| 1 | +//! # Formal Verification Module (Z3 Integration Design) |
| 2 | +//! |
| 3 | +//! This module provides compile-time formal verification of memory safety |
| 4 | +//! using SMT solving (Z3 or similar). The goal is to prove, at compile time, |
| 5 | +//! that a program has no out-of-bounds memory accesses. |
| 6 | +//! |
| 7 | +//! ## Design Overview |
| 8 | +//! |
| 9 | +//! ### 1. Verification Pipeline |
| 10 | +//! |
| 11 | +//! ```text |
| 12 | +//! OVSM Source → IR Generator → IrProgram → SMT Encoder → Z3 Solver → Verdict |
| 13 | +//! │ │ |
| 14 | +//! │ ├── SAFE: No violations found |
| 15 | +//! │ ├── UNSAFE: Counter-example provided |
| 16 | +//! ▼ └── UNKNOWN: Timeout/complexity |
| 17 | +//! TypeEnv (pointer provenance) |
| 18 | +//! ``` |
| 19 | +//! |
| 20 | +//! ### 2. SMT Encoding Strategy |
| 21 | +//! |
| 22 | +//! **Variables:** |
| 23 | +//! - Each virtual register `Ri` becomes an SMT bitvector `r_i: BitVec(64)` |
| 24 | +//! - Memory regions become SMT arrays `mem_acct[k]: Array(BitVec(64), BitVec(64))` |
| 25 | +//! - Bounds become symbolic pairs `bounds_ptr_i: (start: BitVec(64), len: BitVec(64))` |
| 26 | +//! |
| 27 | +//! **Instructions → SMT Assertions:** |
| 28 | +//! ```lisp |
| 29 | +//! ; ConstI64(Ri, v) → |
| 30 | +//! (assert (= r_i #x0000000000000001)) |
| 31 | +//! |
| 32 | +//! ; Add(Rd, Ra, Rb) → |
| 33 | +//! (assert (= r_d (bvadd r_a r_b))) |
| 34 | +//! |
| 35 | +//! ; Load(Rd, Rbase, offset) → |
| 36 | +//! (assert (and |
| 37 | +//! (bvuge (bvadd r_base offset) bounds_base_start) |
| 38 | +//! (bvult (bvadd r_base offset 8) (bvadd bounds_base_start bounds_base_len)) |
| 39 | +//! )) |
| 40 | +//! (assert (= r_d (select mem_region r_base_plus_offset))) |
| 41 | +//! |
| 42 | +//! ; Store(Rbase, Rval, offset) → |
| 43 | +//! (assert (and |
| 44 | +//! (bvuge (bvadd r_base offset) bounds_base_start) |
| 45 | +//! (bvult (bvadd r_base offset 8) (bvadd bounds_base_start bounds_base_len)) |
| 46 | +//! writable_region |
| 47 | +//! )) |
| 48 | +//! ``` |
| 49 | +//! |
| 50 | +//! ### 3. Verification Checks |
| 51 | +//! |
| 52 | +//! For each memory access (Load/Store), we generate: |
| 53 | +//! 1. **In-bounds assertion**: offset + access_size ≤ region_size |
| 54 | +//! 2. **Alignment assertion**: offset % alignment == 0 |
| 55 | +//! 3. **Writability assertion** (for Store): region.writable == true |
| 56 | +//! |
| 57 | +//! We then check: |
| 58 | +//! ```lisp |
| 59 | +//! (check-sat) |
| 60 | +//! ; If UNSAT, the access is always safe |
| 61 | +//! ; If SAT, we have a counter-example (input that causes violation) |
| 62 | +//! ``` |
| 63 | +//! |
| 64 | +//! ### 4. Loop Handling |
| 65 | +//! |
| 66 | +//! Loops require special treatment: |
| 67 | +//! - **Bounded loops**: Unroll up to a limit, verify each iteration |
| 68 | +//! - **Unbounded loops**: Use loop invariants (manual annotation or inference) |
| 69 | +//! - **Conservative approach**: Treat loop-dependent values as unconstrained |
| 70 | +//! |
| 71 | +//! ### 5. Integration Points |
| 72 | +//! |
| 73 | +//! **TypeEnv provides:** |
| 74 | +//! - Register types (Value/Pointer/Bool) |
| 75 | +//! - Pointer provenance (which region, what bounds) |
| 76 | +//! - Accumulated memory errors (for reporting) |
| 77 | +//! |
| 78 | +//! **Z3 proves:** |
| 79 | +//! - No execution path leads to out-of-bounds access |
| 80 | +//! - All alignment constraints are satisfied |
| 81 | +//! - No writes to read-only regions |
| 82 | +//! |
| 83 | +//! ### 6. API Design |
| 84 | +//! |
| 85 | +//! ```rust,ignore |
| 86 | +//! pub struct Verifier { |
| 87 | +//! solver: z3::Solver, |
| 88 | +//! ctx: z3::Context, |
| 89 | +//! } |
| 90 | +//! |
| 91 | +//! impl Verifier { |
| 92 | +//! pub fn verify(&self, program: &IrProgram, type_env: &TypeEnv) -> VerificationResult { |
| 93 | +//! // 1. Encode IR instructions as SMT assertions |
| 94 | +//! let smt_program = self.encode(program, type_env); |
| 95 | +//! |
| 96 | +//! // 2. Add safety properties to check |
| 97 | +//! self.add_memory_safety_properties(&smt_program); |
| 98 | +//! |
| 99 | +//! // 3. Solve and interpret result |
| 100 | +//! match self.solver.check() { |
| 101 | +//! SatResult::Unsat => VerificationResult::Safe, |
| 102 | +//! SatResult::Sat => { |
| 103 | +//! let model = self.solver.get_model(); |
| 104 | +//! VerificationResult::Unsafe(self.extract_counterexample(model)) |
| 105 | +//! } |
| 106 | +//! SatResult::Unknown => VerificationResult::Unknown("timeout or complexity".into()), |
| 107 | +//! } |
| 108 | +//! } |
| 109 | +//! } |
| 110 | +//! ``` |
| 111 | +//! |
| 112 | +//! ### 7. Practical Considerations |
| 113 | +//! |
| 114 | +//! **Performance:** |
| 115 | +//! - Verification is O(expensive) but runs at compile time |
| 116 | +//! - Can be opt-in: `osvm ovsm compile --verify` |
| 117 | +//! - Cache verification results for unchanged code |
| 118 | +//! |
| 119 | +//! **Soundness:** |
| 120 | +//! - Must correctly model Solana sBPF semantics |
| 121 | +//! - Account data sizes are symbolic (dynamic) |
| 122 | +//! - CPI effects are conservatively modeled (may clobber memory) |
| 123 | +//! |
| 124 | +//! **Limitations:** |
| 125 | +//! - Undecidable in general (halting problem) |
| 126 | +//! - Loops may require manual invariants |
| 127 | +//! - External calls (syscalls) modeled conservatively |
| 128 | +//! |
| 129 | +//! ### 8. Future Enhancements |
| 130 | +//! |
| 131 | +//! - **Property annotations**: `(assert-safe expr)` in OVSM code |
| 132 | +//! - **Incremental verification**: Only re-verify changed functions |
| 133 | +//! - **Counter-example guided refinement**: Learn from failed proofs |
| 134 | +//! - **Parallel solving**: Use multiple Z3 instances for different paths |
