Verified Page Table for NrOS

Verification

Install Verus as described in the official documentation.

# Replace $verus with the path to the verus binary
git clone [e-mail]:utaal/verified-nrkernel.git
$verus ./verified-nrkernel/page-table/main.rs --cfg feature=\"impl\" --rlimit 30

Verification may take around a minute. You should see output similar to this:

[...]
verification results:: 288 verified, 0 errors

The impl feature flag can be omitted to check only the state machine modeling, not the implementation.

Structure

The page table code and corresponding proofs are in the page-table directory. We use the convention that files and directories with _t (e.g. definitions_t.rs or spec_t) need to be trusted, while those with _u do not need to be trusted. Trusted files contain for example specifications and the axiomatized memory interface. Untrusted files include the implementation, whose correctness is verified.

The directory structure is as follows:

• main.rs
• definitions_t.rs -- Definitions used in trusted files
• definitions_u.rs -- Definitions used only in untrusted files
• extra.rs -- Helper lemmas
• impl_u -- Implementations and proofs. The interface to the page table is in l2_refinement.rs (impl impl_spec::InterfaceSpec ..) and the main implementation is in l2_impl.rs (e.g. fn map_frame).
• spec_t -- Specifications. The high-level specification is in hlspec.rs and the hardware model in hardware.rs.
