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.
* Make the following private headers public:
* Lift/CPUStateAccessAnalysisPass.h
* Lift/CSVOffsets.h
* Lift/PTCDump.h
* Lift/VariableManager.h
* Move from revngSupport to revngLift:
* IRAnnotators.{h,cpp}
* SelfReferencingDbgAnnotationWriter.{h,cpp}
* Move from revngSupport to revngModel:
* FunctionTags.{h,cpp}
* ProgramCounterHandler.{h,cpp}
* Move from revngSupport to revngRecompile:
* OriginalAssemblyAnnotationWriter.{h,cpp}
Before this commit, when outlining parts of `root` for analysis
purposes, we used to replace calls with a set of instructions clobbering
the set of register *not* preserved by such call, or, in case the
prototype was not available, by the default prototype.
This commit forces the usage of the default prototype.
This trades off precision with accuracy but we get the lift pipe not to
depend on any model::Function prototype.
Various parts of revng replace `llvm::GlobalVariable`s representing CSVs
with Allocal/Load/Store. In particular, these are PromoteCSV,
RootAnalyzer and PromoteGlobalToLocalVars.
Before this commit, those places were sloppy when replacing CSVs with
Alloca/Load/Store, and did that iterating on a container sorted by
pointers. This caused Alloca/Load/Store to be emitted in different order
accross runs, which in turn caused more non-determinism down the
pipeline.
This commit fixes the non-deterministic behavior, sorting CSVs based on
their names, which should always be present and deterministic.
`ValueMaterializer` is a rewrite of what was called `AdvancedValueInfo`
which follows the same principles.
The main benefits over the old version is:
* We materialize the data-flow graph and the CFG of the relevant part of
root. This makes debugging significantly easier.
* We drop the old MonotoneFramework infrastructure in favor of
getMaximalFixedPoint.
* We significantly reduce the amount of queries we make to
AdvancedValueInfo.
