translate the partition real address into a system real address using a logical partition real memory map for the partition. The system real address may then be used to access the memory.

    摘要: Hardware mechanisms are provided for performing hardware based access control of instructions to data. These hardware mechanisms associate an instruction access policy label with an instruction to be processed by a processor and associate an operand access policy label with data to be processed by the processor. The instruction access policy label is passed along with the instruction through one or more hardware functional units of the processor. The operand access policy label is passed along with the data through the one or more hardware functional units of the processor. One or more hardware implemented policy engines associated with the one or more hardware functional units of the processor are utilized to control access by the instruction to the data based on the instruction access policy label and the operand access policy label.
