I am trying to understand what is the purpose of the CPU protection rings (specifically user mode and kernel mode).
I don’t think that the CPU protection rings are meant to protect against malicious programs, because a malic… Continue reading Are the CPU protection rings meant to protect against malicious programs or against unintentional programming mistakes?
