Abstract
A processor includes support for executing binary-translated code including code modifications. The processor includes a processor core that includes a cache to store translation indicators from a physical map, each translation indicator to indicate whether a corresponding memory location includes translated code to be protected. The processor core also includes logic to execute a translated instruction. The translated instruction is translated from an instruction stored in a memory location. The processor core further includes logic to set a translation indicator in the cache corresponding to the memory location to indicate that it includes translated code to be protected. The processor core also includes logic to request senior store buffer drains of other processor cores of the processor based upon the execution of the translated instruction.
