Using Memory Protection Data - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240232438 titled 'Using Memory Protection Data
The present disclosure discusses techniques and apparatuses for utilizing memory protection data within a computing device. These techniques involve allocating memory regions for storing application data and protection data, as well as creating a bitmap with bit values corresponding to memory blocks within the allocated regions. The bit values indicate whether application data and/or protection data are present in a memory block. This enables efficient use of memory protection, such as encryption and error correction code (ECC) usage, while allowing for discontiguous memory allocations without significant operating system modifications.

Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure describes techniques and apparatuses that are directed to using memory protection data within a computing device. techniques include allocating regions of a memory for storing application data and protection data. techniques also include creating a bitmap having bit values corresponding to memory blocks within the allocated regions. the one or more bit values can be indicative of whether application data and/or protection data are present in a memory block. the techniques and apparatuses can enable memory protection, such as memory security (e.g., encryption) and memory safety (e.g., error correction code (ecc) usage), to be efficiently used while permitting discontiguous memory allocations and without substantial operating system modification.
