摘要： A system and method for mitigating memory errors in a computer system. Faulty memory is identified and tested by a memory manager of an operating system. The memory manager may perform diagnostic tests while the operating system is executing on the computer system. Regions of memory that are being used by software components of the computer system may also be tested. The memory manager maintains a stored information about faulty memory regions. Regions are added to the stored information when they are determined to be faulty by a diagnostic test tool. Memory regions are allocated to software components by the memory manager after checking the stored information about faulty memory regions. This ensures a faulty memory region is never allocated to a software component of the computer system.

摘要： Various operations are disclosed for improving the operational efficiency of a virtual translation look-aside buffer (TLB) in a virtual machine environment. For example, operations are disclosed that allow for determination of whether present entries in shadow page tables (SPTs) are stale by comparing shadowed guest page table (GPT) entries against snapshots taken when the entries were cached. Other operations are disclosed that allow a virtual machine monitor (VMM) to access shadow page table trees (SPTTs) by walking trees in software or in hardware. Still other operations are disclosed allowing the VMM to use a hash table to relate GVA ranges to SPTs that map them, thus significantly reducing the cost of having to walk each SPTT in order to invalidate desired GVA(s). And, finally, operations are disclosed allowing the VMM to determine global GVA ranges by checking a bitmap, when invalidating global GVAs.
摘要翻译：公开了用于提高虚拟机环境中的虚拟翻译后备缓冲器（TLB）的操作效率的各种操作。例如，披露了允许通过比较阴影的访客页表（GPT）条目与条目被缓存时拍摄的快照来确定影子页表（SPT）中的现有条目是否过时的操作。公开了允许虚拟机监视器（VMM）通过软件或硬件中的步行树来访问影子页表树（SPTT）的其他操作。还公开了其他操作，允许VMM使用散列表将GVA范围与映射它们的SPT相关联，从而显着降低了必须走每个SPTT以使所需GVA无效的成本。最后，公开了操作，允许VMM通过在使全局GVAs无效时检查位图来确定全局GVA范围。

摘要： In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving control in a kernel mode via a ring transition from a user thread during execution of an unbounded transactional memory (UTM) transaction, updating a state of a transaction status register (TSR) associated with the user thread and storing the TSR with a context of the user thread, and later restoring the context during a transition from the kernel mode to the user thread. In this way, the UTM transaction may continue on resumption of the user thread. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： Various operations are provided that improve the scalability of virtual TLBs in multi-processor virtual machines, and they include: implicitly locking SPTs using per-processor generation counters; waiting for pending fills on other virtual processors to complete before servicing a GVA invalidation using the counters; write-protecting or unmaping guest pages in a deferred two-stage process or reclaiming SPTs in a deferred two-stage process; periodically coalescing two SPTs that shadow the same GPT with the same attributes; sharing SPTs between two SASes only at a specified level in a SPTT; flushing the entire virtual TLB using a generation counter; allocating a SPT to GPT from a NUMA node on which the GPT resides; having an instance for each NUMA node on which a virtual machine runs; and, correctly handling the serializing instructions executed by a guest in a virtual machine with more than one virtual processor sharing the virtual TLB.

摘要： An efficient write-watch mechanism and process. A bitmap is associated with the virtual address descriptor (VAD) for a process, one bit for each virtual page address allocated to a process having write-watch enabled. As part of the write-watch mechanism, if a virtual address is trimmed to disk and that virtual address page is marked as modified, then the corresponding bit in the VAD is set for that virtual address page. In response to an API call (e.g., from a garbage collection mechanism) seeking to know which virtual addresses in a process have been modified since last checked, the memory manager walks the bitmap in the relevant VAD for the specified virtual address range for the requested process. If a bit is set, then the page corresponding to that bit is known to have been modified since last asked. If specified by the API, the bit is cleared in the VAD bitmap so that it will reflect the state since this time of asking. If the bit is not set, to determine if the page was modified, the page table entry (PTE) is checked for that page, and if the PTE indicates the page was modified, the page is known to be modified, otherwise that page is known to be unmodified since the last call. One enhancement uses page directory tables to locate a series of trimmed pages, sometimes avoiding the need to access the PTE.
摘要翻译：一个高效的写表机制和过程。位图与进程的虚拟地址描述符（VAD）相关联，每个虚拟页面地址分配给具有启用写入监视的进程的一个位。作为写表机制的一部分，如果虚拟地址被修剪到磁盘，并且虚拟地址页面被标记为已修改，则为该虚拟地址页面设置VAD中的对应位。响应于API调用（例如，从垃圾回收机制），寻求知道自上次检查以来哪个虚拟地址已被修改，内存管理器将针对所请求的指定虚拟地址范围的相关VAD中的位图进行移动处理。如果设置了一个位，那么与该位相对应的页面已知最近被修改了。如果由API指定，该位在VAD位图中被清除，以便它将反映自此询问之后的状态。如果该位未设置，为了确定页面是否被修改，页面表项（PTE）被检查该页面，并且如果PTE指示页面被修改，则该页面已知被修改，否则该页面是自从上次电话以来，已经被修改了。一个增强功能使用页面目录表来定位一系列修剪页面，有时避免访问PTE。

摘要： A system and method for providing applications with the ability to access an increased amount of memory. An application maps a specified address range in its (small) virtual memory space to a corresponding number of pages allocated thereto in (relatively large) physical memory. When the application accesses an address in that range in virtual memory, e.g., via a thirty-two-bit address, the mapping information is used to access the corresponding page currently pointed to in the physical memory, allowing access to significantly greater amounts of memory. Fine granularity of access (e.g., one page) is provided, along with fast remapping, cross-process security and coherency across multiple processors in a multiprocessor system. To this end, a memory manager maintains information related to the mapping of virtual addresses to physical pages, in order to verify remap requests and invalidate existing mappings from a virtual address to a previously mapped physical page. For coherency in a multi-processor system, a list is maintained for invalidating existing mappings in the translation buffers of other processors in a consolidated operation, thereby requiring only a single interrupt of each processor to invalidate mappings.

摘要： A memory manager in a computer system that ages memory for high performance. The efficiency of operation of the computer system can be improved by dynamically setting an aging schedule based on a predicted time for trimming pages from a working set. An aging schedule that generates aging information that better discriminates among pages in a working set based on activity level enables selection of pages to trim that are less likely to be accessed following trimming. As a result of being able to identify and trim less active pages, inefficiencies arising from restoring trimmed pages to the working set are avoided.

摘要： In a device having a memory accessed as multiple pages, two or more pages of the multiple pages having identical content are identified. While the two or more pages are being identified, other processes running in the device are allowed to use the two or more pages, including being allowed to change cache attributes of each of the two or more pages. The two or more pages are combined into a single combined page (e.g., a newly allocated page of the multiple pages), and a process page record having multiple entries pointing to the multiple pages is updated so that entries that previously pointed to one of the two or more pages instead point to the single page.

摘要： A system and method for maintaining a pagefile of a computer system using a technique of reserving portions of the pagefile for related memory pages. Pages near one another in a virtual memory space often store related information and it is therefore beneficial to ensure that they are stored near each other in the pagefile. This increases the speed of reading data out of the pagefile because total seek time of a disk drive that stores the pagefile may decrease when adjacent pages in a virtual memory address space are read back from the disk drive. By implementing a reservation system that allows related pages to be stored adjacent to one another, the efficiency of memory management of the computer system is increased.
