Memory Protection Unit (MPU) Enhancements
This commit introduces a new MPU wrapper that places additional
restrictions on unprivileged tasks. The following is the list of changes
introduced with the new MPU wrapper:
1. Opaque and indirectly verifiable integers for kernel object handles:
All the kernel object handles (for example, queue handles) are now
opaque integers. Previously object handles were raw pointers.
2. Saving the task context in Task Control Block (TCB): When a task is
swapped out by the scheduler, the task's context is now saved in its
TCB. Previously the task's context was saved on its stack.
3. Execute system calls on a separate privileged only stack: FreeRTOS
system calls, which execute with elevated privilege, now use a
separate privileged only stack. Previously system calls used the
calling task's stack. The application writer can control the size of
the system call stack using new configSYSTEM_CALL_STACK_SIZE config
macro.
4. Memory bounds checks: FreeRTOS system calls which accept a pointer
and de-reference it, now verify that the calling task has required
permissions to access the memory location referenced by the pointer.
5. System call restrictions: The following system calls are no longer
available to unprivileged tasks:
- vQueueDelete
- xQueueCreateMutex
- xQueueCreateMutexStatic
- xQueueCreateCountingSemaphore
- xQueueCreateCountingSemaphoreStatic
- xQueueGenericCreate
- xQueueGenericCreateStatic
- xQueueCreateSet
- xQueueRemoveFromSet
- xQueueGenericReset
- xTaskCreate
- xTaskCreateStatic
- vTaskDelete
- vTaskPrioritySet
- vTaskSuspendAll
- xTaskResumeAll
- xTaskGetHandle
- xTaskCallApplicationTaskHook
- vTaskList
- vTaskGetRunTimeStats
- xTaskCatchUpTicks
- xEventGroupCreate
- xEventGroupCreateStatic
- vEventGroupDelete
- xStreamBufferGenericCreate
- xStreamBufferGenericCreateStatic
- vStreamBufferDelete
- xStreamBufferReset
Also, an unprivileged task can no longer use vTaskSuspend to suspend
any task other than itself.
