A system includes a memory device and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory device, the processing device to perform operations comprising: measuring one of a temperature voltage shift or a read bit error rate of fixed data stored in the memory device in response to detecting a power on of the memory device, the fixed data having been programmed in response to detecting a power loss; estimating an amount of time for which the memory device was powered off based on results of the measuring; and in response to the amount of time satisfying a threshold criterion, updating a value for a temporal voltage shift of a block family based on the amount of time.

A method includes saving a control state for a processor in response to commencing a transactional processing sequence, wherein saving the control state produces a saved control state. The method also includes permitting updates to the control state for the processor while executing the transactional processing sequence. Examples of updates to the control state include key mask changes, primary region table origin changes, primary segment table origin changes, CPU tracing mode changes, and interrupt mode changes. The method also includes restoring the control state for the processor to the saved control state in response to encountering a transactional error during the transactional processing sequence. In some embodiments, saving the control state comprises saving the current control state to memory corresponding to internal registers for an unused thread or another level of virtualization. A corresponding computer system and computer program product are also disclosed herein.
