  • System and method for deadlock free bus protection of resources during search execution
    Patent number: 8145816
    Abstract: A method and system of deadlock free bus protection of memory and I/O resources during secure execution. A bus cycle initiates entry of a bus agent into a secure execution mode. The chipset records an identifier of the secure mode processor. Thereafter, the chipset intercedes if another bus agent attempts a security sensitive bus cycle before the secure mode processor exits the secure mode.
