Control flow protection based on phantom addressing

Abstract

Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, media, circuits, and other implementations, including a method that includes generating for a code block of a process executing on a controller-based device one or more code block copies defined in a virtual address space of the controller-based device, with the code block of the process being stored in a particular segment of a physical address space of the controller-based device, and with the code block configured to separately map to each of the one or more of the code block copies in the virtual address space. The method further includes processing at least a portion of one of the one or more code block copies defined in the virtual address space when the corresponding code block of the process is to be processed.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
