Abstract: A way to track data from an untrusted source as it moves through memory in original or modified form. A probe is placed on a data reception call of a program. When the probe is triggered by execution of the data reception call for a piece of data, a location where the piece of data is to be stored is marked. When a program instruction requests access to the marked location, instrumentation code is injected subsequent to the program instruction to track the flow of the piece of data. When the instrumentation code is executed, the next location where the piece of data will be stored is determined and marked as well. A threat analyzer is invoked to analyze the marked locations for threats.

Abstract: A method for improving accuracy of high resolution timers in a live partition migration comprises determining a status of each page of a plurality of pages to be copied from a source partition to a target partition during the live partition migration. One or more pages of the plurality of pages correspond to a respective high resolution timer. The method comprises determining that each of the one or more pages corresponding to a respective high resolution timer has a clean status. A clean status indicates that the corresponding page has been copied to the target partition and has not been modified subsequent to being copied to the target partition. The method also comprises halting operation of the source partition and initiating operation of the target partition in response to determining that each of the one or more pages corresponding to a respective high resolution timer has a clean status.
