....with respect to security: a mechanism is only included in L4 if placing it in user space would compromise security. Implementations of L4 exist, or are currently under development, for the following architectures: x86[Lie96] MIPS [EHL97] Alpha[Pot99, Sch96] PowerPC, and StrongARM [Wig99] L4 provides the following abstractions: Address spaces An address space is a set of mappings from Virtual Memory to physical memory. L4 exports the entire physical address space to user level, including device memory. Initially, all physical memory is owned by 0 , the initial address ....
