Abstract: In some examples, for process-to-process communication, such as in function linking, a virtual channel can be provisioned to provide virtual machine to virtual machine communications. In response to a transmit request from a source virtual machine, the virtual channel can cause a data copy from a source buffer associated with the source virtual machine without decryption or encryption. The virtual channel provisions a key identifier for the copied data. The destination virtual machine can receive an indication data is available and can cause the data to be decrypted using a key accessed using the key identifier and source address of the copied data. In addition, the data can be encrypted using a second, different key for storage in a destination buffer associated with the destination virtual machine. In some examples, the key identifier and source address is managed by the virtual channel and is not visible to virtual machine or hypervisor.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for performing address pre-translation to enhance direct memory access by hardware subsystems is described herein. An apparatus embodiment includes a processor to execute an enqueue instruction to submit, to a hardware subsystem, a job descriptor describing a job to be performed. The job descriptor includes virtual addresses of memory locations in which data required to perform the job are stored. An input-output memory management unit (IOMMU) is to obtain the address translations for the virtual addresses responsive to a pre-translation request from the processor. The address translations is obtained by the IOMMU prior to receiving a memory access request from the hardware subsystem. The IOMMU is to retrieve the data from the memory location using the address translations and to provide the retrieved data to the hardware subsystem to fulfill the request.
