//! Utilities for safely operating on memory shared between untrusting
//! processes.
//!
//! `shared-buffer` provides support for safely operating on memory buffers
//! which are shared with another process which is untrusted. The Rust memory
//! model assumes that only code running in the current process - and thus
//! either trusted or generated by Rust itself - operates on a given region of
//! memory. As a result, simply treating a region of memory to which another,
//! untrusted process has read or write access as equivalent to normal process
//! memory is unsafe. This crate provides the `SharedBuffer` type, which has
//! methods that allow safe access to such memory.
//!
//! Examples of issues that could arise if shared memory were treated as normal
//! memory include:
//! - Unintentionally leaking sensitive values to another process
//! - Allowing other processes to cause an invalid sequence of memory to be
//!   interpreted as a given type

// NOTES(joshlf) on implementation: We need to worry about the following issues:
// - If another process has write access to a given region of memory, then
//   arbitrary writes may happen at any time. Thus, it is never safe to access
//   this memory through any Rust type other than a raw pointer, or else the
//   compiler might allow operations or make optimizations based on the
//   assumption that the memory is either owned (in the case of a mutable
//   reference) or immutable (in the case of an immutable reference). In either
//   of these cases, any such allowance or optimization would be unsound. For
//   example, the compiler might decide that, after having written a T to a
//   particular memory location, it is safe to read that memory location and
//   treat it as a T. This would cause undefined behavior if the other process
//   modified that memory location in the meantime. Perhaps more fundamentally,
//   both mutable and immutable references guarantee that nobody else is
//   modifying this memory other than me (and not even me, in the case of an
//   immutable reference). On this basis alone, it is clear that neither
//   reference is compatible with foreign write access to the referent.
// - If another process has read access to a given region of memory, then it
//   cannot affect the correctness of a Rust program. However, it can do things
//   that do not technically violate correctness, but are still undesirable. The
//   canonical example is reading memory which contains sensitive information.
//   Even if the programmer were to construct a mutable reference to such memory
//   and write a value to it which the programmer intended to be shared with the
//   other process, the compiler might use the fact that it had exclusive access
//   to the memory (so says the mutable reference...) to store any arbitrary
//   value in the memory temporarily. So long as it's not observable from the
//   Rust program, it preserves the semantics of the program. Of course, it *is*
//   observable from the other process, and there are no guarantees on what the
//   compiler might decide to store there, including any value currently in your
//   memory space, including particularly sensitive values. As a result, while
//   read-only access doesn't violate the correctness of a Rust program, it's
//   still worth handling carefully.
//
// In order to address both of these issues, our approach is simple: never treat
// the memory as anything other than a raw pointer. Do not construct any
// references, mutable or immutable, even temporarily, and even if they are
// never used. This basically boils down to only accessing the memory using the
// various functions from core::ptr which operate directly on raw pointers.

// NOTE(joshlf):
// - Since you must assume that the other process might be writing to the
//   memory, there's no technical requirement to have exclusive access. E.g., we
//   could safely implement Clone, have write and write_at take immutable
//   references, etc. (see here for a discussion of the soundness of using
//   copy_nonoverlapping simultaneously in multiple threads:
//   https://users.rust-lang.org/t/copy-nonoverlapping-concurrently/18353).
//   However, this would be confusing because it would depart from the Rust
//   idiom. Instead, we provide SharedBuffer, which has ownership semantics
//   analogous to Vec, and SharedBufferSlice and SharedBufferSliceMut, which
//   have reference semantics analogous to immutable and mutable slice
//   references. Similarly, write, write_at, and release_writes take mutable
//   references.
//   Clone and provide slicing methods. There's no point not to.
// - Since all access to these buffers must go through the methods of
//   SharedBuffer, correct code may not construct a reference to this memory.
//   Thus, the references to dst and src passed to read, read_at, write, and
//   write_at cannot overlap with the buffer itself, and so it's safe to use
//   ptr::copy_nonoverlapping.
// - Note on volatility and observability: The memory in a SharedBuffer is
//   either allocated by this process and then sent to another process, or
//   allocated by another process and sent to this process. However, on Fuchsia,
//   what's actually shared is a VMO, which is then mapped into the address
//   space. While LLVM is almost certainly guaranteed to treat this call as
//   opaque, and thus to be unable to prove to itself that the returned memory
//   is not shared, it is worth hedging against that reasoning being wrong. If
//   LLVM were, for some reason, to decide that mapping a VMO resulted in
//   uniquely owned memory, it would be able to reason that writes to that
//   memory could never be observed by other threads, and so if the writes were
//   not observed by the _current_ thread, they could be elided altogether since
//   they could have no effect. In order to hedge against this possibility, and
//   to ensure that LLVM definitely cannot take this line of reasoning, we
//   volatile write the pointer when we first construct the SharedBuffer. LLVM
//   must conclude that it doesn't know who else is using the memory once a
//   pointer to it has been written in a volatile manner, and so must assume
//   that all future writes must be observable. This single volatile write which
//   happens at most once per message (although more likely once when the
//   connection is first established) has minimal performance overhead.

// - Create a variant for read-only memory
// - Create a variant for write-only memory?
