摘要： An object-oriented computer architecture in which access descriptors include an object index for selecting an object in the address space, and a rights field specifying the permissible operations on a bi-paged object selected by the access descriptor. A local object lifetime bit is provided in the encoded fields portion of access descriptors, object descriptors, and page table entries to determine the lifetime of an object. The AD lifetime bit in the encoded fields of AD is compared in OTE Lifetime Check Logic with the destination object lifetime, the OTE local bit in the encoded fields of the OTE access descriptor. The OTE local bit in the encoded fields of the OTE is compared in PDTE Lifetime Check Logic with the destination object lifetime, the PDTE local bit in the encoded fields of the PDTE access descriptor. The PDTE local bit in the encoded fields of the PDTE is compared in PTE Lifetime Check Logic with the destination object lifetime, the PTE local bit in the encoded fields of the PTE access descriptor. If any of these checks fails, a protection lifetime fault is asserted.

摘要： A subsystem call mechanism for communicating between a first execution environment associated with a first domain object, and a second execution environment associated with a second domain object. An environment table object is associated with a process object. The environment table object includes a control stack which is an array of control stack entries which entries save the state of the first calling execution environment to be restored on a return from the second execution environment. A subsystem entry in the subsystem table specifies the object that defines region 2 of the target execution environment and the frame pointer of the topmost stack frame in the target environment, a supervisor Stack Pointer that is a linear address for the supervisor stack used when involving a supervisor call in the user mode (instead of the stack pointer in the current frame) to locate the new frame. The first domain object further includes Procedure Entries that specify the type and address of the target procedure. Each of the procedure entries includes a Procedure Entry Type field that indicates the type of procedure to be invoked, either a supervisor procedure or a subsystem procedure, and an offset into the target execution environment. The offset specifies the first instruction of the target procedure.

摘要： Access descriptors (24) include an object index (34) for selecting an object in the address space, and a rights field (35) specifying the permissible operations on a bi-paged object (38) selected by the access descriptor. An object table (42) has stored therein object descriptors for use in forming physical addresses to the page table directory object (60) which has page table descriptors stored therein for accessing page tables. A page table (44) has stored therein page table entries for use in forming physical addresses to the paged object (38). Logic compares the page rights field (81) of the page table entry with the rights field (62) of the page table descriptor in the page table directory entry and asserts a fault if the access permitted by the page rights field (50) is inconsistent with the rights field of the access descriptor in the page table directory entry. A mechanism provides for the implicit deallocation of certain objects and to prevent dangling references if access descriptors which point to objects with shorter lifetimes are stored in objects with longer lifetimes. Special Instructions provide a mechanism for the amplification or restriction of the rights of access descriptors.

摘要： An apparatus and method is described herein for providing robust speculative code section abort control mechanisms. Hardware is able to track speculative code region abort events, conditions, and/or scenarios, such as an explicit abort instruction, a data conflict, a speculative timer expiration, a disallowed instruction attribute or type, etc. And hardware, firmware, software, or a combination thereof makes an abort determination based on the tracked abort events. As an example, hardware may make an initial abort determination based on one or more predefined events or choose to pass the event information up to a firmware or software handler to make such an abort determination. Upon determining an abort of a speculative code region is to be performed, hardware, firmware, software, or a combination thereof performs the abort, which may include following a fallback path specified by hardware or software. And to enable testing of such a fallback path, in one implementation, hardware provides software a mechanism to always abort speculative code regions.

摘要： An apparatus and method is described herein for providing speculation control instructions. An xAcquire and xRelease instruction are provided to define a critical section. In one embodiment, the xAcquire instruction includes a lock instruction with an elision prefix and the xRelease instruction includes a lock release instruction with an elision prefix. As a result, a processor is able to elide locks and transactionally execute a critical section defined in software by xAcquire and xRelease. But by adding only prefix hints, legacy processor are able to execute the same code by just ignoring the hints and executing the critical section traditionally with locks to guarantee mutual exclusion. Moreover, xBegin and xEnd are similarly provided for in an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) to define a transactional code region. In addition, other control speculation instructions, such as xAbort to enable explicit abort of a critical or transactional code section and xTest to test a state of speculative execution is also provided in the ISA.
摘要翻译：这里描述了一种用于提供猜测控制指令的装置和方法。提供xAcquire和xRelease指令来定义关键部分。在一个实施例中，xAcquire指令包括具有检验前缀的锁定指令，并且xRelease指令包括具有检验前缀的锁定释放指令。因此，处理器能够通过xAcquire和xRelease来删除锁定和事务性地执行在软件中定义的关键部分。但是通过仅添加前缀提示，传统处理器能够通过忽略提示并执行传统的锁定关键部分来保证互斥，从而执行相同的代码。此外，xBegin和xEnd在指令集架构（ISA）中类似地提供以定义事务代码区域。此外，还在ISA中提供了其他控制推测指令，例如xAbort，以实现关键或事务代码段的显示中止，以及xTest测试推测执行状态。

摘要： An address translator and a method for translating a linear address into a physical address for memory management in a computer is described herein. Different memory sizes, and different page sizes can be selected. The address translator can translate from a standard 32-bit linear address for compatibility with previous 32-bit architectures, and can also translate to a physical memory size with a larger physical address than linear address; i.e., greater than 32 bits (e.g. 36 bits and up), with no increase in access time. The address translator translates a linear address that includes an offset and a plurality of fields used to select entries in a plurality of tables. The format of the linear address into fields is dependent upon the selected memory size and the selected page size. For a large memory size, the tables include a directory pointer table that includes a group of directory pointers, a plurality of page table directories each of which includes a group of page directory entries, and a plurality of page tables each of which includes a group of page table entries. The size of the entries in the tables is dependent upon the selected memory size. The contents of the tables are stored in memory, and furthermore the pointer table is stored in both main memory and in dedicated pointer table registers.

摘要： In a multi-processor system having a first processor, a second processor, and a bus coupling the first processor to the second processor, a method for correcting an erroneous signal corresponding to the first processor while maintaining lock atomicity. When an erroneous transaction is detected, the first processor aborts that transaction and performs a retry. On the retry, an arbitration process arbitrates between the first processor and the second processor to determine which processor is granted access to the bus. If an error is detected during the arbitration process, an arbitration re-synchronization process is initiated. In the arbitration re-synchronization process, bus requests are de-asserted and then re-arbitrated. In the re-arbitration process, the first processor initiates its request ahead of the other processor in order to maintain lock atomicity.

摘要： Example methods and apparatus to manage object locks are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes receiving an object lock request from a processor, the lock request associated with object lock code to lock an object, and generating object lock-bypass code based on a type of the processor, the object lock-bypass code to execute in a managed runtime in response to receiving the object lock request. The example method also includes identifying a type of instruction set architecture (ISA) associated with the processor, invoking a checkpoint instruction for the processor based on the identified ISA, suspending the object lock code from executing and executing target code when the object is uncontended, and allowing the object lock code to execute when the object is contended.
