This commit does the following:
* It drops `revamb-dump` and transforms all the passes it featured in
passes that can be used directly from `opt`.
* It rename `revamb` to `revng-lift`.
* It introduces a script called `revng` which acts as a driver for the
whole rev.ng project. It replaces `translate`, `revcc`,
`csv-to-ld-options` and `revamb-dump`, since it offers an `opt`
subcommand which allows to easily invoke all the analysis passes.
* It makes the project a CMake package that can be easily used
externally.
* It allows to easily create libraries of analysis to use through
`revng-opt`.
This commit lets the reaching definitions analysis employ results from
the stack analysis to propagate definitions across functions
calls. Specifically, the stack analysis provides a list of registers
that might be clobbered by the callee: definitions concerning those are
not propagated, all the others are propagated.
This change is key to detect jump tables whose address has been
materialized *before* a function call. A test for such situation has
been introduced.
To make this work, the RDA now works over the CFG provided by the
function identification analysis.
The `FunctionCallIdentification` analysis now provides a custom view on
the CFG where 1) dispatcher-related basic blocks are absent, 2) nodes
performing functions calls have an edge to their return address and 3)
nodes ending with a return instruction have no successor.
This CFG is now employed by the reaching definitions analysis and OSRA.
Additionally, the implementation of the `visitSuccessors` and
`visitPredecessors` method has been reviewed. It now consists in a class
that needs to be inherited and for which two methods should be
implemented, one to perform the visit of a block and another one to
enumerate the successors.
In addition, all the users of `visitSuccessors`/`visitPredecessors` have
been updated, a simple set of tests has been introduced and
`GeneratedCodeBasicInfo::visitPredecessors` has been dropped.
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.
