Problem
Working more with the Firedancer conformance harness, yet another inconsequential mismatch between the BPF version and its original builtin version has popped up.
When a builtin program attempts to write to an executable or read-only account, it will be immediately rejected by the
TransactionContext. However, BPF programs do not query theTransactionContextfor the ability to perform a write. Instead, they perform writes at-will, and the loader will inspect the serialized account memory region for any account update violations after the VM has completed execution.The loader's inspection will catch any unauthorized modifications, however, when the exact same data is written to the account, thus rendering the serialized account state unchanged, the program succeeds.
Summary of Changes
In order to maximize backwards compatibility between the BPF version and its original builtin, we add these checks from
TransactionContextto the program directly, to throw even when the data being written is the same as what's currently in the account.Unfortunately, the two
InstructionErrorvariants thrown do not haveProgramErrorcounterparts, so we mock them out with custom error codes.
