Dedication Dedicated to my wife Christine Kimmitt i ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY A TYPE-SAFE APPARATUS EXECUTING HIGHER ORDER FUNCTIONS IN CONJUNCTION WITH HARDWARE ERROR TOLERANCE JONATHAN RICHARD ROBERT KIMMITT October 2015 The increasing commoditization of computers in modern society has exceeded the pace of associated developments in reliability. Although theoretical computer science has advanced greatly in the last thirty years, many of the best techniques have yet to find their way into embedded computers, and their failure can have a great potential for disrupting society. This dissertation presents some approaches to improve computer reliability using software and hardware techniques, and makes the following claims for novelty: innovative development of a toolchain and libraries to support extraction from dependent type checking in a theorem prover; conceptual design and deployment in reconfigurable hardware; an extension of static type-safety to hardware description language and FPGA level; elimination of legacy C code from the target and toolchain; a novel hardware error detection scheme is described and compared with conventional triple modular redundancy. The elimination of any user control of memory management promotes robustness against buffer overruns, and consequently prevents vulnerability to common Trojan techniques. The methodology identifies type punning as a key weakness of commonly encountered embedded languages such as C, in particular the extreme difficulty of determining if an array access is in bounds, or if dynamic memory has been properly allocated and released. A method of eliminating dependence on type-unsafe libraries is presented, in conjunction with code that has optionally been proved correct according to user-defined criteria. An appropriately defined subset of OCaml is chosen with support for the Coq theorem prover in mind, and then evaluated with a custom backend that supports behavioural Verilog, as well as a fixed execution unit and associated control store. Results are presented for this alternative platform for reliable embedded systems development that may be used in future industrial flows. To provide assurance of correct operation, the proven software needs to be executed in an environment where errors are checked and corrected in conjunction with appropriate exception processing in the event of an uncorrectable error. Therefore, the present author’s previously published error detection scheme based on dual-rail logic and self-checking checkers is further developed and compared with traditional N-modular redundancy. keywords: FPGA, type-safety, fault-tolerance, self-checking ii Contents Contents iii List of Figures vii List of Tables viii Glossary xiii 1 Introduction1 1.1 Background . .1 1.2 Statement of the Hypothesis to be demonstrated . .4 1.3 Research questions, Scope and Objectives . .6 1.4 Original contributions to knowledge . .7 1.5 Method Overview . .8 1.6 Thesis Structure . 10 2 Literature review 11 2.1 Software correctness review . 12 2.2 Logic synthesis review . 15 2.3 Reliability review . 16 3 Methodology 18 3.1 Methodology introduction . 19 3.2 Coq as a hardware verification language . 20 3.2.1 Limitations of Coq for hardware verification . 21 3.3 Compiling OCaml for FPGA . 21 3.4 Fault tolerance . 21 3.5 Garbage Collection . 21 iii 3.6 Utility . 22 3.7 Summary . 22 4 Dependent types in Coq 24 4.1 Proving formalisations in Coq . 24 4.1.1 Executable proofs . 25 4.2 Formalisation of the λ-Calculus.......................... 25 4.3 The extraction process . 26 4.4 OCaml for Hardware Description language use . 31 4.5 Design and Proving Example . 32 4.6 Summary . 33 5 An OCaml compiler for bare-FPGA 34 5.1 Comparison to High Level Synthesis . 35 5.2 Custom OCaml backend . 35 5.3 Library implementation . 36 5.4 Eliminating the type-unsafe layer . 39 5.5 Extracted Compilation Example . 40 5.6 Summary . 46 6 Conversion and compilation to FPGA 47 6.1 The compilation and linking process . 48 6.2 Formatting the control store . 49 6.3 Embedded startup and Global memory . 51 6.4 Parallel simulation and black-box testing . 51 6.5 Simulation Example . 52 6.6 Summary . 54 7 Comparison of TMR and Dual-rail logic 55 7.1 Double-rail logic for fault-tolerance . 55 7.1.1 Conventional Approaches . 55 7.1.2 Failure statistics . 56 7.1.3 Asynchronous double-rail logic . 56 7.1.4 The chosen approach . 56 iv 7.2 Methodology . 57 7.2.1 Conventional Methodology . 57 7.2.2 Description of the proposed new approach . 57 7.2.3 Detailed discussion of the conversion to fault-tolerance . 57 7.3 Results . 