\item[0.5] The version released as technical report MSR-TR-2023-6: \emph{CHERIoT: Rethinking security for low-cost embedded systems}, February 2023\footnote{\url{https://aka.ms/cheriot-tech-report}}. | ||
\item[0.6] The current, under-development version of the ISA. The following changes have been made since the previous released version: | ||
\begin{description} | ||
\item[\ghissue{20}, \ghpr{26}] Capability stores now clear the tag of the stored value instead of raising an exception in case of a store-local violation | ||
(i.e. an attempt to store a non-global capability via a capability without the store-local permission). | ||
Tag clearing is preferable for software because it removes the possibility of a trap when copying untrusted inputs. | ||
It is also likely easier to implement hardware. | ||
The CHERI exception cause code that was previously used for this (0x16) is now reserved. | ||
