Q186.
Normally user programs are prevented from handling I/O directly by I/O instructions in them. For CPUs having explicit I/O instructions, such I/O protection is ensured by having the I/O instructions privileged. In a CPU with memory mapped I/O, there is no explicit I/O instruction. Which one of the following is true for a CPU with memory mapped I/O?

a.

I/O protection is ensured by operating system routines.

b.

I/O protection is ensured by a hardware trap.

c.

I/O protection is ensured during system configuration.

d.

I/O protection is not possible.

Discuss
Answer: (a). I/O protection is ensured by operating system routines.