61 7.3.1 Preparing the pre-synthesis simulation . 62 7.3.2 Applying the tool-chain . 62 7.4 Benefits . 67 7.4.1 Security . 67 7.4.2 Adaptive clocking . 68 7.5 Limitations . 68 7.6 Comparison of different approaches . 68 7.7 Comparing the redundancy approaches . 69 7.8 Chapter Summary . 70 8 Memory Management 71 8.1 Basic garbage collection techniques . 71 8.2 Garbage collection as part of memory management . 72 8.3 In-place garbage collection algorithm . 72 8.4 Summary . 74 9 Discussion and analysis 76 9.1 Selection of the parser . 77 9.2 Example of a simply-typed λ-Calculus...................... 78 9.3 Built-in fault mitigation circuitry . 86 9.4 Comparison of implementation by five methods . 86 9.5 Error recovery in a fault-tolerant processor . 96 9.5.1 Linking hardware exceptions to the OCaml exception mechanism . 96 9.5.2 Hardware exceptions example . 97 9.6 Summary . 100 10 Conclusions 101 10.1 Limitations and Further work . 103 v References 104 Appendix-A 118 Appendix-B 126 Appendix-C 134 Appendix-D 144 Appendix-E 147 Appendix-F 152 Appendix-G 155 Appendix-H 163 Appendix-I 166 Appendix-J 175 vi List of Figures 1.1 Flow overview . .5 1.2 Software development flow . .9 6.1 Separate compilation flow . 48 6.2 ROM linkage flow . 49 6.3 Block diagram of Amber-derived memory architecture . 53 7.1 Modified FPGA flow . 58 8.1 Organisation of object memory . 74 9.1 Execution on ML605 apparatus of λ-Calculus example of Table 9.5...... 79 9.2 Close-up display of λ-Calculus example of Table 9.5 (SVGA montage) . 80 9.3 Top-level (block diagram) of FPGA processor . 87 9.4 Four redundancy techniques . 87 9.5 Four timing results . 88 9.6 Top-level (schematic) of FPGA processor . 89 9.7 Hardware logic synthesis redundancy flow choices . 90 9.8 Simulation of hardware error handling in fault-tolerant processor . 99 I.1 Internals of Amber-derived processor . 166 vii List of Tables 4.1 Dependently typed λ-Calculus formalisation . 27 4.2 Statically typed executable semantics . 28 4.3 Fragment of extracted code for λ-Calculus application . 29 4.4 Replacement axioms in OCaml code . 30 5.1 Embedded OCaml library features . 37 5.2 Compilation of let rec f n = if n = 0 then 1 else n*f(n-1) in f 6 ........ 38 5.3 Summary of polymorphic support in OCaml . 39 5.4 External functions in the embedded subset . 40 5.5 Influence of extraction algorithm on performance/size in bytes . 45 6.1 Control store format . 50 7.1 XQR4VLX200 upsets . 57 7.2 Custom flow code statistics . 58 7.3 Double rail logic encoding . ..

  • Development and Certification of Mixed-Criticality Embedded
    Development and Certification of Mixed-criticality Embedded Systems based on Probabilistic Timing Analysis Irune Agirre Troncoso Computer Architecture Department Universitat Polit`ecnicade Catalunya A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD in Computer Architecture May 2018 Development and Certification of Mixed-criticality Embedded Systems based on Probabilistic Timing Analysis Irune Agirre Troncoso May 2018 Universitat Polit`ecnicade Catalunya Computer Architecture Department Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Architecture Advisor: Francisco J. Cazorla, Barcelona Supercomputing Center and IIIA-CSIC Co-advisor: Mikel Azkarate-askatsua, IK4-Ikerlan Technology Research Center The work reported in this Thesis has been conducted in collaboration between the Univer- sitat Polit`ecnicade Catalunya, the Dependable Embedded Systems department of IK4-Ikerlan Technology Research Center and the Computer Architecture and Operating Systems (CAOS) group of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). i ii Abstract An increasing variety of emerging systems relentlessly replace or aug- ment the functionality of mechanical subsystems with embedded elec- tronics. For quantity, complexity, and use, the safety of such subsys- tems, often subject to regulation, is an increasingly important matter. Those systems are subject to safety certification to demonstrate sys- tem's safety by rigorous development processes and hardware/software constraints. The massive augment in embedded processors' complexity renders the arduous certification task significantly harder to achieve. The focus of this thesis is to address the certification challenges in multicore architectures: despite their potential to integrate several ap- plications on a single platform, their inherent complexity imperils their timing predictability and certification. For the former, Measurement- Based Probabilistic Timing Analysis (MBPTA) has recently emerged as an alternative to deal with hardware/software complexity.

