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.
So far we've been tracking only base-relative relocations in an ad-hoc
fashion. This commit introduces a data structure that can describe the
most common relocations, including those for `.got`, `.got.plt`,
base-relative and `R_*_COPY`.
A label describes a range of the binary. A label can be generated from a
symbol (basically assigning a name to range of the binary) or from a
relocation, describing the content of a certain range.
This commit generates labels from symbols and relocations, including
MIPS implicit relocations.
This commit also introduces canonical values.
A register can have a canonical value, i.e., a value that register will
assume when the analyzed module is being run. This is typically useful
for the value of the global pointer, which is different from one module
to another but, within a module, is stable.
This commit registers the canonical value of `gp` (in MIPS), if
available.
Updating to LLVM 7 mainly involved the following steps:
* Upgrade APIs for folding ConstantExpr.
* Upgrade APIs for GraphTraits.
* Upgrade APIs for DominatorTreeBase.
* Upgrade APIs for BinaryFormat to parse ELFs.
* Fix the LLVM Linker to properly link the QEMU helpers.
* Disable the new optnone attribute even with optimization -O0. This is
necessary to allow SROA to do its job properly.
* Upgrade APIs to delete Instructions.
* Properly cleaning up orphaned metadata still referring to Instructions
that have been destroyed. Recent versions of LLVM are more strict in
this respect, and will assert when compiled in debug.
* Avoid using LLVM `getGlobalContext` which has been removed from newer
versions of LLVM.
* Upgrade tests to use the new APIs.
* Upgrade APIs for instruction iterators and reverse iterators.
This commit reimplements the (conditional) reaching definitions passes
as an instance of a monotone framework.
The `ConditionNumberingPass` has also been reworked in the way it
exposes its results, but it's otherwise unchanged.
A proper unit testing framework is also available to ensure everything
works as supposed to.
In a `MonotoneFramework` it is sometimes necessary to change the
information propagated on a branch w.r.t. another branch.
This commit introduces the `handleEdge` function that allows
`MonotoneFramework` implementors to modify the `LatticeElement` produced
by `transfer`.
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 introduces `revng_log`, a macro analagous to `revng_assert`,
which basically allows to have the benefit of the `Logger` class without
having to compute the expression to log if the logger is disabled.
This commit also completely dismisses the `DBG` macro, converting all
the old code to `Logger` + `revng_log`.
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.
