Hypervisor Reverse Engineering
This is a copy of the page from 22nd of February 2011, right before ps3wiki.lan.st went down.
HSPRG
- The hypervisor stores a pointer to some structure per LPAR in HSPRG0 register.
- There are actually 2 HSPRG0 values: one for each thread of Cell CPU !!!
- There is a HSPRG0 array at 0x8(-0x69A0(HSPRG0)) + 0x20.
LPAR
LPAR = Logical Partition
lpar1 starts at 0x<unknown>, and its belived to be the memory space wherre lv1 stores its variables, flags and other data.
lpar2 starts at 0x80000000000 and it's belived to be the memory space where lv2 stores its variables, flags and other data.
The pointer to active LPAR is stored at -0x67E8(HSPRG0).
vtable
0x0033CA40 (3.15)
Member variables
offset 0x38 - some pointer
offset 0x50 - LPAR id (8 bytes)
offset 0x70 - pointer to VAS id bitmap
offset 0x78 - power of 2 of word size from VAS id bitmap (4 bytes), equal to 6
offset 0x7C - number of 64-bit words in VAS id bitmap(4 bytes)
Interrupt handling
The pointer to the interrupt handler that is called e.g. when an external interrupt occurs is at -0x69F0(HSPRG0).
0x00001930 (3.15 and 2.60)
Interrupt vector tables
There are 2 interrupt vector tables. One for each thread. The pointer to these tables is at -0x6950(HSPRG0).
offset 0x8 - IIC memory base address (8 bytes)
offset 0x10 - thread register offset (8 bytes)
offset 0x18 - start of interrupt vector table (19 entries, each entry 32 bytes)

Hash Function
- The name of a repository node is hashed and 2 hash values (2 32bit values) are produced.
- The 1st hash value is used to select a sub-hash table.
- The 2nd hash value is used to find a sub-hash table bucket.
- Repository nodes in a hash bucket are ordered by the 2nd hash value.
void hash(unsigned long long n1, unsigned long long n2, unsigned long long n3, unsigned long long n4, unsigned long *h1, unsigned long *h2) { unsigned long long h; unsigned long hl; h = ((((n1 ^ n4) >> 32) ^ (n2 ^ n3)) ^ (((n2 ^ n3) >> 32) ^ (n1 ^ n4))) & ~0xC0000000ULL; *h1 = h & 0xFFFFFFFFULL; h = ((h & 0x55555555ULL) << 1) | ((h & 0xAAAAAAAAULL) >> 1); h = ((h & 0x33333333ULL) << 2) | ((h & 0xCCCCCCCCULL) >> 2); h = ((h & 0xF0F0F0FULL) << 4) | ((h & 0xF0F0F0F0ULL) >> 4); hl = (h << 8) | ((h & 0xFF000000ULL) >> 24); hl = (hl & ~0xFF000000UL) | ((h & 0xFFULL) << 24); hl = (hl & ~0x0000FF00UL) | (((h << 24) | (h >> 8)) & 0x0000FF00ULL); hl |= 0x1; *h2 = hl; }

SB Bus Interrupt Handling
- There is a table of interrupt handlers for SB devices
- The size of table is 64
- The main SB bus interrupt handler is at 0x002B9CC4 (3.15)
- The main interrupt handler reads interrupt index and dispatches interrupts
Interrupt Index
- The main SB bus interrupt handler reads 2 32-bit values from addresses 0x24000008100 and 0x0x24000008104
- The interrupt index is calculated from these values

Storage bus subsystem
vtable
0x00353AC8 (3.15)
Member variables
offset 0xEE8 - table of pointers to storage device objects (7 * 8 bytes, max 7 devices)
Storage device class
Member variables
offset 0x8 - device id (8 bytes)
offset 0xD50 - device id (8 bytes)
offset 0xD60 - pointer to ENCDEC SB bus device object
Region Manager
- Each storage device has a Region Manager (i call it like that)
- Region Manager stores information about each Region of the storage device
- All Regions of a Region Manager are linked together
- Free Regions of a Region Manager are linked together also
- A Region Manager can have at most 8 Regions
Region
- Each storage device can have at most 8 regions (0-7)
- Each region has ACL table
- HV checks region ACLs before allowing access to the region
- Each region has a start sector that is an offset from the physical first sector of the storage device and a number of sectors
- The start sector passed to lv1 storage hvcalls is relative to the start sector of the region passed to the lv1 storage hvcall
Region ACL
offset 0x0 - LPAR AUTH ID (8 bytes)
offset 0x8 - access rigths (8 bytes)
offset 0x10 - entry valid flag: 0 - invalid, 1 - valid (1 byte)
Region Access Protection
- Before a storage region is accessed, HV checks access rights of the caller.
- Repository node ss.laid (LPAR authentication id) is evaluated for this purpose.
- If LPAR has a repository node ios.ata.region0.access (value doesn't matter) then the access rights check never fails. After System Manager sets ATA keys it removes this repository node from LPAR 1. If we add this repository node again or patch System Manager so it's not removed then we will be able to access all storage regions of all storage devices.
- ALL storage accesses from LPAR 1 are allowed
- If (flags & 0x100000002) != 0 then access rights check is skipped !!!.
I tested on HV 3.41 with flags 0x2 and got access to regions which were denied by policy (LV1_DENIED_BY_POLICY result).
Storage Device Partition Table
- Each storage device has a Partition Table
- Partition Table contains information about each region on the storage device

Here is the list of commands supported by FLASH StarShip 2 storage device.
- The commands can be used with HV call lv1_storage_send_device_command.
- However, before a command is executed HV does bit manipulation with it and checks it against the value of repository node ss.laid or also called LPAR authentication ID. If this test fails then the command is NOT executed.

