Abstract
The present disclosure describes a micro-enclave (μenclave) framework including μenclave operations, which are library functions that split off from normal code execution. The μenclaves contain a mix of stateful and stateless operations, including such steps as reading or writing various hardware registers or resource counters in operating system, timer setup, deferring preemption events by a small value within a threshold set by the operating system, and the like. The operations in a μenclave, even though performed at a user level privilege, are compiled by a separate compilation sequence and installed unforgeably as static and unforgeable procedure collections that do not yield control to an operating system scheduler.
