嵌入式开发笔记——调试组件SEGGER_HardFaultHandle
一、前言
在使用Cortex-M内核的MCU进行开发时，有时候会因为对内存错误访问等原因造成程序产生异常从而进入HardFaultHandler错误中断。如果程序结构比较复杂，尤其是运行了RTOS时可能短时间内不易定位异常产生的原因。Segger提供了一种分析CortexM内核芯片HardFault的方法，我在项目中使用后感觉该方法比较实用，本文用来记录该异常分析组件的使用。
二、组件添加
在SEGGER官网的Application Notes页面下提供了该组件的源码和文档
下载下来后将源文件添加到工程中，然后将中断处理文件中的void HardFault_Handler(void)函数屏蔽掉（和添加的文件中的函数有冲突）就完成添加了。
三、组件应用
执行以下代码使程序进入HardFault_Handler
volatile unsigned int* p;
p = (unsigned int*)0x007FFFFF; // 小于0x8000000的地址在STM32中无效
*p = 0x123456;
SEGGER_RTT_printf(0, "p = %d\r\n", *p);
在调试模式下运行程序会停在SEGGER_HardFaultHandler.c文件中的void HardFaultHandler(unsigned int* pStack)函数中。
/*********************************************************************
*
* HardFaultHandler()
*
* Function description
* C part of the hard fault handler which is called by the assembler

*/
void HardFaultHandler(unsigned int* pStack) {
SEGGER_RTT_printf(0, "system enter hard-fault\r\n");
//
// In case we received a hard fault because of a breakpoint instruction, we return.
// This may happen when using semihosting for printf outputs and no debugger is connected,
// i.e. when running a "Debug" configuration in release mode.
//
if (NVIC_HFSR & (1u << 31)) {
NVIC_HFSR |= (1u << 31); // Reset Hard Fault status
*(pStack + 6u) += 2u; // PC is located on stack at SP + 24 bytes. Increment PC by 2 to skip break instruction.
return; // Return to interrupted application
}

//

while (_Continue == 0u) {
}
//

HardFaultRegs.SavedRegs.pc = pStack[6]; // Program counter PC
HardFaultRegs.SavedRegs.psr.byte = pStack[7]; // Program status word PSR
//
// Halt execution
// To step out of the HardFaultHandler, change the variable value to != 0.
//
_Continue = 0u;
while (_Continue == 0u) {
}
#else
//
// If this module is included in a release configuration, simply stay in the HardFault handler
//
(void)pStack;
do {
} while (1);
#endif

