  • Patent number: 10592421
    Abstract: Instructions and logic provide advanced paging capabilities for secure enclave page caches. Embodiments include multiple hardware threads or processing cores, a cache to store secure data for a shared page address allocated to a secure enclave accessible by the hardware threads. A decode stage decodes a first instruction specifying said shared page address as an operand, and execution units mark an entry corresponding to an enclave page cache mapping for the shared page address to block creation of a new translation for either of said first or second hardware threads to access the shared page. A second instruction is decoded for execution, the second instruction specifying said secure enclave as an operand, and execution units record hardware threads currently accessing secure data in the enclave page cache corresponding to the secure enclave, and decrement the recorded number of hardware threads when any of the hardware threads exits the secure enclave.

  • Patent number: 9767044
    Abstract: Secure memory repartitioning technologies are described. A processor includes a processor core and a memory controller coupled between the processor core and main memory. The main memory includes a memory range including a section of convertible pages that are convertible to secure pages or non-secure pages. The processor core, in response to a page conversion instruction, is to determine from the instruction a convertible page in the memory range to be converted and convert the convertible page to be at least one of a secure page or a non-secure page. The memory range may also include a hardware reserved section that is convertible in response to a section conversion instruction.
