    This document contains questions about assigning interrupt priorities, performance overhead of interrupt servicing, circumstances for blocking and non-blocking I/O, access control matrices determining process domain switching privileges, and how systems with least privilege can still have protection failures. It asks the reader to discuss issues in assigning interrupt priorities, kinds of performance overhead from interrupts, when to use blocking and non-blocking I/O and why not just use non-blocking I/O, whether access control matrices are equivalent to including domain access privileges, and how systems with least privilege can still have protection failures leading to security violations.

    Assignment 8(will not be graded)


    13.8 When multiple interrupts from different devices appear at about the same time, a priority scheme
    could be used to determine the order in which the interrupts would be serviced. Discuss what issues need
    to be considered in assigning priorities to different interrupts.

    13.12 What are the various kinds of performance overhead associated with servicing an interrupt?

    13.13 Describe three circumstances under which blocking I/O should be used. Describe three
    circumstances under which non-blocking I/O should be used. Why not just implement non-blocking I/O
    and have processes busy-wait until their devices are ready?

    14.12 The access-control matrix can be used to determine whether a process can switch from, say, domain
    A to domain B and enjoy the access privileges of domain B. Is this approach equivalent to including the
    access privileges of domain B in those of domain A?

    14.24 How can systems that implement the principle of least privilege still have protection failures that
    lead to security violations?
