We used to ignore CFEPs that matched the starting address of a basic
block of a previously detect function.
We now also exclude such CFEPs even if the candidate is *part* of an
existing block.
This is done mainly so that downstream passes do not need to run
`CollectCFG` to store information that has already been computed but not
serialized.
This come at the cost of computing the CFG also of functions we don't
want to analyze in `DetectABI`.
We used to only color instructions in the same BasicBlock as the call to
`newpc`. However, an instruction in the original binary can span
multiple BasicBlocks.
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.
FunctionMetadata was being deserialized every time they were
inspected. This commit introduces a cache structure to prevent this
excessive deserializations.
This change handles the situation in which getLastPC returns an invalid
MetaAddress. This is a new behavior introduces to handle queries on
`llvm::BasicBlock`s whose last PC is ambiguous.
