发明名称 Maintaining processor resources during architectural evens
摘要 In one embodiment of the present invention, a method includes switching between a first address space and a second address space, determining if the second address space exists in a list of address spaces; and maintaining entries of the first address space in a translation buffer after the switching. In such manner, overhead associated with such a context switch may be reduced.

主权项 1. A method comprising: switching between a first address space and a second address space; determining, in response to the switching, if the second address space exists in a list of address spaces maintained by a processor to identify at least different active address spaces and locations in linear address spaces corresponding thereto; and maintaining entries of the first address space in a translation buffer after the switching.