/dev/eflash1 and /dev/rflash1
- These LPAR 1 devices access region 0 of FLASH storage device.
- /dev/rflash1 is 16MB large
- There is no file system on /dev/rflash1
- There is some sort of TOC (Table Of Contents) stored in it. It contains file names, offsets and sizes.
- On /dev/rflash1 you will find lv0, lv1ldr, lv2_lernel.self and all the other important SELFs.
- The files are encryted of course.
Content of /dev/rflash1 (FLASH storage device region 0, size 16 MB)
- There is a main TOC which describes different regions on /dev/rflash1
- It seems that TOC 0xC0000 and TOC 0x7C0000 contain the same files but from different SDK versions.
- TOC 0xC0000 is SDK version 3.41 and TOC 0x7C0000 is SDK version 3.30 (look at the content of files sdk_version).
- I guess it's because when i bought my PS 3 Slim it had Firmware 3.30 and i updated it to 3.41 for PSGroove.
- TOC on /dev/rflash1 is used by HV Processes to locate files and load them into memory, e.g. SPU modules. E.g. Process 6 loads spu_utoken_processor.self to decrypt and verify user tokens or SPL which runs in Process 5 loads spp_verifier.self from there in order to decrypt and verify profile files. And Update Manager stores e.g. there files.
TOC Entry
A TOC entry is 0x30 bytes large.
offset 0x0 - relative offset from this TOC to entry data
offset 0x8 - entry data size
offset 0x10 - entry name (max 32 characters)

Supported Device Commands
Here is the list of commands supported by HDD storage device.
- The commands can be used with HV call lv1_storage_send_device_command.
- However, before a command is executed HV does bit manipulation with it and checks it against the value of repository node ss.laid or also called LPAR authentication ID. If this test fails then the command is NOT executed.

/dev/rflash1_1x and /dev/rflash_1xp
- These LPAR 1 devices access region 5 of UNKNOWN storage device.
- In region 5 of UNKNOWN storage device is e.g. LINUX image stored.
GameOS's dev_flash
- dev_flash has FAT16 file system.
- Accesses to GameOS's dev_flash are routed to UNKNOWN storage device region 2
- To decrypt sectors read from this region use as flags 0x4 !!! Without using flags 0x4 the sectors will be encrypted.
- The sectors are decrypted not by GameOS but by ENCDEC device.
Here is a snippet from raw dev_flash dump made with HV call lv1_storage_read (flags 0x4) from GameOS:

Enqueueing and Scheduling of Storage Requests
- HV uses a simple FIFO scheduling algorithm for Storage Requests and a request timeout.
- Each storage device has a table of size 16 to store incomming and pending Storage Requests
- ENCDEC storage device has a table of size 32 to store incomming and pending Storage Requests
- When a new Storage Request is submitted e.g. by HV call lv1_storage_read or lv1_storage_write, the table is scanned for a free slot, if there are no pending Storage Requests then the Storage Request is executed immediately
- When a Storage Request is completed, the finished Storage Reuqest is passed to function storage_device_async_request_complete and the table of Storage Requests is scanned again for the next pending Storage Request which will be executed
- There are 2 types of Storage Requests: Read/Write (1) and Device Command (2).
- Read and Write Storage Requests use the same HV function of a Storage Device to enqueue the request. Before Write Storage Request is inserted into the Request Table of a Storage Device, the flags parameter passed e.g. in lv1_storage_read or lv1_storage_write is ored with 0x8. That is how HV differentiates between Read and Write Storage Requests.
Storage Device Request Table
- Each request slot is of size 0x58
Request Slot
offset 0x0 - state: 1 - free, 2 - ? (4 bytes)
offset 0x4 - type: 1 - Read/Write, 2 - Command, 0x86 - ENCDEC command (4 bytes)
offset 0x10 - request tag (8 bytes)
offset 0x20 - start sector (8 bytes)
offset 0x28 - sector count (4 bytes)
ENCDEC Storage Device
- Request Table begins at offset 0xDC0 of ENCDEC storage device.
RBD Storage Device
- Request Table begins at offset 0x1808 of RBD storage device.
FLASH Storage Device
- Request Table begins at offset 0x18F0 of FLASH storage device.
HDD Storage Device
- Request Table begins at offset 0x17E8 of HDD storage device.

Encryption and Decryption of Storage Devices
HDD
- ENCDEC peripheral device is used for HDD encryption/decryption
- Write request is first passed to ENCDEC device for encryption. When ENCDEC device is done, it calls a callback and passes the encrypted data to the callback. The callback writes the encrypted data with ATA WriteDMAExt command to HDD.
- When a storage device request is processed by HV, Storage Subsystem checks if cryptography is enabled for the storage device.
- HV checks 1 byte of data owned by the storage device and when the value of this flag is not 0 then it uses encryption/decryption.
- By setting this flag to 0 at runtime, encryption/decryption of storage devices can be disabled at runtime.
- We could patch lv1.self so that encryption/decryption of storage devices is disabled permanently.
- HDD sectors can be both decrypted and encrypted with HV calls
UFS2
- Superblock starts at sector 0x80.
- At the end of the superblock structure you will find UFS2 signature 0x19540119.
Here is the decrypted superblock of UFS2 filesystem:

SPE
There are 3 SPE classes.
The HV call lv1_construct_logical_spe can create LogicalSPE, SPEType1 and SPEType2 objects.
The syscall 0x10040 creates only SPEType1 objects.
The SPEType1 and SPEType2 objects cannot be created when isolation mode is disabled. The right most bit of repository node sys.lv1.iso_enbl is checked and when it's not 1 then the SPEType1 and SPEType2 objects cannot be created. In LPAR 1, this check succeedes always. Only in LPARs different from 1, the repository node sys.lv1.iso_enbl is checked.
LogicalSPE
SPE type = 0
Objects of this class are used e.g. on Linux.
vtable
0x00358360 (3.15)
offset 0x20 - pointer to TOC entry of interrupt handler for SPE
Member variables

