Hello,
I've spend much time in reading documentation on L4-Hurd, i read some code ,
i also read some mails in the mailing list, and i have some questions to ask
(excuse my poor english :) ) :
1 - Trusted process ?
There's lots of things and thought about, but i don't really get the
thing.
On what is based the amount of trust provide to a process by a server ?
Why
it can't be enough to trust the owner (user) of a process ?
2 - SMP are'nt thinked ?
I don't find anything about SMP ans L4-Hurd. Altought the L4 pistachio
seems
to be designed in such a way. And , the heavily muti-threaded conception
of Hurd-L4 is directly interested in SMP. And more, the futur, by the
limit
on electronics size, is to the SMP. So ...
It seems that the design changes his way to a more centralized system ( with
cap server and notification server, perhaps there's the same ), but in SMP
architecture centralisation is a bad thing ( i think ), the things has to be
as much as possible local, so are the reason to change the way so
unbreakable ? ( and i don't speak about overhead costs ).
Thanks,