将HardFaultRegs结构体添加到Watch窗口中，通过一步步向下执行程序可以看到结构体中各参数状态，每个寄存器及寄存器bit位表示什么含义在结构体定义中均有说明。
将_Continue变量也添加到Watch窗口，当执行到以下代码处时在Watch窗口中改变变量值就可以继续向下执行。
//
// Halt execution
// If NVIC registers indicate readable memory, change the variable value to != 0 to continue execution.
//
_Continue = 0u;
while (_Continue == 0u) {
}
通过对寄存器分析可得出产生异常的原因。
四、扩展
Cortex-M故障异常
Cortex-M processors implement different fault exceptions.
HardFault Exception
The HardFault is the default exception, raised on any error which is not associated with another (enabled) exception.
The HardFault has a fixed priority of -1, i.e. it has a higher priority than all other interrupts and exceptions except for NMI. Therefore a HardFault exception handler can always be entered when an error happens in application code, an interrupt, or another exception. The HardFault is exception number 3 in the vector table with IRQ number -13.
MemManage Exception
The MemManage exception is available with the use of a Memory Protection Unit (MPU) to raise an exception on memory access violations.
The MemManage is exception number 4 in the vector table, IRQ Number -12, and has a configurable priority.
BusFault Exception
The BusFault exception is raised on any memory access error. E.g. by illegal read, write, or vector catch.
The BusFault is exception number 5 in the vector table, IRQ number -11, and has configurable priority. BusFaults can explicitly be enabled in the system control block (SCB). When BusFault is not enabled, a HardFault is raised.
UsageFault Exception
The UsageFault exception is raised on execution errors. Unaligned access on load/store multiple instructions are always caught. Exceptions on other unaligned access, as well as division by zero can be additionally enabled in the SCB.
The UsageFault is exception number 6 in the vector table, IRQ number -10, and has configurable priority. When UsageFault is not enabled, a HardFault is raised instead.
故障状态寄存器
The Cortex-M System Control Block (SCB) contains some registers which enable configuration of exceptions and provide information about faults.
HardFault Status Register (HFSR)
The HFSR is in the SCB at address 0xE000ED2C. It is a 32-bit register.
Bitfields:
[31] DEBUGEVT - Reserved for use by debugger/debug probe. Always write 0.
[30] FORCED - If 1, HardFault has been caused by escalation of another exception, because it is disabled or because of priority.
[1] VECTTBL - If 1, a BusFault occurred by reading the vector table for exception processing.
UsageFault Status Register (UFSR)
The UFSR is a 16-bit pseudo-register, part of the Configurable Fault Status Register (CFSR) at address 0xE000ED28. It can also be directly accessed with halfword access to 0xE000ED2A.
Bitfields:
[9] DIVBYZERO - If 1, SDIV or UDIV instruction executed with divisor 0.
[8] UNALIGNED - If 1, LDM, STM, LDRD, STRD on unaligned address executed, or single load or store executed when enabled to trap.
[3] NOCP - If 1, access to unsupported (e.g. not available or not enabled) coprocessor.
[2] INVPC - If 1, illegal or invalid EXC_RETURN value load to PC.
[1] INVSTATE - If 1, execution in invalid state. E.g. Thumb bit not set in EPSR, or invalid IT state in EPSR.
[0] UNDEFINSTR - If 1, execution of undefined instruction.
BusFault Status Register (BFSR) and BusFault Address Register (BFAR)
The BFSR is a 8-bit pseudo-register in the CFSR. It can be directly accessed with byte access ad 0xE000ED29. The BFAR is a 32-bit register at 0xE000ED38.
Bitfields:
[7] BFARVALID - If 1, the BFAR contains the address which caused the BusFault.
[5] LSPERR - 1f 1, fault during floating-point lazy stack preservation.
[4] STKERR - If 1, fault on stacking for exception entry.
[3] UNSTKERR - If 1, fault on unstacking on exception return.
[2] IMPRECISERR - If 1, return address is not related to fault, e.g. fault caused before.
[1] PRECISERR - If 1, return address instruction caused the fault.
[0] IBUSERR - If 1, fault on instruction fetch.
MemManage Fault Status Register (MMFSR) and MemManage fault Address Register (MMFAR)
The MMFSR is a 8-bit pseudo-register in the CFSR. It can be directly accessed with byte access ad 0xE000ED28. The MMFAR is a 32-bit register at 0xE000ED34.
Bitfields:
[7] MMARVALID - If 1, the MMFAR contains the address which caused the MemManageFault.
[5] MLSPERR - 1f 1, fault during floating-point lazy stack preservation.
[4] MSTKERR - If 1, fault on stacking for exception entry.
[3] MUNSTKERR - If 1, fault on unstacking on exception return.
[1] DACCVIOL - If 1, data access violation.
[0] IACCVIOL - If 1, instruction access violation.
Stack Recovery
On exception entry, the exception handler can check which stack has been used when the fault happened. When bit EXC_RETURN[2] is set, MSP has been used, otherwise PSP has been used.
The stack can be used to recover the CPU register values.
CPU Register Recovery
On exception entry, some CPU registers are stored on the stack and can be read from there for error analysis. the following registers are recoverable:
r0 = pStack[0]; // Register R0
r1 = pStack[1]; // Register R1
r2 = pStack[2]; // Register R2
r3 = pStack[3]; // Register R3
r12 = pStack[4]; // Register R12
lr = pStack[5]; // Link register LR
pc = pStack[6]; // Program counter PC
psr.byte = pStack[7]; // Program status word PSR
