renvg.h should not use model headers, however, currently it does. This,
combined with the fact that the revngSupport library did not depend on
revngModel or the header generation led to non-deterministic build
failures.
Before this commit the bug can be found by:
orc clean revng
orc uninstall revng
orc configure revng
orc shell -c revng ninja renvgSupport
The error should manifest itself as some generated headers missing.
The proper fix would be to rewrite revng.h so that it does not uses the
model.
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.
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.
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`.
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`.
This commit uses SET, information about canonical values and labels to
detect if an indirect function call is targeting an external symbol.
The strings used for the name of external symbols are uniqued global
variables. This commit also uses this approach for the disassembly of
original instructions, which used to be metadata.
This commit dismisses the `argparse` library (the only non-runtime C
component of rev.ng) in favor of LLVM's CommandLine library, which
offers several benefits. Among others, now command line arguments can be
easily specified as a global variable, decentralizing their management
and avoiding the long list of arguments in the constructor of singleton
objects such as `CodeGenerator`.
This commit moves around most files. The new directory structure is as
follows:
* `lib/$LIBRARY/`: contains a library, i.e., a set of `.cpp` files used
by multiple libraries/tools.
* `include/revng/$LIBRARY/`: contains the public headers associated to
the library in `lib/$LIBRARY/`.
* `tools/$TOOL/`: directory where all the `.cpp` files (and private
headers) for a tool reside. Currently we have two tools: `revamb` and
`revamb-dump`.
On top of this, all file names are now in camel case.
