Abstract

DATA PROCESSOR HAVING MODULE ACCESS CONTROL

Abstract of the Disclosure A data processor (12) cooperates with an access controller (14) to control access to a module stored in a storage device (20). In response to receiving an instruction which requests access to the module and specifies an address within the storage device (20) containing an access request, the data processor (12) retrieves the access request and provides the access request to the access controller (14). The data processor (12) will then initiate the requested access.
However, the access will be faulted if the access controller (14) decides to deny the access request.

33- RPER load output of per into ar latch and onto bc bu~u There are two operation~ which use this ~unctiont MOVEM a~d BFFFO. MOVEM
require~ the ~east significant bit of the lower word (16-b~it~ only) that is a one to be encoded and latclhed into tne AR latch and onto tbe BC BUS ~inverted) ~o that it can be used to point at a register. If no bit~ are one then the end ~ignal ~hould be active whi(:h i~ routed to the branch pla.

Claims (8)

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:
1 A data processor adapted to cooperate with an access controller to control access by a first program module executing in the data processor to a second program module stored in a storage device, the data processor comprising:
first means for receiving an instruction of said first program module which requests access to said second program module, said instruction specifying an address within said storage device containing access request information which characterizes said requested access;
second means for retrieving said access request information from said storage device;
third means for providing said access request information to said access controller;
fourth means for receiving a decision from said access controller indicating whether said requested access by said first program module to said second program module is allowed or denied; and fifth means for allowing said first program module to access said second program module in response to said decision from said access controller indicating that said requested access is allowed, and denying said first program module access to said second program module in response to said decision from said access controller indicating that said requested access is denied.
2. The data processor of claim 1 further compris-ing:
sixth means for vectoring to an exception handler stored in said storage device if said access request is denied by said access controller.
3. The data processor of claim 2, wherein the second program module specified by said instruction is a code module, said instruction also specifying a selected number of arguments to be passed to said code module, and wherein said fifth means passes said arguments to said code module before allowing said requested access.
4. The data processor of claim 1, wherein the second program module specified by said instruction is a code module, said instruction also specifying a selected number of arguments to be passed to said code module, and wherein said fifth means passes said arguments to said code module before allowing said requested access.
5. In a data processor adapted to cooperate with an access controller to control access by a first program module executing in the data processor to a second program module stored in a storage device, a method compris-ing the steps of:
receiving an instruction of said first program module which requests access to said second program module, said instruction specifying an address within said storage device containing access request information which characterizes said requested access;
retrieving said access request information from said storage device;
providing said access request information to said access controller;
receiving a decision from said access controller indicating whether said requested access by said first program module to said second program module is allowed or denied; and allowing said first program module to access said second program module in response to said decision from said access controller indicating that said requested access is allowed, and denying said first program module access to said second program module in response to said decision from said access controller indicating that said requested access is denied.
6. In the data processor of claim 5, the method comprising the steps of:
vectoring to an exception handler stored in said storage device if said access request is denied by said access controller.
7. In the data processor of claim 6, wherein the second program module specified by said instruction is a code module, said instruction also specifying a selected number of arguments to be passed to said code module, the step of allowing said access further comprising passing said arguments to said code module before allowing said requested access.
8. In the data processor of claim 5, wherein the second program module specified by said instruction is a code module, said instruction also specifying a selected number of arguments to be passed to said code module, the step of allowing said access further comprising passing said arguments to said code module before allowing said requested access.