SPE Register Shadow Area
- HV createas a SPE Register Shadow Area for each contstructed SPE.
- The area is 1 4Kb page of physical memory.
- When SPE state changes then HV updates data in this area.
- The value of shadow_addr that is returned by lv1_construct_logical_spe is a LPAR start address of this area and it cannot be accessed until it's mapped in the HTAB.
- The SPE Register Shadow Area may be mapped only with read-only page protection or else HV call lv1_insert_htab_entry fails. I tested it with PSGroove and could map the whole memory range and read it after i constructed SPE of type 1 with lv1_construct_logical_spe.
- The shadow_addr is also returned by syscall_10040 (that creates SPE of type 1) but it returns already mapped Process address so HV Processes do not have to map it in HTAB.
- When an isoated SPU is done, HV Processes checks the value at offset 0x30 to determine if the SPU execution was successfull or not.
- GameOS checks also the value at offset 0x30 in the SPE Shadow Area.
- When GameOS creates SPE of type 1 then it maps only SPE Register Shadow Area into it's address space.
SPE Register Shadow Area Offsets
0x30 - SPU_Status register value (4 bytes)
0xF10 - ?
0xF18 - ?
Stop Code
- The high-order 16 bit of SPU_Status register value is a Stop Code.
Here is the list of Stop Codes i extracted from HV Processes which read the value at offset 0x30 when SPU is done:
Value | Description |
---|---|
0xA | Success |
0xC | Access Violation (LPAR auth id error) |
0xE | ? |
0xF | Revoked |

metldr
Loading metldr
- Physical/Virtual memory address of an isolation module that should be loaded by metldr is written into SPU register SPU_In_Mbox. The SPU register SPU_In_Mbox is 32bit, so 64bit memory address is written in 2 steps.
- MFC relocation is turned off by clearing R-bit in SPU register MFC_SR1. By doing this, HV enables real address mode for MFC of SPU.
- On GameOS, it also works with relocation on. You just have to initialize SLB of SPU and insert valid SLB entries.
- Physical/Virtual memory address of metldr is written to SPU registers Sig_Notify1 and Sig_Notify2
- Isolation load request is enabled by writing SPU register SPU_PrivCntl
- Isolation load request is made by writing value 0x3 into SPU register SPU_RunCntl

VUART
VUART is a bi-directional communication link. A VUART object has a peer VUART object.
Data written to a VUART object is stored NOT in the data buffer of the VUART object but in the data buffer of the peer VUART object.
VUART table
Every LPAR has a VUART table. A VUART table has 256 entries. Each entry is a pointer to a VUART object that implements VUART interface.
0x00677218 (3.15) - address of VUART table of LPAR 1
Here is the list of all VUART objects in LPAR 1 i found in HV 3.15:
- 0x006ABD90 - VUART 0
- 0x006ABEB0 - VUART 1
- 0x006A3CB0 - VUART 2
- 0x006A3DD0 - VUART 3
- 0x000A3410 - VUART 5
- 0x000A3250 - VUART 6
VUART [0-3] are used by /dev/sc[0-3] respectively.
VUART [0-3] are linked to VUART objects of different type i could not yet identify. These unknown VUART objects use eieio opcode a lot. So i think, they communicate with hardware peripheral.
A write/read to/from /dev/sc[0-3] is a write/read to/from VUART.
0x00762AA8 (3.15) - address of VUART table of LPAR 2
Here is the list of all VUART objects in LPAR 2 i found in HV 3.15:
- 0x00126660 - VUART 0
- 0x000A3010 - VUART 2
VUART 0 and VUART 2 of LPAR 2 are created by Process 9 during LPAR construction.

- GameOS file image lv2_kernel.self is stored on /dev/rflash1
- Linux file image is stored on /dev/rflash_1x or /dev/rflash_1xp
Booting Linux LPAR through System Manager
To boot Linux LPAR from GameOS when Linux support was not removed (Ability Mask of PS3 System Manager needs patching !!!):
- Send SID packet SET_NEXT_OP with operation OP_LPAR_REBOOT and the index of Linux system manager to System Manager (VUART 2)
- Send SID packet REQUEST with type SHUTDOWN to System Manager (VUART 2)
- Execute lv1_panic HV call in GameOS
It should also work when Linux support was removed but Linux system manager was not removed from Process 9 and also assumed that a Linux kernel image is stored at the right place in /dev/rflash_1x.
It's just a theory, nothing else, that i gathered during HV reversing. It needs a practical proof. Unfortunately, i don't have access to Hypervisor.
Booting modified and reencrypted lv2_kernel.self
- The System Manager of GameOS sends the path to lv2_kernel.self to SLL (Secure LPAR Loader) and SLL loads it from FLASH device file /dev/rflash1
- I stored a new lv2_kernel.self on FLASH directly by writing FLASH from GameOS. It't risky but if you know what you are doing then it's safe. I warned you guys. You could brick your PS3.
- Then i added a new TOC entry to FLASH device which points to the new lv2_kernel.self
- I patched the path to lv2_kernel.self in the System Manager of GameOS so it points to my new GameOS kernel (You need HV rights to do it)
- Then i rebooted GameOS without rebooting HV, so the patched file path should not change
- This method has the advantage that when the new lv2_kernel.self won't work you can just reboot HV and it will load the original lv2_kernel.self again
- lv2_kernel.self can be also loaded from GameOS dev_flash. For that, you have to change the path to lv2_kernel.self in default.spp from /flh/os/lv2_kernel.self to /local_sys0/lv2_kernel.self and store lv2_kernel.self on dev_flash.
AV Manager
All data sent to VUART 0 in LPAR 2 is written into the data buffer of VUART 5 of LPAR 1.
VUART 5 of LPAR 1 is accessed by Process 9 in LPAR 1 through the file /proc/partitions/2/vuart/0.
- During initialization, AV Manager opens /dev/ioif0 device and maps different address ranges of the device into address space of Process 9
- /dev/ioif0 is NOT opened and mapped if the value of repository node lv1.rsx.enable is less than 1
- /dev/ioif0 is mapped with READ/WRITE protection
- File descriptor of /dev/ioif0 in Process 9 is 4
- AV Manager supports a lot more commands than used on Linux
- Every command is implemented by a class
Mapped Address Ranges From /dev/ioif0
The base address of /dev/ioif0 is 0x28000000000. The device supports only mmap system call, it cannot be read or written. It also doesn't support ioctl.
Index | Absolute Address Range | Size | Mapped Address in Process 9 Address Space |

