Abstract: An apparatus has memory management circuitry to control access to a memory system based on access control information defined in table entries of a table structure comprising at least two levels of access control table. Table accessing circuitry accesses the table structure to obtain the access control information corresponding to a target address. For a given access control table at a given level of the table structure other than a starting level, the table accessing circuitry selects a selected table entry of the given access control table corresponding to the target address, based on an offset portion of the target address. A size of the offset portion is selected based on a variable nesting control parameter specified in a table entry of a higher-level access control table at a higher level of the table structure than the given access control table.

Abstract: An apparatus has address translation circuitry to translate a target virtual address (VA) specified by a memory access request into a target physical address, first/second translation table address storage circuitry to store first/second translation table addresses; and protected region defining data storage circuitry to store region defining data specifying at least one protected region of virtual address space. In response to the memory access request: when the target VA is in the protected region(s), the address translation circuitry translates the target VA based on address translation data from a first translation table structure identified by the first translation table address. When the target VA is outside the protected region(s), the target VA is translated based on address translation data from a second translation table structure identified by the second translation table address.

Abstract: Address translation circuitry (16) translates a virtual address specified by a memory access request issued by requester circuitry into a target physical address (PA). Requester-side filtering circuitry (20) performs a granule protection lookup based on the target PA and a selected physical address space (PAS) associated with the memory access request, to determine whether to allow the memory access request to be passed to a cache or interconnect. In the granule protection lookup, the requester-side filtering circuitry obtains granule protection information corresponding to a target granule of physical addresses including the target PA, which indicates at least one allowed PAS associated with the target granule, and blocks the memory access request when the granule protection information indicates that the selected PAS is not an allowed PAS.

Abstract: There is provided a data processing apparatus, which is suitable for verifying memory systems. Processing circuitry issues a plurality of memory access requests to a plurality of addresses in a memory. Point-of-trust circuitry receives the memory access requests from the processing circuitry via a first set of intermediate circuits. Secure channel circuitry enables secure communication of a correspondence between the plurality of addresses from the processing circuitry to the point-of-trust circuitry. The point-of-trust circuitry determines whether the addresses in the memory of the memory access requests received via the first set of intermediate circuits have a predetermined relationship based on the correspondence.
