Why would these be less sensitive? But I see a big difference between my initial implementation and this one. In my case, by using a shared mapping, visible to all cores, freezing the core that is performing the write would have exposed the writable mapping to a potential attack run from another core. If the mapping is private to the core performing the write, even if it is frozen, it's much harder to figure out what it had mapped and where, from another core. To access that mapping, the attack should be performed from the ISR, I think. -- igor
