A processor including a virtualization system of the processor with a memory virtualization support system to map a reference to guest-physical memory made by guest software executable on a virtual machine which in turn is executable on a host machin…

BACKGROUND Many computer systems utilize virtualized memory for security, stability and/or other purposes. In various virtualized-memory systems, a virtual machine monitor ("VMM") may control direct use of memory and/or computer processors in a…

BACKGROUND Malicious code, known as malware, which includes viruses, worms, adware, etc., may attack core components of the operating system to compromise key applications, including critical applications that operate in the operating system kernel,…

The prioritization of large memory page mapping is a function of the access bits in the L1 page table. In a first phase of operation, the number of set access bits in each of the L1 page tables is counted periodically and a current count value is cal…

COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE DESIGNING FOR PERFORMANCE NINTH EDITION The basic mechanism for reading a word from memory involves the translation of a virtual, or logical, address, consisting of page number and offset, into a physical addres…

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Solid-state memory devices encompass rewritable non-volatile memory devices which may use electronic circuitry for storing data. Currently, solid-state memory devices start replacing conventional storage devices such as ha…

To translate a virtual address into a physical one, the CPU must take the contents of each level field, convert it into an offset into the physical page containing the Page Table and read the PFN of the next level of Page Table. This is repeated thre…

逻辑地址与物理地址的转化 页表是由页表项(PTE)组成的数组.512个PTE构成一个页表页(Page-table page). PTE中包含了物理页码(PPN physical page number)以及一些标志,来控制物理空间块的读写访问权限. 物理地址与虚拟地址的映射为三层树形结构,每一层存储下一层页表页的地址,最后一层存储物理地址的PTE. (个人理解:计算机中的物理地址被逻辑性理解成了页面+偏移量,其本质没发生变化,依旧是某一内存单元的编号) ​ 图 PTE的格式 代码解析 walk函…

COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE DESIGNING FOR PERFORMANCE NINTH EDITION To understand the structure of the linear address, you need to know that the Pentium II paging mechanism is actually a two-level table lookup operation. The first level is…
