Protection of a kernel from a sniff and code reuse attack. A kernel mode page table in initialized in a kernel. The kernel page entries in the kernel mode page table are set from s-pages to u-pages. Supervisor mode access prevention is enabled in the u-pages. Code contained in the kernel page entries in the u-pages is executed, the kernel page entries in the u-pages are capable of execution but are not capable of being accessed and read directly.

Protection of kernel from code reuse attacks

Techniques for virtual machines include receiving virtual machine (VM) requests, and finding one or more VM requests of the VM requests that optimize available resources of a candidate host machine while seeking to minimize differences between the one or more VM requests and the candidate host machine. The one or more VM requests are allocated to the candidate host machine.

Determining the position of a pop-up on a touch screen. Locations of user interactions on a touch screen are determined. Times are also determined for each of the user interactions. A hot spot on the touch screen is defined on the touch screen based on a number of user interactions occurring in proximity of one another during a particular period of time. In one or more embodiments, the particular time period corresponds with a most recent period of time. At least a portion of a pop-up is then displayed within the hot spot on the touch screen for user interaction.

Pop-up adjustment for mobile devices

A method, computer system, and a computer program product for storage management for deployment of a virtual machine is provided. The present invention may include receiving a request to deploy a virtual machine based on a master VM image. The present invention may also include determining a free disk space for the virtual machine. The present invention may then include determining a disk storage space storing the master VM image. The present invention may further include mapping the disk storage space and the free disk space into a single virtual storage. The present invention may include designating the single virtual storage to be a virtual storage of the virtual machine.
