The --import-debug-info CLI flag and the ImporterOptions::
AdditionalDebugInfoPaths field it populated were a side-channel that
loaded extra DWARF files outside the normal ELF dependency-resolution
path. It bypassed the symbol-aware machinery and is no longer needed.
Unfortunately, in DWARF, there's no widespread indicator on whether a
function is regular ARM or Thumb. Therefore, in this commit, instead of
blindly creating a new function, we first check if, in the model, we
already have a function at that address.
This means that, if we have a Thumb function in DWARF, but it doesn't
already exist in the model, we will import as regular ARM, which is
wrong.
Specifically, this can happen with `revng model import debug-info`.
This commit introduces an analysis to import prototypes from a SQLite
database of well-known prototypes, typically built from debug info of
operating systems.
This analysis supersedes import-well-known-models.
Refactor the binary import and dependency resolution infrastructure to
support multiple platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS) via a
configuration-driven root system.
Major changes:
* Overhaul PDB and DWARF importers for platform-aware debug info
loading.
* Refactor LDDTree into a template-based architecture with
platform-specific implementations (ELF, PE/COFF).
* Mostly rewrite the PDB importer, which had significant limitations.
This commit refactors `TypeCopier`. Among other things, it ensures we
invoke `initializeReferences` only in `finalize`, as opposed to every
time we invoke `copyTypeInto`.
This commit ensures relocations imported from PE/COFF binaries have
generic `Address`. The fact that this was not the case lead to not
detecting dynamic calls.
The commit also improves logging and fixes the handling of maximum depth
visit of the PDB importer.
Fix the behavior of binary importers by propagating the path of the
input binary from revng2 downwards, allowing finding `.debug` files in
the correct paths.
This commit drops libptc in favor of its new form libtcg.
It brings several improvements, among which:
* The QEMU version we work on has been upgraded.
* CPUStateAccessAnalysis has been reimplemented in a way that makes it
easier to debug and solves some limitations (e.g., tracking leaking
pointers).
* Identification of pieces of the CPU state that are read by each helper
and fixing access to the CPU state is now performed at build-time.
* We no longer mmap the code we need to translate, dropping all the
issues related to code that needed to be mapped where something is
already present.
* We now have two distinct flavors of helper modules: the full one and
the "slim" one. The latter contains the definition only of functions
we intend to inline. It is used in most of the pipeline, a good thing
since we spend less time optimizing code we don't really care about.
The full module is only used on the re-compilation branch of the
pipeline.
* We no longer split the `cpu_loop` function.
* We change MetaAddress to rely on architectures from `model::` as
opposed to the LLVM ones.
* We no longer attach debug info to LLVM IR containing the original
assembly.
* We now verify that the lifted code only contains code we expect.
This commit ensures that parts of the model that must point to code
(specifically `Binary::EntryPoint`, `Binary::ExtraCodeAddresses` and
`Function::Entry`) actually point to a segment mapped as +x.
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 `model::Type::ID` from being a GUID to be a
progressive number, in order to make things easier for humans.
On top of this, this commit introduces the following changes:
* TypeCopier: import all the necessary PrimitiveTypes and improve
handling of CustomName.
* Move Kind as the last field of the key of each TupleTree type used in
an `UpcastablePointer`.
* Update the ground truth of tests to ignore the `CustomName` in favor
of focusing on `OriginalName`.
* Increase adoption of `model::Binary::makeType`, equivalent to
`Binary.recordNewType(makeType<model::*Type>())`.
This commit ensure the BaseAddress is propagate as appropriate to all
levels of the importers and that it is ignored for executables
(non-PIC).
This was a recurring source of importing the same function twice, once
relocated, once not.
