In order to prevent low privilege procedure from interfering with high privilege procedure, a call gate data structure is used to protect system call. Only if call gate checkup passes, control could transfer from low privilege level to high privilege level. After analyzing definition and data structures of system calls, an algorithm is given to implement them. A basic test unit called cell is extracted from the algorithm, it produces Boolean test value to control branch of the microprogram for system call. Cells are enumerated and extracted from system call algorithm to form a kind of cell group to establish Privileged system Call test Unit (PCU). Cell group solves a difficult problem in protected test unit design in protected microprocessor, and it has been used in the design of aviation embedded 16 bit microprocessor NCS. VHDL description at RTL level for PCU and the algorithm microprogram have been successfully synthesized and simulated with MENTOR GRAPHICS of EDA tools and its simulation proves the validity of PCU.
