Non-Secure Kernel Boot Loader (NSKBL) is a Non-Secure world program that performs eMMC setup, base kernel modules loading, etc. during PSVita boot.
The Non-Secure Kernel Boot Loader (NSKBL) is the first program that runs on ARM cores in Non-Secure state. As its name indicate, it has the role of initializing the Non-Secure state environment and loading the kernel from storage.

== Module ==


The NSKBL contains an embedded and likely stripped version of [[SceSysmem]], [[SceKernelModulemgr]], [[SceSblSmschedProxy]], [[SceExcpmgr]], [[SceKernelIntrMgr]], [[SceSblAuthMgr]], [[SceProcessmgr]] (maybe), [[SceSdif]], [[SceIofilemgr]] (Simple version?), and some other core drivers.
NSKBL is made of stripped down versions of some Non-Secure kernel modules along with code using all these functions to prepare the non-secure environment and load the next stage.
 
Reduced versions of the following modules are embedded in NSKBL:
* [[SceSysmem]]
* [[SceKernelModulemgr]]
* [[SceExcpmgr]]
* [[SceKernelIntrMgr]]
* [[SceSblAuthMgr]]
* [[SceSblSmschedProxy]]
* [[SceLowio]] (only parts of the Pervasive submodule)
* [[SceSdif]]
** <code>iofilemgr_if</code> serves as a thin wrapper around [[SceSdif]] for compatibility
*** Only <code>sceIoOpen</code>, <code>sceIoLseek</code>, <code>sceIoRead</code> and <code>sceIoClose</code> are provided
*** This is just a '''wrapper'''. [[SceIofilemgr]] is '''not''' included in NSKBL!
 
It is very likely that the embedded modules in NSKBL are built from the same source tree as the Non-Secure kernel modules.
This can be inferred from debugging information contained in some modules (line numbers in NSKBL and module equivalent match).

This section aims to provide an overview of the tasks performed by NSKBL. This description is based on System Software version 3.50 and later. Older versions may behave differently. See also [[NSKBL Subroutines]].
=== Reset ===
The NSKBL reset vector, located at <code>0x51000000</code>, is the first instruction executed in Non-Secure state, with the MMU turned off.
It jumps to a small ASM function that disables interrupts (<code>cpsid if</code>), clears exclusive access requests (<code>clrex</code>), invalidates all caches, sets up stacks for all processors modes, and calls <code>boot</code>.
=== <code>boot</code> ===
This function is responsible for turning on the MMU. It partially initializes the <code>SceKernelBootParam</code>, copies the [[KBL Param]] from <code>0x40200100</code> (where it was placed by [[SKBL]]) and prints the <code>Starting PSP2 Kernel Boot Loader (Non-secure)</code> message.
The <code>SceKernelBootParam</code> initialization includes allocating physical and virtual pages for things like page tables, TTBR, fixed heaps, Sysroot, PhyPageTable, etc. The virtual address for the smaller mappings is randomized in the first 1 MiB of the address space (255 page-sized slots - first slot is reserved for NULL page), while larger allocations are randomized in the first 16 MiB (15 section-sized slots - slot 0 is reserved for the small ASLR mappings). A few mappings are exempted from randomization, like the identity mapping of <code>0x51000000</code>-<code>0x51FFFFFF</code> where NSKBL resides. This memory range is mapped as RWX and seems to be the only RWX mapping in the Non-Secure kernel.
After all these mappings are complete, the MMU is turned on along with caches, branch predictor, and a few other things via the <code>SCTLR</code>. At this point, <code>boot</code> is done and <code>sceKblMain</code> is called.
=== <code>sceKblMain</code> ===
This function runs with the MMU enabled and receives a partially filled-in <code>SceKernelBootParam</code> from <code>boot()</code>.
This function begins with a call to <code>sceKernelSysrootStart</code> which initializes the Sysroot structure. The slack space after the structure in the <code>SceSysroot</code> mapping (which is 16KiB-sized) is turned into a "heap" as part of this process. Memory allocation needs are serviced from this space using <code>sceKernelSysrootAlloc</code>. At this point, there are no other kernel heaps available. Sysroot status is set to 1 by this function.
After the Sysroot is initialized, <code>sceKernelSysmemStart</code> is called, which initializes the embedded [[SceSysmem]] module. It is at this stage that all the Sysmem object classes are created. Sysroot status is set to 2 then 3 by this function. Kernel heaps are available after the Sysroot status is set to 3 i.e. when this function returns.
Now that Sysmem is initialized, 16-KiB-sized <code>SceKernelBootStackCoreX</code> memory blocks are allocated, and execution is transfered to <code>main2</code> after switching the stack pointer to these memblocks. Up until now, the stack it used was located in NSKBL <code>.bss</code> section.
=== <code>main2</code> ===
The <code>main2</code> function receives a filled-up <code>SceKernelBootParam</code> from <code>sceKblMain()</code>.
After setting the Sysroot status to 4, the remaining embedded modules are started (in order: <code>sceKernelModulemgrStart()</code>, [[SceExcpmgr]] start, <code>sceKernelIntrMgrStart</code>, <code>sceSblAuthMgrStart()</code> and [[SceSblSmschedProxy]] start). Once the embedded modules are started, Sysroot status is set to 0x10 and the final NSKBL function is called.
=== Final function ===
The final function receives the same <code>SceKernelBootParam</code> as <code>main2</code>.
It first calls [[NSKBL#sceSdStandaloneInitForKernel|sceSdStandaloneInit]] then loads and caches the <code>gcauthmgr</code>, <code>rmauth</code> and <code>encdec_w_portability</code> security modules.
After this, it loads [[ScePsp2BootConfig|<code>os0:kd/psp2bootconfig.skprx</code>]], links the [[NSKBL#SceKblForKernel|SceKblForKernel library]] to the module, and starts it with <code>SceKernelBootParam</code> address as <code>argp</code>.
NSKBL has now handed over control and simply remains resident until it is unmapped by [[SceSysStateMgr]]. See also [[SceKernelModulemgr#sceKernelFinalizeKblForKernel]].