Process socket services
Function ID and Packet ID
- Processes 3, 5 and 6 provide services (functions) to other Processes through sockets (something like RPC).
- A service is identified by a function ID.
- Each process has a hash table which maps a function ID to socket port ID.
- Services (functions) can be further differentiated by a packet ID.
- To request a service, a Process sends a packet with specified function and packet ID to the Process that provides the service.
- A process that provides a service (function) has a table of objects which handle different packet IDs.
- Services are synchronous, a client sends a request and waits for a response.
- If a Process requests a service that is located in the same Process then the service is called directly and sockets are not used !!! (e.g. SLL requests from DM creating VUART port during GameOS loading, SLL and DM are in the same Process, so SLL calls DM directly)

- Update Manager service is accessed by GameOS syscall 863
0x6001 - Update Package Tophalf
- The result of the request can be checked by reading the value of repository node ss.update.request.<Request ID> periodically
0x6002 - Inspect Package Tophalf
- I have got access to this service through DM and tested it with PSGroove
- This service can tell you if a package can be installed or not, the service just checks a package but does not install it
- Packages can be updated without GameOS !!! I'm using only HV calls and communicate directly with Dispatcher Manager and Update Manager
- I just sent a whole SCE package to GameOS through network, created a LPAR memory region and stored the file there
- It expects a SCE package that can be easily extracted from PUP file
- The data of SCE package can be passed either in SS packet itself or through LPAR memory of requester
- When the data of SCE package is too large for SS packet (SS packets are sent through DM, GameOS and DM communicate through VUART that has only 0x800 bytes buffer) then the data of SCE package has to be passed through GameOS LPAR memory. The requester sends a vector of LPAR memory addresses where the data of SCE package is stored and Update Manager maps it into the address space of Process 6
- E.g. Revoke List packages can be sent in SS packets because they are small (about 0x200 bytes). All other packages are too big to sent them in SS packets
- The service is actually split into 2 halfs: Top-Half and Bottom-Half
- The Top-Half is executed synchronously with service request and it sends a reply to the requester
- In the reply sent by Top-Half a Request ID (8 bytes) is returned to the requester
- Request ID is calculated by using SHA-1
- After the Top-Half is done, a reply is sent to the requester but the service just checked some input parameter upto now and the passed SCE package was not really checked yet
- The Bottom-Half is called asynchronously to the request, it does the real job, it checks the passed SCE package.
- The result of the request can be checked by reading the value of repository node ss.inspect.request.<Request ID> periodically
- I successfully tested this service with RL_FOR_PROGRAM.img from 3.50 PUP file and the service returned Success, so theoretically i could install this package on my PS3. But of course i want to downgrade and NOT to upgrade.

Decrypting and Extracting Packages with spu_pkg_rvk_verifier.self
- I have managed to decrypt and extract Revoke List Packages 3.41 and 3.50 by using SPE HV calls and spu_pkg_rvk_verifier.self
- Important: Parameters to SPU module shuold be aligned, i used cache line alignment, don't know exactly alignment requerements. Or else some very strange things could happen. E.g SYSCON firmware was only partially decrypted when i used no cache line alignment.
- I have also managed to decrypt and extract Core OS Packages 1.10, 1.18 Debug, 2.40, 2.80, 3.15, 3.41 and 3.50 by using SPE HV calls and spu_pkg_rvk_verifier.self but it's compressed with zlib.Update Manager in Process 6 from 3.15 uses zlib 1.2.3 inflate to decompress it after it was decrypted and then it stores the data to flash memory.
- I decompressed the decrypted Core OS Packages with zlib.
- I am able now to decrypt and decompress all Core OS Packages
- The decrypted and decompressed package CORE_OS_PACKAGE.pkg looks exactly like it's stored on flash.
- I also decrypted BD Firmwares BDIT_FIRMWARE_PACKAGE.pkg and BDPT_FIRMWARE_PACKAGE.pkg successfully. The firmware is not compressed.
- I also decrypted Bluetooth Firmware BLUETOOTH_FIRMWARE.pkg successfully. The firmware is encrypted and compressed.
- I also managed to decrypt System Controller Firmware SYS_CON_FIRMWARE_01050101.pkg from 3.41.
- Core OS Package 3.50 contains a new isolated SPU module that is not contained in older versions. The SPU module is manu_info_spu_module.self.
- Here links to PS3 Firmwares: [1] and [2]

