This patch adds a generic "post_cap_deletion" step that is called by
finalise_slot. Previous to this, the only caps which had actions
required at this stage were IRQHandlerCaps -- it was required that the
IRQ bitmap be updated after the cap itself was removed (as the
invariants state that for any existing IRQHandlerCap, the corresponding
bit in the IRQ bitmap must be set).
By genericising this, we add the capacity for new, arch-specific post
cap deletion actions to occur in the future.
This removes an ifdef present in invokeTCB_(Copy|Write)Registers, and
adds the function Arch_postModifyRegisters which does nothing on any
arch except x86-64.
Colloquially known as "invert-fastpath".
Update verification efforts on ARM for the following seL4 changes:
- scheduling decisions done in possibleSwitchTo are moved to the
scheduler
- possibleSwitchTo only checks whether the candidate is valid for a
fast switch, not its priority, accepting possible candidates
immmediately as a switch-to scheduler action
- the scheduler checks the candidate against the current thread and
against the bitmaps before making a decision
- attemptSwitchTo and switchIfRequiredTo are gone
- scheduler is now more complicated, and numerous proofs related to it
are rewritten from scratch
- fast path now checks ready queues via the scheduler bitmaps
- L2 scheduler bitmap order reversed for better cache locality
Many iterations between the kernel and verification teams were needed
to get this right.
The things that usually go wrong:
- wp fall through: add +, e.g.
apply (wp select_wp) -> apply (wp select_wp)+
- precondition: you can remove most hoare_pre, but wpc still needs it, and
sometimes the wp instance relies on being able to fit a rule to the
current non-schematic precondition. In that case, use "including no_pre"
to switch off the automatic hoare_pre application.
- very rarely there is a schematic postcondition that interferes with the
new trivial cleanup rules, because the rest of the script assumes some
specific state afterwards (shouldn't happen in a reasonable proof, but
not all proofs are reasonable..). In that case, (wp_once ...)+ should
emulate the old behaviour precisely.
* Rephrasing of all the lemmas that used to refer to tcb_context as
a direct value on tcb.
* Providing arch-specific lemmas about handle_arch_fault_reply and
make_arch_fault_msg to deal with handle_fault_reply and make_fault_msg
new arch-specific cases.
* Trivial but arch-specific proofs about reserved_irq

These changes to the automatons are required by:
SELFOUR-242: invert bitfield scheduler and optimise fast path
Details:
When we enter the kernel, the domain time left (ksDomainTime) is never zero.
If we entered on a timer interrupt, we may decrement it to zero before the
scheduler runs. If we do so, we set the scheduler state to choose_new_thread.
When choosing a new thread, the scheduler switches to a new domain if the
present one is required, and sets the new domain time left from domain_list
(ksDomSchedule).
When entering the kernel on a non-interrupt event, we never touch the domain
time left, which trivially preserves the new constraints.
To prove these, we had to ban a transition from kernel entry to kernel being
preempted when handling an interrupt event in InfoFlow. This is fine, as by
design handling interrupts is not meant to be preempted by interrupts.
