I'm wondering if we could put enough checks here to make this method safe. We could take the IO map as a
[u8]
slice and then do all of the necessary checks (it's in range, byte past the end is all 1s, iomap_base is <= 0xDFFFH, etc..). We either need to do these checks or document all the requirements from the SDM in the# Safety
section.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Returning a result if it fails the checks?

Either that or panic. We would need a custom error type for that (it could live in the tss module).

Btw, I've expanded on the safety requirements. I couldn't find any others than terminating 0xff byte, iomap_base <= 0xdfff, and it points to the IO map slice in the SDM, although maybe I missed some.

It might also be possible to have a
TssWithIoMap
struct, as discussed here, but I'm unsure how non-8192-length io permissions bitmaps should be handled. Otherwise, that could also be safe.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Later on, we could add a structure (the TssWithIoMap) to this library. That structure would make sure things stay valid (iomap_addr is correctly initialized, there's always a trailing 0xff byte, etc...) And we'd have a
descriptor
method on that structure that calls this method.There was a problem hiding this comment.

I think it should just check that the iomap_base is correct, and return an error if it's wrong.

Ok. I've pushed a prototype of this now.

I'm thinking over this change again, and I think it has pretty good potential to make mutation of the IO map impossible. As I understand it, it should be possible to change the IO permissions bitmap at runtime, or am I mistaken? If so, giving
&'static [u8]
would make any modifications instant UB. Perhaps it could take&'static [UnsafeCell<u8>]
to get around this?There was a problem hiding this comment.

The first part of this conversation seems to be resolved.
It's probably best to merge it as is and look into this in a separate PR. I'm not sure whether
UnsafeCell
would be enough for this or whether we need to e.g. useAtomicU8
. We should ask that someone who has more knowledge of the Rust compiler.There was a problem hiding this comment.

It would be great to have a
Display
implementation for this struct as a quick way to print an error.
