For now, the only serialization trait we were verifying
a polymorphic TTG type to have was the wrong (the one
that only printed base class's fields).
This commit explicitly disables said serializer and
ensures it's never used.
Here's an illustration of the impact of the changes:
```
model::UpcastableType MyType = getTypeFromSomewhere();
model::Type &View = *MyType;
model::PointerType &Pointer = MyType->asPointer();
serialize(MyType); // Good
serialize(Pointer); // Good
serialize(View); // new: explicit error
// old: only print base type's fields
```
Replace the stub implementation of invalidation with the proper
implementation. A ReadPathCache is added to each global so that it can
keep tracks of what target are associated to which read paths.
This commit switches the approach with which we run the ABI analyses: we
now run them until we reach a fixed point. This enables proper
interprocedural propagation of arguments and return values.
Basically, we now inject reads before call sites, so that, if a function
immediately calls another one, the arguments of the callee are
propagated to the caller.
This commit also updates the logic with which we propagate function
prototypes (and names) to callers. The main advantage of this, is that
function wrappers (in particular, PLT entries) now have the same name as
the function they wrap.
The goal of this update is to propagate prototypes of functions called
in wrappers to this wrappers.
When some function hasn't it's own prototype, but the only thing it does
is calling another function, DetectABI pass sets callee prototype as
caller prototype also.
This behaviour is limited to callers that:
1. have only one basic block
2. end with call
3. don't write arguments of callee
4. don't modify stack pointer
5. don't write to memory.
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`.
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.
