I suspect we need an SRB that is non-authorized and can never get into an
authorized state. I hate giving auditors information with which they can abuse
us but this probably needs to be discussed. By making zIIP so cheap, IBM and

I could almost wish that Mr. Perryman's conjectures were correct.
They would greatly widen the market for strong assembly-language

that would be good for the platform.

SRB mode is only needed if you use IBM's supplied API to zIIP. WLM is the
part of z/os that schedules the TCB/SRB to the a proccessor and there is a
know-how to do this, and indead requires deep knowledge of mvs interfaces
and assembler coding.
THe SRBs scheduled on the zIIP (using IBM's supplied
Do vendor's have access to the WLM implementation that allows TCB's to run on a
zIIP? Since JAVA was implemented starting with z/OS 1.11, I suspect they may
use SRB's otherwise they could have easily retrofitted it to earlier versions.
As for the risk, an SRB can use cross memory facilities.
I will not comment on Mr. Perryman's suspicions, which are not arguments.
I will limit myself to noting that 1) an SRB cannot attach a subtask
and 2) a [different] SRB that it scheduled into another address space

Peter Relson's point is the important one here.

No one was asking for details on how to attach a task but since Mr. Gilmore
requires a full explanation, the SRB schedules an IRB that does the attach. My
point was that you can do anything with an SRB. Some of the hacks on Windows

I agree that the pool of talent is being diminished by deaths, low
recruitment because of poor perceived economic prospects, out
migration for the same reason, and---among the young---a perception
that the excitement is elsewhere.
This issue is, however, separable from that of competence to work
I think Itschak is saying that SRB's can't do I/O, therefore they can't write
files to embed a virus or read confidential data. I think he's under the
impression that SRB's can't get access to everything they desire.