0x6005 - Extract Package Tophalf
- The result of the request can be checked by reading the value of repository node ss.extract.request.<Request ID> periodically
0x600B - Read EEPROM
- I have got read access to EEPROM of Update Manager through DM and tested it with PSGroove
- I read PRODUCT_MODE from it successfully, PRODUCT_MODE = 0x000000FF
- The service expects one additional parameter: offset (4 bytes)
- The service accepts only some predefined offsets
- The service returns the specified offset and the value at this offset
EEPROM Offset Table
Here is the table of EEPROM offsets that can be accessed through Update Manager (3.15):
Offset | Size | Description |
---|---|---|
0x48C06 | 1 | FSELF Control Flag |
0x48C07 | 1 | Product Mode (UM allows to read this offset, it can be also written but only when already in product mode) |
0x48C0A | 1 | QA Flag |
0x48C13 | 1 | Device Type |
0x48C42 | 1 | HDD Copy Mode |
0x48C50 | 0x10 | Debug Support Flag |
0x48C60 | 1 | Update Status |
0x48C61 | 1 | Recover Mode Flag |
0x48D3E | 0x50 | QA Token (UM doesn't allow access to this offset but SC Manager can read/write it) |
0x600C - Write EEPROM
- Writting to EEPROM of Update Manager is also possible through DM
- Tested this service successfully with QA flag
0x6010 - Check Integrity
- This service checks integrity of important files stored on /dev/rflash1, e.g. lv0 or lv1
- The service is used e.g. by System Manager
- When product mode is NOT 0xFF then check is skipped !!!
0x6011 - Get Applicable Version
- I have got access to this service through DM and PSGroove and tested it
- The service expects one additional unknown parameter of size 4 bytes, it has to be 0x00000001 or else the service fails
Here is the return value:
00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01
BD Firmware Update
- Update Manager in HV Process 6 updates BD firmware through ATAPI Interface of /dev/rbd0 device.
- BD firmware is sent to BD drive by using ATAPI Write Buffer (0x3B) command with Mode 0x07 (Download microcode with offsets and save) and Buffer ID 0x00.
- The current BD drive firmware version and hash is also stored by and retrieved from SYSCON by using SC Manager Get/Set Region Data (0x9006/0x9007) service. After successfull BD firmware update, Update Manager sends the new firmware version and hash to SYSCON.
- BD firmware package is decrypted, SCE header size + 0x80 bytes are skipped and data beginning with copyright message is sent to BD drive.
- BD firmware is sent packet wise, one packet is at most 0x8000 bytes.
- After each sent packet, Update Manager checks the result by using ATAPI Request Sense (0x3) command.
- Theoretically, BD firmware update can be done also from GameOS by using ATAPI interface of the BD drive.
Detecting BD Drive Type, Generation and Revision
- To detect BD drive type, Update Manager uses ATAPI Inquiry command.
- To detect BD drive generation, Update Manager uses ATAPI Mode Sense 10 command.

0x9000 - SC Manager
- SC Manager cannot be accessed directly by using DM unfortunately (DM discards all requests) but it's used by other services that are accessable through DM
- E.g. Update Manager services "Read EEPROM" and "Write EEPROM" send requests to SC Manager services "Read EEPROM" and "Write EEPROM"
- SC Manager runs sc_iso.self
- With full HV rights you could patch Dispatcher Manager and enable access to SC Manager from GameOS.

- SPP file is verified and decrypted by SPU module spp_verifier.self that cab be executed with HV SPE calls
- Even old default.spp from PS3 Firmware 1.10 can be decrypted with spp_verifier.self from PS3 Firmware 3.41
- Header format version should be 5 or else the header check fails
- If (SPP header size % 256 != 0) then header check fails
- Finally i was able to decrypt profile file from 3.41 but by using SPE HV calls only !!! And Linux Manager is still there !!!
- The decrypted file is a binary file
Here are the contents of DEFAULT.SPP from 3.41.
Here are the contents of DEFAULT.SPP 1.18 Debug from 1.18 Debug Firmware.

0x18000 - DM (Dispatcher Manager)
- Dispatcher Manager runs in Process 3.
- When SLL (Secure LPAR Loader) creates GamesOS LPAR and loads it, it also creates a VUART with port number 10 owned by GameOS using a service provided by Dispatcher Manager (0x18001 - Construct Service Port).
- Dispatcher Manager communicates with GameOS through this VUART. It opens the file /proc/partitions/<LPAR id>/vuart/10. When the file /proc/partitions/<LPAR id>/vuart/10 is opened by Dispatcher Manager, the Hypervisor creates a peer VUART which is connected to the GameOS's VUART 10.
- After that Dispatcher Manager reads requests from this VUART sent by GameOS and dispatches these requests to services (functions) provided by Hypervisor Processes through sockets. Through VUART and Dispatcher Manager, the GameOS LPAR has access to all services provided by Hypervisor Processes.
- However, the services provided by Hypervisor Processes are protected by Security Policy Manager (SPM). Before Dispatcher Manager routes the requests from GameOS to these services, it consults SPM (by using 0x11001 service of SPM) and checks if the GameOS has access rights to the requested service. If not then the request is not routed.
- DM overwrites the LAID sent in SS packet header with the LAID of the LPAR that sent the request. So, no matter what LAID you send in SS packet header, it will be always overwritten with the correct one by DM. That is the reason why e.g. USB Dongle Master Key cannot be decrypted by GameOS without patching DM. But with HV access rights, DM can be easily patched and access to SYSCON can be gained.
- Linux LPAR doesn't have a VUART communication link to Dispatcher Manager.
- I tested VUART 10 on GameOS with PSGroove and it's there.
- On GamesOS, _ss_multiplexer accesses DM (VUART 10)

Dispatcher Manager Header
- Payload follows after header
- Payload is a SS packet
struct dispmgr_header { uint32_t request_id; uint32_t function_id; uint32_t request_size; /* payload size of request */ uint32_t response_size; /* payload size of response */ }
Packet ID - SS ID Mapping
- Before DM routes a received request to a service provider (HV Process) it consults SPM
- DM sends a request to SPM
- Request contains SS ID and Subject ID (laid and paid)
- DM obtains SS ID by mapping Packet ID
Here is the mapping table i extracted from HV Process 3 where SPM and DM run:

