Mitigates undetectable bleeding/contamination of information between parallel processes, cores, and or rowhammer etc.
Thus, writing a robust and secure OS may actually be possible by competent programmers in most compiled languages. Best of luck =3
But how does it accomplish that? And how can you guarantee it would solve those hardware issues?
The memory areas would appear as ciphertext to other processes/unprivileged-cores in most cases even when hardware has glitched up. If you are asking how they specifically implemented the mmu <-> unreachable key handling outside the OS, that information was never public if I recall.
I've often pondered how it was really implemented too. Best of luck. =3
