Reference to non-existent LOAD_DATA permission #14

Open jrtc27 opened 3 years ago

In "Security analysis of CHERI ISA.pdf", section "Executable capability bounds" refers to LOAD_DATA and LOADCAP permissions. In ISAv7 we call them (Permit)Load and (Permit_)Load_Cap(ability), and Morello calls them Load and LoadCap. Calling it LOAD_DATA is confusing and might mislead readers into thinking it doesn't apply to capabilities. Please instead call it LOAD to reference the correct name of it.
