摘要： Provided are a method, system and program for effecting a processor operating mode change to execute device code. A processor receives a call while the processor is operating in a first mode, wherein the call is made to effect execution of device code to control a device. The processor determines whether the call is intended to change a processor operating mode from the first mode to a second mode. The state of the processor is selectively changed to a second mode in which the processor executes second mode instructions loaded in a protected section of memory inaccessible to an operating system in response to determining that the call is intended to change the processor operating mode. The second mode instructions execute the device code to control the device.

摘要： A method and apparatus to execute a pre-boot application within an emulated pre-boot environment to test functionality of the pre-boot application. The emulated pre-boot environment is executed within a user mode of an operating system (“OS”) during an OS runtime of the processing system. The pre-boot application interacts with a hardware device of the processing system via a kernel proxy agent. The kernel proxy agent executes in a kernel mode of the OS.

摘要： In one embodiment a method includes accessing a hardware specific module with a request to perform an unmodified I/O (input/output) operation. The method also includes the hardware specific module accessing a processor specific module with a modified request to perform the I/O operation, the modified request suitable for use with a specific hardware component. The method further includes the processor specific module performing the modified I/O operation with the specific hardware component. The method may further include breaking operations into sub-operations that accomplish part of the operation, and use of transactions that may require multiple operations. Apparatus are also disclosed for implementing the method.

摘要： When transitioning from sleep mode to active mode, a processing system loads first stage resume content and second stage resume content into a volatile memory of the processing system. The first stage resume content may contain contextual data for a first program that was in use before the processing system transitioned to sleep mode. The second stage resume content may contain contextual data for another program that was in use before the processing system transitioned to sleep mode. The processing system may provide a user interface for the first program before all of the second stage resume content has been loaded into the volatile memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： Methods, systems and computer program products are disclosed for enhanced system boot processing that is faster to launch an operating system, as certain devices such as user input hardware devices may not be initialized unless it is determined that a user-interruption to the boot process is likely. That is, although an interface for the devices is exposed, no initialization occurs unless a call to the interface occurs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： During a process of transitioning a processing system from sleep mode to active mode, system firmware of the processing system may automatically determine whether an initialization task has been assigned to a component other than system firmware, based on data obtained from a resume descriptor stored in nonvolatile storage of the processing system. The system firmware may skip the initialization task if the initialization task has been assigned to a component other than the system firmware. For example, in one embodiment, the system firmware may determine whether the resume descriptor identifies one or more memory ranges. If so, the system firmware may forego initialization of at least one memory range identified in the resume descriptor when initializing a random access memory (RAM) of the processing system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要翻译：在将处理系统从睡眠模式转换到活动模式的过程中，处理系统的系统固件可以基于从存储在非易失性存储器中的恢复描述符获得的数据自动地确定初始化任务是否已被分配给系统固件以外的组件存储处理系统。如果将初始化任务分配给系统固件以外的组件，系统固件可能会跳过初始化任务。例如，在一个实施例中，系统固件可以确定恢复描述符是否识别一个或多个存储器范围。如果是这样，当初始化处理系统的随机存取存储器（RAM）时，系统固件可以放弃在恢复描述符中标识的至少一个存储器范围的初始化。描述和要求保护其他实施例。

摘要： An alternative boot methodology that begins with legacy-free firmware allows the peaceful coexistence of legacy-free and legacy option ROMs in a system. Legacy-free firmware provides a legacy-free boot path from system power up to operating system loading. This legacy-free boot path is independent of any legacy firmware. A legacy-free boot manager boots from an ordered list of OS loaders. If a legacy boot option is available, legacy-free drivers that have already been loaded may be stopped, and a legacy boot using legacy firmware may be initiated, without having to reboot the system.
摘要翻译：从无遗留固件开始的替代启动方法允许系统中无遗留和遗留选项ROM的和平共存。无遗留固件提供从系统电源到操作系统加载的无遗留的引导路径。这种无遗留的启动路径与任何传统固件无关。无遗漏的引导管理器从有序的OS加载器列表引导。如果遗留启动选项可用，则可能会停止已加载的无遗留驱动程序，并且可能会启动使用旧版固件的旧式引导，而无需重新启动系统。

摘要： An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to process an input/output (I/O) transaction. An emulated device driver in a guest partition interacts with a virtual machine (VM) manager in processing an input/output (I/O) transaction on behalf of an application via an operating system (OS). The I/O transaction is between the application and a device. A device emulator in a service partition communicatively coupled to the emulated device driver interacts with the VM manager in processing the I/O transaction on behalf of a device specific driver via the OS. The device specific driver interfaces to the device.
