When calling `programCounterHandler`, instead of relying on the presence
of the `root` function, which might be absent, use a guaranteed
reference to the module.
Move member declaration to the top of the class definition of
`GeneratedCodeBasicInfo` and initialize primitive members.
Merge the `run` method into the constructor since all uses have them
happening close to each other.
This commit drops libptc in favor of its new form libtcg.
It brings several improvements, among which:
* The QEMU version we work on has been upgraded.
* CPUStateAccessAnalysis has been reimplemented in a way that makes it
easier to debug and solves some limitations (e.g., tracking leaking
pointers).
* Identification of pieces of the CPU state that are read by each helper
and fixing access to the CPU state is now performed at build-time.
* We no longer mmap the code we need to translate, dropping all the
issues related to code that needed to be mapped where something is
already present.
* We now have two distinct flavors of helper modules: the full one and
the "slim" one. The latter contains the definition only of functions
we intend to inline. It is used in most of the pipeline, a good thing
since we spend less time optimizing code we don't really care about.
The full module is only used on the re-compilation branch of the
pipeline.
* We no longer split the `cpu_loop` function.
* We change MetaAddress to rely on architectures from `model::` as
opposed to the LLVM ones.
* We no longer attach debug info to LLVM IR containing the original
assembly.
* We now verify that the lifted code only contains code we expect.
* Make the following private headers public:
* Lift/CPUStateAccessAnalysisPass.h
* Lift/CSVOffsets.h
* Lift/PTCDump.h
* Lift/VariableManager.h
* Move from revngSupport to revngLift:
* IRAnnotators.{h,cpp}
* SelfReferencingDbgAnnotationWriter.{h,cpp}
* Move from revngSupport to revngModel:
* FunctionTags.{h,cpp}
* ProgramCounterHandler.{h,cpp}
* Move from revngSupport to revngRecompile:
* OriginalAssemblyAnnotationWriter.{h,cpp}
getJumpTargetBlock takes llvm::BasicBlock * as argument, but doesn't
need to modify it, so const it adds const to it and other functions that
are used by getJumpTargetBlock: findJumpTarget, isTranslated, getType,
isJumpTarget.
`ValueMaterializer` is a rewrite of what was called `AdvancedValueInfo`
which follows the same principles.
The main benefits over the old version is:
* We materialize the data-flow graph and the CFG of the relevant part of
root. This makes debugging significantly easier.
* We drop the old MonotoneFramework infrastructure in favor of
getMaximalFixedPoint.
* We significantly reduce the amount of queries we make to
AdvancedValueInfo.
This commit introduces `BasicBlockID` as the unique identifier for a
`efa::BasicBlock` into the CFG. A `BasicBlockID` is defined by a
`MetaAddress` plus an incremental integer. This enables us to have
multiple instances of the same block in a single function, which is
particularly useful when inlining multiple times the same function.
Apart from this, the commit also does the following:
* It drops representing `MetaAddress`es a `structs` in the IR. This created
several issues related to ABI. We now represent them as strings.
* It defines more functions in `support.h`, instead of defining prototypes
by hand in `CodeGenerator.cpp` and the like. Specifically, `unknownPC`
and `raise_exception_helper`. We also introduce a C "constructor" for
`PlainMetaAddress`.
* It significantly reduces the API of `GeneratedCodeBasicInfo`, which
was supposed to be put on a diet since a long time. Specifically,
many jump target related methods have been moved to free functions in
`IRHelpers.h`. Also `GCBI::getSuccessors` has been pushed into its
only user, `PruneRetSuccessors`, to prevent further usage of a
deprecated API. In the future, it would be nice to drop it entirely.
* It introduces `efa::BasicBlock::InlinedFrom`.
* Introduce an enum to represent named argument indices for `newpc`.
This enables us to more effectively manipulate its argument list.
* It improves the verification and error reporting for
`efa::FunctionMetadata`.
* Update tests.
This commit is preliminary to another piece of work to improve the
generality of inlining beyond the simple "fake function" scenario, for
which the feature was originally conceived.
This is a big step to split revng-lift in two parts: one that only
writes the model and one that actually lifts to LLVM IR.
* Introduce `revng import binary`
* Split off `BinaryFile.h`
* Drop `revng.h`
* `GeneratedCodeBasicInfo`: use model
* Reduce role of `GeneratedCodeBasicInfo` in favor of
`model::Architecture` and `model::Register` methods
* `CodeGenerator`: adopt `RawBinaryView` and model
* `JumpTargetManager`: adopt `RawBinaryView` and model
* `ExternalJumpsHandler`: adopt model
* `InstructionTranslator`: discard `Architecture` in favor of
`EndianessMismatch`
* Many other changes
This commit makes sure that GeneratedCodeBasicInfo can be used even in
absence of the `root`.
This also ensure that no time is wasted on brief/focused pipelines that
do not care about analyzing each basic block in the `root` function.
