摘要: Method and system for providing hardware-enforced synchronization serialization mechanisms, such as semaphores, to allow control of access memory regions within a computer system. In addition the traditional semaphore protocol, hardware enforced semaphores are associated with protection keys selected from pool that those regions. Hardware-enforced insertion deletion protection-key registers internal data structures in order enforce grants provided by protocol.
