Abstract: Protection of a kernel from a sniff and code reuse attack. A kernel mode page table in initialized in a kernel. The kernel page entries in the kernel mode page table are set from s-pages to u-pages. Supervisor mode access prevention is enabled in the u-pages. Code contained in the kernel page entries in the u-pages is executed, the kernel page entries in the u-pages are capable of execution but are not capable of being accessed and read directly.

Abstract: Techniques for virtual machines include receiving virtual machine (VM) requests, and finding one or more VM requests of the VM requests that optimize available resources of a candidate host machine while seeking to minimize differences between the one or more VM requests and the candidate host machine. The one or more VM requests are allocated to the candidate host machine.

Abstract: Examples of techniques for cache line cleanup for prevention of side channel attack are described herein. An aspect includes determining, by a rollback control unit, a start of a speculative execution in a computer processor. Another aspect includes setting a field in a speculative buffer of the computer processor based on a load or a store to a cache line of a cache being performed by the speculative execution. Another aspect includes determining a failure of the speculative execution. Another aspect includes, based on the failure of the speculative execution, traversing the speculative buffer to determine the set field and performing a cleanup of the cache line based on the set field in the speculative buffer.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a network element of the wireless communication system receives a request from a scheduling party. The request is for scheduling message delivery to a destination party. Message delivery parameters are obtained in response to the request. The message delivery parameters may include a date of delivery and contact information for the destination party. The message to be delivered is also obtained. The obtained message is then sent to the destination party as set forth by the obtained message delivery parameters.
