- we include the build seed so that for many use cases we don't accidentally resume from a suspend
|
||||
built for a different FPGA image. This fails in the case that someone has fixed the seed for
|
||||
the purpose of reproducible builds.
|
||||
- we hash a whole page instead of just checking a couple words because power-off bit corruption
|
||||
on the RAM will be accumulated faster with a larger sampling size.
|
||||
- we don't hash the entire physical RAM space because we can't, due to process isolation enforced
|
||||
by the virtual memory system. But that would be a more robust way to do this, if we made some
|
||||
mechanism to reach around all the protections. But...a mechanism that can reach around all protections
|
||||
can reach around all protections, and is probably not worth the risk of abuse. So just checking a page of RAM
|
||||
is probably a reasonable compromise between security and robustness of detecting a short power-down.