The Non-Secure Kernel Boot Loader (NSKBL) is the first program that runs on ARM cores in Non-Secure state. As its name indicate, it has the role of initializing the Non-Secure state environment and loading the kernel from storage.

Module

NSKBL is made of stripped down versions of some Non-Secure kernel modules along with code using all these functions to prepare the non-secure environment and load the next stage.

Reduced versions of the following modules are embedded in NSKBL:

It is very likely that the embedded modules in NSKBL are built from the same source tree as the Non-Secure kernel modules. This can be inferred from debugging information contained in some modules (line numbers in NSKBL and module equivalent match).

Notes

How to debug NSKBL

NSKBL supports sd0: for debugging. pKblParam->boot_type_indicator_1 = 0x40000 is required.

sceIoOpen(?) error code 0x803FF007

This error can occur if the file is fragmented.

NSKBL walk through

This section aims to provide an overview of the tasks performed by NSKBL. This description is based on System Software version 3.50 and later. Older versions may behave differently. See also NSKBL Subroutines.

Reset

The NSKBL reset vector, located at 0x51000000, is the first instruction executed in Non-Secure state, with the MMU turned off. It jumps to a small ASM function that disables interrupts (cpsid if), clears exclusive access requests (clrex), invalidates all caches, sets up stacks for all processors modes, and calls boot.

boot

This function is responsible for turning on the MMU. It partially initializes the SceKernelBootParam, copies the KBL Param from 0x40200100 (where it was placed by SKBL) and prints the Starting PSP2 Kernel Boot Loader (Non-secure) message.

The SceKernelBootParam initialization includes allocating physical and virtual pages for things like page tables, TTBR, fixed heaps, Sysroot, PhyPageTable, etc. The virtual address for the smaller mappings is randomized in the first 1 MiB of the address space (255 page-sized slots - first slot is reserved for NULL page), while larger allocations are randomized in the first 16 MiB (15 section-sized slots - slot 0 is reserved for the small ASLR mappings). A few mappings are exempted from randomization, like the identity mapping of 0x51000000-0x51FFFFFF where NSKBL resides. This memory range is mapped as RWX and seems to be the only RWX mapping in the Non-Secure kernel.

After all these mappings are complete, the MMU is turned on along with caches, branch predictor, and a few other things via the SCTLR. At this point, boot is done and sceKblMain is called.

sceKblMain

This function runs with the MMU enabled and receives a partially filled-in SceKernelBootParam from boot().

This function begins with a call to sceKernelSysrootStart which initializes the Sysroot structure. The slack space after the structure in the SceSysroot mapping (which is 16KiB-sized) is turned into a "heap" as part of this process. Memory allocation needs are serviced from this space using sceKernelSysrootAlloc. At this point, there are no other kernel heaps available. Sysroot status is set to 1 by this function.

After the Sysroot is initialized, sceKernelSysmemStart is called, which initializes the embedded SceSysmem module. It is at this stage that all the Sysmem object classes are created. Sysroot status is set to 2 then 3 by this function. Kernel heaps are available after the Sysroot status is set to 3 i.e. when this function returns.

Now that Sysmem is initialized, 16-KiB-sized SceKernelBootStackCoreX memory blocks are allocated, and execution is transfered to main2 after switching the stack pointer to these memblocks. Up until now, the stack it used was located in NSKBL .bss section.

main2

The main2 function receives a filled-up SceKernelBootParam from sceKblMain().

After setting the Sysroot status to 4, the remaining embedded modules are started (in order: sceKernelModulemgrStart(), SceExcpmgr start, sceKernelIntrMgrStart, sceSblAuthMgrStart() and SceSblSmschedProxy start). Once the embedded modules are started, Sysroot status is set to 0x10 and the final NSKBL function is called.

Final function

The final function receives the same SceKernelBootParam as main2.

It first calls sceSdStandaloneInit then loads and caches the gcauthmgr, rmauth and encdec_w_portability security modules.

After this, it loads os0:kd/psp2bootconfig.skprx, links the SceKblForKernel library to the module, and starts it with SceKernelBootParam address as argp.

NSKBL has now handed over control and simply remains resident until it is unmapped by SceSysStateMgr. See also SceKernelModulemgr#sceKernelFinalizeKblForKernel.
