+# Thesis notes
+## TU Graz Paper
+- Enable strict memory permissions or virtualize kernel heap or kernel stack
+- kernel allocator massaging (?)
+- These defenses change mapping to fine-grained 4kB instead of 2MB
+- 4kB TLB entries result in contention patterns observable via side channels
+- leak page aligned object locations
+- deduce sup-page granular objects (how?)
+- intel CPU needed (8th-14th gen) (?)
