Hi Greg,
In our world we don’t have MMU, just PMP. The inability to supply separate permissions to S and U limits the usefulness of PMP in our environment.
I subscribed to SPMP now. I’ll send my question to that email list as well.
Thanks,
Jeff

Caution: EXT Email PMP was architected to be a mechanism to protect M-mode software and resources from non-M-mode software and devices. This complements the MMU which serves to protect and isolate between S-mode and U-mode (and between U-mode processes). They are intended to be orthogonal and composable architectural components.
If you are looking for something that combines those two functions into one mechanism, then take a look at the new SPMP TG that is in the process of being formed as we speak. I'm not certain, but I think that might be what you are looking for. (Start of group meetings, etc. will be announced on relevant RVI email lists - including the Security HC's list since I believe this TG is being sponsored by that HC.)
Greg
