Obscuring memory access patterns in conjunction with deadlock detection or avoidance

摘要: Methods, apparatus and systems for memory access obscuration are provided. A first embodiment provides in conjunction with deadlock avoidance. Such utilizes processor features including an instruction to enable monitoring of specified cache lines that sets a status bit responsive any foreign (e.g., write or eviction due read) the lines. second detection. feature, as well handler registration. user-level may be asynchronously invoked Invocation more frequently than expected indicates have been encountered. In such case, policy enforced. Other embodiments also described claimed.
