Microarchitectural Vulnerability Remediation: Silent Glitch-NOP Instruction Skip Protection
Description
This PR addresses an unhandled state-machine fault injection vector mapped via bounded model checking (BMC) and k-induction verifying transient fault vulnerabilities.
When a transient setup-time fault suppresses
instr_valid_ifor a single cycle while an instruction fetch is active (instr_new_i), the internal decode logic drops the instruction silently (interpreting it as a NOP). The baseline logic fails to triggeralert_major_o, presenting an opening for physical instruction-skipping fault injection attacks.Hardening Implemented
rtl/ibex_id_stage.svto detect unhandled instruction suppression by tracking active decode phases (id_fsm_q != FIRST_CYCLE) while accounting for legitimate memory wait states (~stall_id).alert_major_odirectly upon detecting unhandled glitch suppression to alert OpenTitan's alert handler.Verification Artifacts