0x24000 - USB Dongle Authenticator
Packet ID | Description |
---|---|
0x24001 | Generate Challenge |
0x24002 | Verify Response |
0x24001 - Generate Challenge
- I have got access to this service through DM and tested it
- The service expects no input parameters except those in SS packet header
- It uses 0x5003 service (Generate Random Number) to generate random numbers that are used in challenge body
- The length of a challnge body is always 23 bytes, first 3 bytes are always the same: 0x2E 0x02 0x01
Here are hexdumps of some challenge bodies i let 0x24001 service generate:
2E 02 01 72 3A 0A 76 BB 81 CB 29 BC E7 B5 D6 62 7C 0E EE 23 18 A9 1D
2E 02 01 F0 DA 78 D4 1D CB D7 C9 C7 F0 32 F4 2E 92 39 BD 3F 32 93 AA
2E 02 01 3B B2 9D FD A8 83 AF 9A C0 E9 13 BB AE D5 6C 8C 45 2E DE 13
0x24002 - Verify Response
- I have got access to this service and tested it with PSGroove
- The response body is 25 bytes large
- The first 3 bytes have to be 0x2E 0x02 0x02 or else the check fails
- The 16 bit at offset 3 is a dongle ID
- The dongle ID is checked if it's revoked or not
- When the verification succeedes then product mode is set to 1
- The service calculates USB Dongle Key from USB Dongle ID and USB Dongle Master Key by using HMAC SHA-1
- The service uses HMAC SHA-1 to calculate the correct response body from the challenge body and USB Dongle Key
- After that the service compares the calculated response body with the given one that was sent to the service
- It seems that laid and paid from SS packet header are used in decryption process
USB Dongle Master Key
- USB Dongle Master Key is stored encrypted in Process 6
- The encrypted key is 64 bytes large
- The decrypted key is 20 bytes large
- The USB Dongle Master Key is decrypted first time the service 0x24002 is used
- The USB Dongle Master Key is decrypted by using the service 0x200E (Decrypt Master) of Vitual TRM Manager
- The decrypted USB Dongle Master Key is stored in Process 6 in clear text (after first usage of this service)
- When decryption of USB Dongle Master Key fails then a dummy key is used
- Unfortunately, in the HV dump 3.15 the USB Dongle Master Key was not decrypted at the moment of dumping
- The first 12 bytes of decrypted USB Dongle Master Key is a magic value: _USB_DONGLE_. After these 12 bytes follows the real USB Dongle Master Key of size 20 bytes. So, if after decryption of USB Dongle Master Key, you see this magic value then the decryption was successfull.
Here is the encrypted USB Dongle Master Key from HV 3.15:
0x22 0xD5 0xD1 0x8C 0xFF 0xE2 0x4F 0xAC 0xEC 0x72 0xA2 0x42 0xA7 0x18 0x98 0x10 0x25 0x33 0xE0 0x96 0xF2 0xC1 0x91 0x0D 0x15 0x23 0xD3 0x07 0x74 0xE7 0x2B 0x72 0xDF 0xA6 0xDD 0xE9 0x68 0x8B 0x76 0x2A 0x6A 0x87 0x51 0x7F 0x85 0x39 0x0B 0xD4 0x20 0x3F 0x46 0x89 0x04 0x82 0xB7 0x30 0x84 0x89 0x4B 0xCC 0x9D 0xB1 0x24 0x7C
This is the decrypted dongle master key:
0x46 0xDC 0xEA 0xD3 0x17 0xFE 0x45 0xD8 0x09 0x23 0xEB 0x97 0xE4 0x95 0x64 0x10 0xD4 0xCD 0xB2 0xC2
This is the decrypted dongle key for dongle ID 0xAAAA which works up to 3.55:
0x04 0x4E 0x61 0x1B 0xA6 0xA6 0xE3 0x9A 0x98 0xCF 0x35 0x81 0x2C 0x80 0x68 0xC7 0xFC 0x5F 0x7A 0xE8
Here is the USB Dongle Master Dummy Key from HV 3.15:
0xD1 0xFC 0x57 0x55 0xBF 0x20 0xFA 0xB2 0xD4 0xA5 0x4A 0x0A 0x0C 0x5D 0x52 0x8E 0xDF 0x66 0xCD 0x74
USB Dongle ID Revoke List
- Process 6 contains a revoke list for USB Dongle IDs
- The revoke list is 0x2000 bytes large. It's a bitmap.
- Each bit represents a USB Dongle ID. If bit is 0 then USB Dongle ID is revoked.
The following USB Dongle IDs are revoked in HV 3.15:
0, 2, 13, 32, 34, 176, 241
0x25000 - User Token Manager
Packet ID | Description |
---|---|
0x25001 | Encrypt User Token |
0x25002 | Decrypt User Token |
User Token
- Before User Token Manager encrypts a received user token it checks it's format.
- User Tokens are processed by spu_utoken_processor.self
- Before User Token is processed, User Token Manager reads IDPS by sending SS requests to Indi Info Manager (packet ids 0x17001 and 0x17002). Indi Info Manager runs in HV Process 5.
User Token Format
stuct user_token_attr { uint32_t type; /* 0x00000001, value != 0x00000001 means attribute list ends here */ uint32_t size; /* 8 + sizeof(data) */ /* data follows here, size of data may be 0 */ } struct user_token { uint32_t magic; /* 0x73757400 = "sut\0" */ uint32_t format_version; /* 0x00000001 */ uint64_t size; uint8_t idps[16]; uint64_t expire_date; uint64_t capability; union { stuct user_token_attr attrs[0]; uint8_t dummy[3072]; } attrs; /* 0xC30 */ uint8_t digest[20]; }
LPAR Memory Management
Memory Region class
This class is the base class for different memory region types.
vtable
0x003578B0 (3.15)
Member variables
offset 0x40 - pointer to LPAR object that owns this memory region
offset 0x48 - type of memory region (8 bytes)
offset 0x50 - LPAR start address of memory region
offset 0x58 - size of memory region (8 bytes)
offset 0x60 - flags (8 bytes)
offset 0xA0 - log2 of page size
Generating New LPAR Memory Region Addresses
generate_new_lpar_mem_region_address(?, memory region size, log2(page size), ?, ?) - 002C82E8 (3.15)
generate_new_lpar_mem_region_address - 002C6570 (3.41)
- The function returns a new LPAR memory region address.
- This method is used e.g. in all HV calls which create any kind of memory regions, e.g. lv1_allocate_memory, lv1_map_htab, lv1_undocumented_function_114, lv1_construct_logical_spe, lv1_map_device_mmio_region or syscall 0x10040.
Encoding LPAR Memory Region Start Addresses and Sizes
- Size of LPAR memory region is encoded in the LPAR memory region start address.
- That is why e.g. the LPAR Memory Region Start Addresses of LPAR Memory Region of size 4096 byte begin with 0x300000000000, 0x300000000000 >> 42 = 0xC = log2(4096).
- Each LPAR has a counter (8 bytes) which is incremented by 1 every time a new LPAR Memory Region is created.
- Before incrementing, the counter is shifted left by log2(LPAR Memory Region Size) and ored with log2(LPAR Memory Region Size) << 42.
LPAR Memory Region Start Address >> 42 = log2(LPAR Memory Region Size)
LPAR Memory Region Start Address = (log2(LPAR Memory Region Size) << 42) | (counter << log2(LPAR Memory Region Size))
LPAR Memory Region Address Counter
- LPAR Memory Region Address Counter is stored at address: 0x38(LPAR ptr) + 0x9E8
- LPAR1's Memory Region Address Counter is at address 0x00677A48 in HV dump 3.15
- LPAR2's Memory Region Address Counter is at address 0x007632D8 in HV dump 3.15
- LPAR1's Memory Region Address Counter is at address 0x00677A48 in HV dump 3.41
- LPAR2's Memory Region Address Counter is at address 0x00161E68 in HV dump 3.41
Physical Memory Region class
This type of memory region is created e.g. in lv1_allocate_memory HV call or in syscall 0x10000.
vtable
0x00357D08 (3.15)
Member variables
offset 0xB0 - pointer to object that stores a list of addresses of physical pages owned by this memory region
offset 0xB8 - pointer to LPAR object that owns this memory region
offset 0xC0 - reference counter (8 bytes)
Objects
Here is the list of physical memory region objects i found in HV 3.15.

