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.
FunctionTags goal is to solve the long-standing problem of identifying
what type of function are we dealing with. Is it a lifted function? An
helper?
Now we have a sane way to determine this using Metadata and a proper
API.
Generated code now either jumps to `anypc` or `unexpectedpc`. The latter
one is to be considered a safety measure and will be populated with an
unreachable instruction on the decompilation pipeline.
Changes include:
- `getFunctionCall` has been moved in IRHelpers.h
- `getFallthrough` and `getFunctionCallCallee`
have been simplified and added in IRHelpers.h (their old versions
have been removed respectively from FCI.h and revng.h)
- `FCI::getCall` and `FCI::isCall` have been removed
due to redundancy with `getFunctionCall`.
This commit introduces the PruneRetSuccessors pass, whose role is to
identify all the indirect jumps whose devirtualized destinations
correspond to return addresses. In fact, they are most likely to be
return instructions and devirtualizing them is always detrimental.
Unlike the previous iteration of `MetaAddress`, which tried to stuff all
the parts of `MetaAddress` within the existing `PC` CSV, this
implementation adds a set of new CSVs (or marks some existing ones as) to
represent the four portions of the current PC's `MetaAddress`.
* Introduce `ProgramCounterHandler`: a class responsible to maintain the
PC-related CSVs. This class is also used to manipulate the new
dispatcher.
* `AdvancedValueInfo`: update for new MetaAddress.
* External jump handler: do not clobber registers.
When introducing support for dynamic binaries, we didn't realize that
in x86-64 we were clobbering `r11`. To avoid this, we have to jump to
an address stored in memory. However, due to the new `MetaAddress`,
obtaining a *jumpable* address from the PC-related CSVs might require
some computations (and it does in ARM). Therefore, we introduce a new
global variable, `jumpablepc`, whose only role is to contain the
jumpable version of the program counter and then be the target of the
memory-indirect jump instruction.
* Labels care only about absolute addresses.
* CSAA: mark call site, even if no accesses.
`MetaAddress` replaces all the `uint64_t` used to represent a virtual
address. Its main features are:
* It has a non-zero representation of invalid addresses.
* It supports tags to represent code that has different interpretations but
resides at the same address in memory (namely ARM vs Thumb).
* Arithmetic operations cannot overflow.
* It supports epochs, a way we intend to employ to handle self-modifying code
(i.e., different code at the same address at different times).
* It supports "address spaces", which enable handling architectures with
multiple address spaces.
* It fits in two 64-bit registers.
* Drop unused argument names from function prototypes
* Make `static` some methods
* Disable some copy constructors
* Fix casing of Doxygen `\file` directives
* Add some casts to make the compiler happy
* Initialize `hasRelocationAddend` for AArch64
* Use references in range-for where possible
* Drop default for `switch` statements covering all the entries of an `enum`
* Make some global variables `static`
* Drop dead functions
LLVM 9 drops the `TerminatorInst` class. This commit replaces it with
`Instruction` where possible and asserts
`Instruction::isTerminator()`. It also switches from
`TerminatorInst::successors` to `successors(TerminatorInst *)`.
This commit replicates the structure of the install directory into the
build directory in order to simplify the management of RPATHs.
This commit also drop `QEMU_INSTALL_PATH`.
* Introduce `ShrinkInstructionOperandsPass`: a transformation shrinking
operands and the results of instructions if they are
zero/sign-extended immediately before and after the instruction.
* Introduce `ConstantRangeSet`: similar to `ConstantRange` but allows
disjoint ranges.
* Introduce `MaterializedValue`: a class that can represent a constant
value or a symbol plus offset pair.
* Introduce `DropHelperCallsPass`: a transformation removing calls to
helpers and replacing them with a function call reading the CSVs that
the helper reads and writing the CSVs that the helper writes
(according to CSAA).
* Introduce `DropRangeMetadataPass`: a transformation dropping the
`range` metadata, which, in certain situations, lowers the quality of
the results provided by `LazyValueInfo`.
* Introduce `AdvancedValueInfo`: an analysis exploiting results of
`LazyValueInfo` but collecting them as `ConstantRangeSet` with a
monotone framework. It produces `MaterializedValue`.
* Anticipate linking of helpers: `AVI` requires `CSAA`, which requires
helper functions to be linked in.
* Drop `--no-link`.
* Force x86-64 `DataLayout`.
* Reorganize harvesting to either collect simple literals or go with
(incremental) `AVI`.
* Drop `SET`, `OSRA`, the reaching definition analysis, the
`SimplifyComparisonsPass` and all the sumjump-related code: e now
clone `root`, optimize it and analyze it with `AVI`.
* Temporarily drop the `NoReturnAnalysis`.
* Link `libLLVMInstCombine`, `libLLVMCodeGen` and `libLLVMPasses`.
* Introduce tests for `AdvancedValueInfo`,
`ShrinkInstructionOperandsPass` and `ConstantRangeSet`.
* Fix test results.
* Add `llvm.bswap.i64` and `@pc` to the LLVM template module for unit
tests.
* `GeneratedCodeBasicInfo::getCSVUsedByHelperCall` and
`GeneratedCodeBasicInfo::extractCSVs`: make the call argument an
`Instruction`.
* Introduce `blockByName`
* Introduce `getUniqueUser`.
* Fix linking issues.
This commit does the following:
* It drops `revamb-dump` and transforms all the passes it featured in
passes that can be used directly from `opt`.
* It rename `revamb` to `revng-lift`.
* It introduces a script called `revng` which acts as a driver for the
whole rev.ng project. It replaces `translate`, `revcc`,
`csv-to-ld-options` and `revamb-dump`, since it offers an `opt`
subcommand which allows to easily invoke all the analysis passes.
* It makes the project a CMake package that can be easily used
externally.
* It allows to easily create libraries of analysis to use through
`revng-opt`.
