SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================================================================== +Concurrent Modification and Execution of Instructions (CMODX) for RISC-V Linux +============================================================================== + +CMODX is a programming technique where a program executes instructions that were +modified by the program itself. Instruction storage and the instruction cache +(icache) are not guaranteed to be synchronized on RISC-V hardware. Therefore, the +program must enforce its own synchronization with the unprivileged fence.i +instruction. + +However, the default Linux ABI prohibits the use of fence.i in userspace +applications. At any point the scheduler may migrate a task onto a new hart. If +migration occurs after the userspace synchronized the icache and instruction +storage with fence.i, the icache will no longer be clean. This is due to the +behavior of fence.i only affecting the hart that it is called on. Thus, the hart +that the task has been migrated to may not have synchronized instruction storage +and icache. + +There are two ways to solve this problem: use the riscv_flush_icache() syscall, +or use the ``PR_RISCV_SET_ICACHE_FLUSH_CTX`` prctl() and emit fence.i in +userspace. The syscall performs a one-off icache flushing operation. The prctl +changes the Linux ABI to allow userspace to emit icache flushing operations. + +prctl() Interface +--------------------- + +Call prctl() with ``PR_RISCV_SET_ICACHE_FLUSH_CTX`` as the first argument. The +remaining arguments will be delegated to the riscv_set_icache_flush_ctx +function detailed below. + +.. kernel-doc:: arch/riscv/mm/cacheflush.c + :identifiers: riscv_set_icache_flush_ctx + +Example usage: + +The following files are meant to be compiled and linked with each other.