So, Linux kernel should be located at physical address 0x8000000 and Linux syscall handler at 0x8000C00. Too bad that the HV dump is not large enough.
GameOS Physical Memory Regions
- GameOS allocates nearly all physical memory of PS3 for itself !!! That is why new HV calls lv1_allocate_memory with large memory region sizes will fail.
- So when someone wants a large piece of physical memory, he can borrow it from GameOS's LPAR memory region that starts at 0x700020000000. It can be used for example to send update packages to Update Manager which are very large.
Here is the list of physical memory regions of GameOS i found in HV 3.41:
Start Address | Size | Access Right | Max Page Size | Flags | Real Addresses |

GameOS HTAB
- HTAB of GameOS is already mapped into address space of GameOS so that is why HV call lv1_map_htab will fail until you unmap it with lv1_unmap_htab
- Effective address of GameOS HTAB is 0x800000000F000000
- Virtual address of GameOS HTAB is 0xF000000
- Size of GameOS HTAB is 0x40000
- GameOS HTAB supports large pages of size 64K and 1M
- GameOS HTAB can be easily dumped by reading 0x40000 bytes at EA 0x800000000F000000

Direct Map Memory Region class
This type of memory region is created in HV call lv1_undocumented_function_114. lv1_undocumented_function_114 allows you to map any memory address into LPAR's memory address.
- The HV call lv1_undocumented_function_115 destroys a memory region of this type.
- HV allows GameOS to create objects of this type of size 0 only !!! But it can be exploited with a dangling HTAB entry.

Exploiting HV with memory glitching and HV call lv1_undocumented_function_114
Here is a short description of the method i used to exploit HV from GameOS 3.15 and 3.41.
- First i used the Geohot's method to create a dangling HTAB entry.
- Making memory glitch work on GameOS was the largest of my obstacles but i solved it and i'm able to create a dangling HTAB entry from GameOS within 1-3 minutes.
- Then i created many Direct Map Memory Region objects of size 0 with HV call lv1_undocumented_function_114 and checked if they are within the page to which the dangling HTAB entry points to.
- When i found one such Direct Map Memory Region object i patched the size of this object to 0x1000. Then i pointed this memory region object to the code of HV call lv1_undocumented_function_114 and patched 4 bytes in this HV call which allows me to create any Direct Map Memory Region objects without any restrictions.
- Function LPAR_construct_direct_mapping_mem_region which is used by HV call lv1_undocumented_function_114 has a parameter (register %r9) and when this parameter is not 0 then HV will allow you to create any Direct Map Memory Region objects without restrictions, but unfortunately the HV call lv1_undocumented_function_114 passes 0 in this parameter, so i just patched it.
- Then i mapped whole HV memory range with the patched HV call lv1_undocumented_function_114 into the address space of GameOS.
- And now you have read/write access to the whole HV.
- $ONY could fix this exploit by disallowing creating of Direct Map Memory Region objects of size 0, but i know tons of other HV C++ classes which will allow me to exploit the HV in a similar way, so it wouldn't bring $ONY anything :-) And they have to change member variable offsets in those objects to make sure that i cannot patch them easily :-)

