CPUStateAccessAnalysisPass can now run lazily and accumulate partial
results. Actual fixes to the accesses to the CPU State (to make them
explicit) are only applied when the analysis is run in non-lazy mode.
* `GeneratedCodeBasicInfo::getCSVUsedByHelperCall` and
`GeneratedCodeBasicInfo::extractCSVs`: make the call argument an
`Instruction`.
* Introduce `blockByName`
* Introduce `getUniqueUser`.
* Fix linking issues.
We used to list all the architectures supported by QEMU in tests,
however this not optimal. This commit switches to a whitelist for the
list of architectures to tests so that we don't test architectures for
which we have a toolchain but aren't ready for the testsuite.
We can currently successfully translate only dynamic binaries for
x86-64. Warn the user about this early on instead of failing in
`revng-merge-dynamic`.
This commit enlarges the set of external function calls we
detect. Basically, instead of assuming that the instruction jumping to
the external function is the call, we now also consider instructions in
previous basic blocks, as long as there's only one possible path
backward.
This commit improves the output of `--help` and reduces the output of
`--version`. This commit, when calling `opt`, injects a `LD_PRELOAD`
for `libasan.so` in case a `librevng*.so` library uses it.
`ClassSentinel` makes use of an undefined behavior to check if an object
has been destroyed. Disable this check in case of presence of address
sanitizer or even regular optimizations.
Register marked as explicitly callee saved in a function used to be
marked as No both for the current function and all of its function
calls. However, the latter action is not accurate.
In certain locations we were using a `std::vector`, taking a reference
to it, adding elements and ending up in a reference invalidation issue.
This commit replaces those `std::vectors` with `std::deque` which do not
present this issue.
The ABI analysis used to ignore actions happening in CFG-level infinite
loops due to the fact that they had no exists. This commits detects
infinite loops and marks certain nodes as exits.
This commit introduces the `enforce-abi` pass, which consumes the
information provided by the ABI analysis and enforces them in the
isolated functions adding actual arguments.
This commit also rewrites the logic of `ResultsPool::finalize` and
changes the semantic of `Yes` statements on arguments to `YesOrDead`.
`empty-newpc` is a simple pass suppose to provide an empty body for
the `newpc` function, allowing further optimization pass to take out
all its calls.
`ZipMapIterator` allows you to iterate in parallel over two
`std::map`-like containers.
In the ABI analysis, this allows us to be much more efficient. In
practice, if we have two maps with M and N elements, we pass from
performing N*log(N) + M*log(M) queries to the size of the union of the
set of keys of the two maps.
Due to `opt` loading multiple times the same library, we had to switch
to `LD_PRELOAD`. However, this is suboptimal. This commit goes back to
use the `-load` flag but excludes the libraries that are dependencies of
other libraries. This requires parsing the ELF but it's a more neat
solution.
In addition, several shortcuts for popular debugging tools (namely,
`gdb`, `valgrind`, `callgrind`, `heaptrack` and `perf`) have been added
to the root command.
The `BFSVisitorBase` can go forward and backward starting from a certain
instruction. When going backward, it used to skip the starting
instruction.
For simmetry purposes, this commit changes that.
In the stack analysis, we used to consider helper functions as indirect
calls. However, the `CPUStateAccessAnalysis` provides us accurate
information about what an helper function does.
This commit transforms calls to helper functions in a series of ABI IR
instructions reading all the input registers of the helper functions and
a series of instructions writing the output registers.
Note that, while this is a serious improvement over considering them
indirect function calls, it's still suboptimal since
`CPUStateAccessAnalysis` doesn't provide us information as fine-grained
as the ABI analysis.
Previously, to enumerate all the CSVs we had to go through the
`GlobalVariable` of a `Module` and see if the were being used in
rev.ng-generated code.
Now we have a named metadata for that: `revng.csv`.
The CPUStateAccessAnalysis used to record its results in terms of the
names of GlobalVariable, however, metadata can be constants, and,
specifically, `GlobalVariable`.
This commit serializes the results as references to the `GlobalVariable`
object instead of using their names.
