摘要： Mechanisms for executing a transaction in the data processing system are provided. A transaction checkpoint data structure is generated in internal registers of a processor. The transaction checkpoint data structure stores transaction checkpoint data representing a state of program registers at a time prior to execution of a corresponding transaction. The transaction, which comprises a first portion of code that is to be executed by the processor, is executed. An interrupt of the transaction is received while executing the transaction and, as a result, the transaction checkpoint data is stored to a data structure in a memory of the data processing system. A second portion of code is then executed. A state of the program registers is restored using the data structure in the memory of the data processing system in response to an event occurring causing a switch of execution of the processor back to execution of the transaction.

摘要： A system and method for providing a mediated external exception extension for a microprocessor are provided. With the system and method, in response to an external exception, a hypervisor determines if the associated external interrupt is directed to a logical partition (LPAR) that has external interrupt handling enabled. If so, the hypervisor sets appropriate state restore registers (SRRs) and passes control to an external interrupt handler of the LPAR. If external interrupt handling is not currently enabled by the LPAR, the hypervisor sets a mediated exception request and returns control to the LPAR. Once the operating system of the logical partition re-enables external interrupt handling, a mediated external interrupt occurs, state information for the LPAR is set in the SRRs, and the external interrupt handler of the LPAR is invoked. In this way, external interrupts may be received by the hypervisor even when external interrupt handling is disabled.
摘要翻译：提供了一种用于为微处理器提供介导的外部异常扩展的系统和方法。利用系统和方法，响应于外部异常，管理程序确定相关联的外部中断是否被引导到启用了外部中断处理的逻辑分区（LPAR）。如果是这样，管理程序设置适当的状态恢复寄存器（SRR），并将控制权传递给LPAR的外部中断处理程序。如果LPAR当前未启用外部中断处理，管理程序将设置介入的异常请求并将控制权返回给LPAR。一旦逻辑分区的操作系统重新启用外部中断处理，就会发生中介的外部中断，LPAR的状态信息设置在SRR中，并且调用LPAR的外部中断处理程序。以这种方式，即使禁用外部中断处理，管理程序也可以接收外部中断。

摘要： A technique for indicating a safe shared resource condition with respect to a disabled thread provides a mechanism for providing a fast indication to other hardware threads that a temporarily disabled thread can no longer impact shared resources, such as shared special-purpose registers and translation look-aside buffers within the processor core. Signals from pipelines within the core indicates whether any of the instructions pending in the pipeline impact the shared resources and if not, then the thread disable status is presented to the other threads via a state change in a thread status register. Upon receiving an indication that a particular hardware thread is to be disabled, control logic halts the dispatch of instructions for the particular hardware thread, and then waits until any indication that a shared resource is impacted by an instruction has cleared. Then the control logic updates the thread status to indicate the thread is disabled.

摘要： A processor core includes a transactional memory, a transaction failure instruction address register (TFIAR), and a transaction failure data address register (TFDAR). The transactional memory stores information of a plurality of transactions executed by the processor core. The processor core retrieves instruction and data address associated with the aborted transaction from TFIAR and TFDAR respectively and stores them into a profiling table. The processor core then generates profiling information based on instruction and data addresses associated with the aborted transaction.

摘要： Access control to shared virtual address space within a single logical partition is provided. The access control includes: associating, by a hypervisor of the data processing system, a memory protection key with a portion of a single logical partition's virtual address space being shared by multiple entities, the key preventing access by one of the multiple entities to that portion of the virtual address space, and allowing access by another of the entities to that portion of the virtual address space; and locking by the hypervisor the memory protection key from modification by the one entity, wherein the locking prevents the one entity from modifying the key and thereby gaining access to the portion of the single logical partition's virtual address space with the associated memory protection key. In one embodiment, the one entity is the single logical partition itself, and the another entity is a partition adjunct.
