Abstract

Memory access circuitry enforces ownership rights for memory regions. A given memory region is associated with an owner realm specified from multiple realms, each realm corresponding to a portion of at least one software process executed by processing circuitry. A realm management unit (RMU) is provided to perform realm management operations for managing the realms. The memory access circuitry controls access to a given memory region in dependence on at least one status attribute specifying whether the given memory region is an RMU-private memory region reserved for exclusive access by the RMU.
