[PATCH 0/8] SmePMP bugfixes and improvement

[Yu-Chien Peter Lin]

This series improves SmePMP related functions and fixes
the access fault during domain context switch when SmePMP
is enabled.

Yu-Chien Peter Lin (8):
  lib: sbi_hart: move sbi_hart_get_smepmp_flags() to sbi_domain
  lib: sbi_domain: allow specifying inaccessible region
  lib: sbi_domain: print unsupported SmePMP permissions
  lib: sbi_hart: add error message for insufficient PMP entries
  lib: sbi_domain_context: skip the reserved entry during domain context
    switch
  lib: sbi_domain: add SBI_DOMAIN_MEMREGION_FW memregion flag
  lib: sbi_domain: ensure consistent firmware PMP entries
  lib: sbi_domain_context: preserve firmware PMP entries during domain
    context switch

[PATCH 1/8] lib: sbi_hart: move sbi_hart_get_smepmp_flags() to sbi_domain

[Yu-Chien Peter Lin]

Move sbi_hart_get_smepmp_flags() from sbi_hart.c to sbi_domain.c and
rename it to sbi_domain_get_smepmp_flags() to better reflect its
purpose of converting domain memory region flags to PMP configuration.

The function's original parameters (scratch and dom) were unused, so
this refactoring also makes the function cleaner.

[PATCH 2/8] lib: sbi_domain: allow specifying inaccessible region

[Yu-Chien Peter Lin]

According to the RISC‑V Privileged Specification, SmePMP
regions that grant no access in any privilege mode are
valid. Allow such regions to be specified.

[PATCH 3/8] lib: sbi_domain: print unsupported SmePMP permissions

[Yu-Chien Peter Lin]

The reg->flag is encoded with 6 bits to specify RWX
permissions for M-mode and S-/U-mode. However, only 16
of the possible encodings are valid on SmePMP.

Previously, specifying an unsupported encoding could fail
silently. Add a warning log when an unsupported permission
encoding is detected, improving visibility for debugging.

Is this reserved entry mapped(activated) during domain context switch ?
If my understanding is correct, the mapped reserved entry creates shared region between M-mode and "current supervisor domain".
Now we are performing domain context switch to "next supervisor domain which does not have permission to access that shared region".
In my opinion, this reserved entry should be disabled for security reason.

Maybe OpenSBI should "context-switch" the reserved entry?
If the reserved entry is mapped during the domain A, and system switches to domain B without unmapping the reserved entry.
Does this mean that OpenSBI cannot call sbi_hart_map_saddr() to map shared-region with domain B? Because the function will return SBI_ENOSPC in this case.


Best regards,
Alvin

This exceeds "unsigned long" of RV32 which only has 32 bits.
Besides, why we need this new flag?
Isn't SBI_DOMAIN_MEMREGION_M_ONLY_ACCESS(__flags) enough?

[PATCH 7/8] lib: sbi_domain: ensure consistent firmware PMP entries

[Yu-Chien Peter Lin]

Currently, during a domain context switch, all PMP entries — including
those granting RW/RX permissions to firmware data and code are cleared
which will lead to access faults.

To configure firmware PMP entries deterministically across switches,
sort regions so that firmware regions come before others.

[PATCH 8/8] lib: sbi_domain_context: preserve firmware PMP entries during domain context switch

[Yu-Chien Peter Lin]

When SmePMP is enabled, clearing firmware PMP entries during a domain
context switch can temporarily revoke access to OpenSBI’s own code and
data, leading to faults.

Keep firmware PMP entries enabled across switches so firmware regions
remain accessible and executable.

I totally missed this series because for some strange reason, it is not
showing up in OpenSBI patchwork
(https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/opensbi/list/).

Can you please rebase and resend this series ?
