faults

Documentation

Overview

Package faults records memory faults generated by a coprocessor.

Usage of the word "faults" is a shorthand and should probably be referred to as "memory faults" in a user facing context.

Types

type Category

type Category string

Category classifies the approximate reason for a memory fault

const (
	NullDereference  Category = "null dereference"
	MisalignedAccess Category = "misaligned access"
	StackCollision   Category = "stack collision"
	IllegalAddress   Category = "illegal address"
	UndefinedSymbol  Category = "undefined symbol"
)

List of valid Category values

type Entry

type Entry struct {
	Category Category

	// description of the event that triggered the memory fault
	Event string

	// addresses related to the fault
	InstructionAddr uint32
	AccessAddr      uint32

	// number of times this specific illegal access has been seen
	Count int
}

Entry is a single entry in the fault log

func (Entry) String

func (e Entry) String() string

type Faults

type Faults struct {

	// all the accesses in order of the first time they appear. the Count field
	// in the IllegalAccessEntry can be used to see if that entry was seen more
	// than once *after* the first appearance
	Log []*Entry

	// is true once a stack collision has been detected. once a stack collision
	// has occured then subsequent illegal accesses cannot be trusted and will
	// likely not be logged
	HasStackCollision bool
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Faults records memory accesses by the coprocesser that are "illegal".

func NewFaults

func NewFaults() Faults

func (*Faults) Clear

func (flt *Faults) Clear()

Clear all entries from faults log. Does not clear the HasStackCollision flag

func (*Faults) NewEntry

func (flt *Faults) NewEntry(category Category, event string, instructionAddr uint32, accessAddr uint32)

NewEntry adds a new entry to the list of faults

func (Faults) WriteLog

func (flt Faults) WriteLog(w io.Writer)

WriteLog writes the list of faults in the order they were added