Event Notification
- Event Notfication is used e.g. to notify a LPAR about some event, e.g. device interrupt or notify a LPAR about destruction of another LPAR.
- For example Process 9 is notified through Event Notification when LPAR 2 is destructed.
- During LPAR construction, Process 9 creates an Outlet object with syscall 0x1001A and then passes the outlet ID to the syscall 0x10009 that constructs the LINUX LPAR. In this way Process 9 is notified when LINUX LPAR is destructed.
Outlet class
This is the base Outlet class. There are different types of Outlet and they derive from this base class.
vtable
0x00357DC0 (3.15)
Member variables
offset 0x30 - type (8 bytes)
offset 0x38 - pointer to LPAR that owns this Outlet object
offset 0x48 - outlet id (8 bytes)
offset 0x90 - VIRQ assigned to this Outlet object (4 bytes)
Event Receive Port class
- This type of Outlet is created e.g. in lv1_construct_event_receive_port and in syscall 0x1001A.
- HV calls lv1_connect_irq_plug and lv1_connect_irq_plug_ext assigns a VIRQ to Event Receive Port object.
vtable
0x00357E88
VUART Outlet
- HV supports only one VUART Outlet per LPAR
- lv1_configure_virtual_uart_irq constructs a VUART Outlet object and passes the address of LPAR's VUART IRQ Bitmap to HV
vtable
0x00357DC0
VUART IRQ Bitmap
- At address 0x38(LPAR ptr) + 0x158 is the VUART IRQ Bitmap owned by HV for LPAR (4 * 8 bytes = 256 bits)
- At address 0x38(LPAR ptr) + 0x150 is stored the physical address of LPAR's VUART IRQ Bitmap that was passed to lv1_configure_virtual_uart_irq
- When a VUART interrupt is generated by HV then first the VUART IRQ Bitmap owned by HV is updated and then this bitmap is copied to LPAR's VUART IRQ Bitmap, so VUART IRQ Bitmap is stored twice, once in HV and once in LPAR, just like IRQ State Bitmap.
- VUART IRQ Bitmap is not allowed to cross page boundary of LPAR memory region where it is stored. HV checks it and makes sure that it doesn't happen.
- GameOS 3.41 VUART IRQ bitmap is at address 0x80000000003556E8 and of size 32 bytes (256 bits, each bit corresponds to a VUART port).
- GameOS 3.15 VUART IRQ bitmap is at address 0x8000000000354768.
Logical PPE
- Logical PPE is used for interrupt management of LPAR.
- A Logical PPE object is created in syscall 0x10005. It' used e.g. in Process 9 during LPAR construction.
- syscall 0x10007 activates a Logical PPE object
- 0x67F0(HSPRG0) - pointer to currently active Logical PPE object (in HV dump it points to Linux PPE object naturally because the dump was made on Linux, so Linux LPAR was active at that time)
- E.g. lv1_get_logical_ppe_id, lv1_start_ppe_periodic_tracer and lv1_set_ppe_periodic_tracer_frequency grab the currently active Logical PPE object

IRQ State Bitmap
- There is one IRQ State Bitmap (256 bits = 32 bytes) per thread of Logical PPE
- HSPRG0 value is per thread, so there are 2 HSPRG0 values in HV dump !!!
- The IRQ State Bitmap of a thread is stored at -0x68E0(HSPRG0)
- When an Event or Interrupt happens then the bitmap at 0x68E0(HSPRG0) is updated
- The physical address of LPAR's IRQ State Bitmap of thread is stored at offset -0x68C0(HSPRG0)
- The address of LPAR's IRQ State Bitmap is passed to Hypervisor through HV call lv1_configure_irq_state_bitmap
- lv1_detect_pending_interrupts returns value of current IRQ State Bitmap.
- The IRQ State Bitmap is updated if an Outlet object is assigned to VIRQ and when Outlet generates an event
- After IRQ State Bitmap update, it's copied to LPAR's IRQ State Bitmap and a hardware interrupt is generated so that LPAR can read it's IRQ State Bitmap and handle interrupts.
- So, IRQ State Bitmap is stored twice, once in HV and once in LPAR, just like VUART IRQ Bitmap.
- GameOS IRQ state bitmap is stored at address SPRG0 + 0x1C0 and of size 64 bytes (256 bits state + 256 bits mask) per thread of Cell CPU. So there are 2 IRQ state bitmaps.
0x8941FC0 - physical address of LPAR's IRQ State Bitmap for Thread 0 of LINUX LPAR
0x8948FC0 - physical address of LPAR's IRQ State Bitmap for Thread 1 of LINUX LPAR
System Controller (SC or SYSCON)
- Data received from SC is sent to a VUART
- lv1_get_rtc and syscall 0x10036 communicate with SC VUART 4.
VUART Table
- Address of SC VUART Table - 0x00610410 (3.15).
- There are 5 VUARTs for SC in HV 3.15
Here is the SC VUART table from HV 3.15:
Index | Address of VUART object in HV dump | Description |
---|---|---|
0 | 0x0060FD20 | This VUART is connected with the VUART 0 (/dev/sc0) of LPAR 1 |
1 | 0x0060FE20 | This VUART is connected with the VUART 1 (/dev/sc1) of LPAR 1 |
2 | 0x0060FF20 | This VUART is not connected to some peer VUART but i guess that it should be connected to VUART 2 (/dev/sc2) of LPAR1 |
3 | 0x006124E0 | This VUART is connected with the VUART 3 (/dev/sc3) of LPAR 1 |
4 | 0x00612DF0 | lv1_get_rtc and syscall 0x10036 communicate with this VUART. |
Interrupt Handling
spider_sc_interrupt_handler - 0x0020A68C (3.15)
Methods
sc_vuart_4_get_peer_vuart - 0x002ED384 (3.15)
sc_send - 0x0020A908 (3.15)
lv1_get_rtc
- lv1_get_rtc communicates with SC VUART 4.
- 20 bytes are written to the peer VUART of SC VUART 4.
- After a request is sent to SC VUART 4, lv1_get_rtc busy waits until SC VUART 4 receive data buffer is not empty.
- When SC VUART 4 receive data buffer is not empty, lv1_get_rtc reads 24 bytes from the VUART.
