The linear address space as a concept is unsafe at any speed, and it badly needs mandatory CHERI seat belts. But even better would be to get rid of linear address spaces entirely and go back to the future, as successfully implemented in the Rational R1000 computer 30-plus years ago.


Your thoughts on this article? I was under the impression that a lot of the 80s attempts at capability machines (or really, anything that wasn't trying to be a glorified PDP-11) floundered because of performance and cost issues (i.e. the Intel i432).
