Abstract
A memory permissions model for a processor that is based on the memory address accessed by an instruction as well as the program counter of the instruction. These permissions may be stored in permissions tables and indexed using the memory addresses of the instruction and the address of the memory locations that it accesses. Those indexes may be obtained from a page table in some cases. These memory permissions may be used in conjunction with other permissions, such as execute permissions and secondary execution privileges that are based on whether the instruction belongs to a particular instruction group.
