Abstract: Technologies for optimized binary translation include a computing device that determines a cost-benefit metric associated with each translated code block of a translation cache. The cost-benefit metric is indicative of translation cost and performance benefit associated with the translated code block. The translation cost may be determined by measuring translation time of the translated code block. The cost-benefit metric may be calculated using a weighted cost-benefit function based on an expected workload of the computing device. In response to determining to free space in the translation cache, the computing device determines whether to discard each translated code block as a function of the cost-benefit metric. In response to determining to free space in the translation cache, the computing device may increment an iteration count and skip each translated code block if the iteration count modulo the corresponding cost-benefit metric is non-zero. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A data processing system (DPS) supports control-flow integrity (CFI). The DPS comprises a processing element with a CFI enforcement mechanism that supports one or more CFI instructions. The DPS also comprises at least one machine-accessible medium responsive to the processing element. Managed code in the machine-accessible medium is configured (a) to execute in a managed runtime environment (MRE) in the data processing system, and (b) to transfer control out from the MRE to unmanaged code, in response to a transfer control statement in the managed code. The machine-accessible medium also comprises a binary translator which, when executed, converts unmanaged code in the data processing system into hardened unmanaged code (HUC) by including CFI features in the HUC. The CFI features comprise one or more CFI instructions to utilize the CFI enforcement mechanism of the processing element for transfers of control initiated by the HUC. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A micro-architecture may provide a hardware and software co-designed dynamic binary translation. The micro-architecture may invoke a method to perform a dynamic binary translation. The method may comprise executing original software code compiled targeting a first instruction set, using processor hardware to detect a hot spot in the software code and passing control to a binary translation translator, determining a hot spot region for translation, generating the translated code using a second instruction set, placing the translated code in a translation cache, executing the translated code from the translated cache, and transitioning back to the original software code after the translated code finishes execution.

Abstract: State recovery methods and apparatus for computing platforms are disclosed. An example method includes inserting, with a processor, a first instruction into optimized code to cause a first portion of a register in a first state to be saved to memory before execution of a region of the optimized code, maintaining, with the processor, a first indication of a first manner in which the first portion of the register is to be restored in connection with a state recovery after execution of the region of the optimized code, and maintaining, with the processor, a second indication of a second manner in which a second portion of the register is to be restored in connection with the state recovery after execution of the region of the optimized code.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is described herein for providing structures to support software memory re-ordering within atomic sections of code. Upon a start or end of a critical section, speculative bits of a translation buffer are reset. When a speculative memory access causes an address translation of a virtual address to a physical address, the translation buffer is searched to determine if another entry (a different virtual address) includes the same physical address. And if another entry does include the same physical address, the speculative execution is failed to provide protection from invalid execution resulting from the memory re-ordering.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses relate to emulating architectural performance monitoring in a binary translation system. In one embodiment, a processor includes an architectural performance counter to maintain an architectural value associated with instruction execution, a register to store the architectural value of the architectural performance counter, binary translation logic to embed an architectural value from the architectural performance counter into a stream of translated instructions having a transactional code region and to store the architectural value into the register, and an execution unit to execute the transactional code region of the stream of translated instructions. The binary translation logic is configured to add the architectural value from the register to the architectural performance counter upon completion of the transactional code region of the stream of translated instructions.