  • Exploring C Semantics and Pointer Provenance
    Exploring C Semantics and Pointer Provenance KAYVAN MEMARIAN, University of Cambridge VICTOR B. F. GOMES, University of Cambridge BROOKS DAVIS, SRI International STEPHEN KELL, University of Cambridge ALEXANDER RICHARDSON, University of Cambridge ROBERT N. M. WATSON, University of Cambridge PETER SEWELL, University of Cambridge The semantics of pointers and memory objects in C has been a vexed question for many years. C values cannot be treated as either purely abstract or purely concrete entities: the language exposes their representations, 67 but compiler optimisations rely on analyses that reason about provenance and initialisation status, not just runtime representations. The ISO WG14 standard leaves much of this unclear, and in some respects differs with de facto standard usage — which itself is difficult to investigate. In this paper we explore the possible source-language semantics for memory objects and pointers, in ISO C and in C as it is used and implemented in practice, focussing especially on pointer provenance. We aim to, as far as possible, reconcile the ISO C standard, mainstream compiler behaviour, and the semantics relied on by the corpus of existing C code. We present two coherent proposals, tracking provenance via integers and not; both address many design questions. We highlight some pros and cons and open questions, and illustrate the discussion with a library of test cases. We make our semantics executable as a test oracle, integrating it with the Cerberus semantics for much of the rest of C, which we have made substantially more complete and robust, and equipped with a web-interface GUI. This allows us to experimentally assess our proposals on those test cases.

  • Effective Types: Examples (P1796R0) 2 3 4 PETER SEWELL, University of Cambridge 5 KAYVAN MEMARIAN, University of Cambridge 6 VICTOR B
    1 Effective types: examples (P1796R0) 2 3 4 PETER SEWELL, University of Cambridge 5 KAYVAN MEMARIAN, University of Cambridge 6 VICTOR B. F. GOMES, University of Cambridge 7 JENS GUSTEDT, INRIA 8 HUBERT TONG 9 10 11 This is a collection of examples exploring the semantics that should be allowed for objects 12 and subobjects in allocated regions – especially, where the defined/undefined-behaviour 13 boundary should be, and how that relates to compiler alias analysis. The examples are in 14 C, but much should be similar in C++. We refer to the ISO C notion of effective types, 15 but that turns out to be quite flawed. Some examples at the end (from Hubert Tong) show 16 that existing compiler behaviour is not consistent with type-changing updates. 17 This is an updated version of part of n2294 C Memory Object Model Study Group: 18 Progress Report, 2018-09-16. 19 1 INTRODUCTION 20 21 Paragraphs 6.5p{6,7} of the standard introduce effective types. These were added to 22 C in C99 to permit compilers to do optimisations driven by type-based alias analysis, 23 by ruling out programs involving unannotated aliasing of references to different types 24 (regarding them as having undefined behaviour). However, this is one of the less clear, 25 less well-understood, and more controversial aspects of the standard, as one can see from 1 2 26 various GCC and Linux Kernel mailing list threads , blog postings , and the responses to 3 4 27 Questions 10, 11, and 15 of our survey .

Ross, Jr., Secretary National Institute of Standards and Technology Kent Rochford, Acting NIST Director and Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology Abstract Static analyzers examine the source or executable code of programs to find problems. Many static analyzers use heuristics or approximations to handle programs up to millions of lines of code. We established the Ockham Sound Analysis Criteria to recognize static analyzers whose findings are always correct. In brief the criteria are (1) the analyzer’s findings are claimed to always be correct, (2) it produces findings for most of a program, and (3) even one incorrect finding disqualifies an analyzer. This document begins by explaining the background and requirements of the Ockham Criteria. In Static Analysis Tool Exposition (SATE) V, only one tool was submitted to be re- viewed. Pascal Cuoq and Florent Kirchner ran the August 2013 development version of Frama-C on pertinent parts of the Juliet 1.2 test suite. We divided the warnings into eight classes, including improper buffer access, NULL pointer dereference, integer overflow, and use of uninitialized variable.
