[PATCH v5] target/riscv: update checks on writing pmpcfg for Smepmp to version 1.0
Posted by Alvin Chang via 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Current checks on writing pmpcfg for Smepmp follows Smepmp version
0.9.1. However, Smepmp specification has already been ratified, and
there are some differences between version 0.9.1 and 1.0. In this
commit we update the checks of writing pmpcfg to follow Smepmp version
1.0.

When mseccfg.MML is set, the constraints to modify PMP rules are:
1. Locked rules cannot be removed or modified until a PMP reset, unless
   mseccfg.RLB is set.
2. From Smepmp specification version 1.0, chapter 2 section 4b:
   Adding a rule with executable privileges that either is M-mode-only
   or a locked Shared-Region is not possible and such pmpcfg writes are
   ignored, leaving pmpcfg unchanged.

The commit transfers the value of pmpcfg into the index of the Smepmp
truth table, and checks the rules by aforementioned specification
changes.

This is tricky and took me a while to get my head around.

From what I can tell, there is a bug in the spec.

The spec specifically states that:

"""
The meaning of pmpcfg.L changes: Instead of marking a rule as locked
and enforced in all modes, it
now marks a rule as M-mode-only when set and S/U-mode-only when unset.
"""

So the check for !pmp_is_locked() sounds correct.

But then they add:

"""
The formerly reserved encoding of pmpcfg.RW=01, and the encoding
pmpcfg.LRWX=1111, now encode a Shared-Region.
"""

Which contradicts what they just said.

I *think* we want to ignore the locked bit here. We don't actually
care if it's already set, instead we care if the region is an M-mode
only region from the 2.1 table

I think the best bet here is to create a helper function that takes a
pmpcfg value and returns if it is M-mode only. Then we should check if
the current pmp_index is M-mode only OR if we are adding one and then
reject that.

Does that make sense?
