Using a build tag to exclude files for golangci-lint
reduces memory consumption (it does not parse them).
The naive attempt with skip-dirs did not work.
So add codeanalysis build tag and use it in auto-generated files.
Update #977
Currently target binaries contain support for all OS/arch combinations.
However, obviously a fuchsia target binary won't test windows.
For target binaries we need support only for a single target
(with the exception of 386/arm target in amd64/arm64 binaries).
So compile in only _the_ target into target binaries.
This reduces akaros/amd64 fuzzer binary from 33 to 7 MB
and execprog from 28 to 2 MB.
Make as much code as possible shared between all OSes.
In particular main is now common across all OSes.
Make more code shared between executor and csource
(in particular, loop function and threaded execution logic).
Also make loop and threaded logic shared across all OSes.
Make more posix/unix code shared across OSes
(e.g. signal handling, pthread creation, etc).
Plus other changes along similar lines.
Also support test OS in executor (based on portable posix)
and add 4 arches that cover all execution modes
(fork server/no fork server, shmem/no shmem).
This change paves way for testing of executor code
and allows to preserve consistency across OSes and executor/csource.
We have fallback coverage implmentation for freebsd.
1. It's broken after some recent changes.
2. We need it for fuchsia, windows, akaros, linux too.
3. It's painful to work with C code.
Move fallback coverage to ipc package,
fix it and provide for all OSes.
We see some crashes that suggest corruption of the syscall number:
invalid command number 1296 (errno 11)
invalid command number 107 (errno 110)
Make the table and the number constant to prevent corruption.
Move generated files to gen subdir. This allows to:
1. Rebuild init.go without rebuilding generated code.
2. Excluding generated files from gometalinter checking.
This makes faster and consume less memory.
Update #538
1. mmap all memory always, without explicit mmap calls in the program.
This makes lots of things much easier and removes lots of code.
Makes mmap not a special syscall and allows to fuzz without mmap enabled.
2. Change address assignment algorithm.
Current algorithm allocates unmapped addresses too frequently
and allows collisions between arguments of a single syscall.
The new algorithm analyzes actual allocations in the program
and places new arguments at unused locations.
This breaks circular dependency between:
sysgen -> sys/linux -> sys -> sysgen
With this circular dependency it is very difficult to
update format of generated descriptions because sysgen does not build.
Info about targets (like C arch/CFLAGS) is required in multiple places:
extract.sh
syz-extract
syz-sysgen
csource
vm/qemu
...
Consolidate it in one place and use that in syz-sysgen.
Large overhaul moves syscalls and arg types from sys to prog.
Sys package now depends on prog and contains only generated
descriptions of syscalls.
Introduce prog.Target type that encapsulates all targer properties,
like syscall list, ptr/page size, etc. Also moves OS-dependent pieces
like mmap call generation from prog to sys.
Update #191
All other types have optional underlying type as the last argument.
Proc have it as first. This creates very irregular syntax and
complicates parsing. Make type the last argument.
Note: this is a breaking change if you have descriptions on the side.
We currently use uintptr for all values.
This won't work for 32-bit archs.
Moreover in some cases we use uintptr but assume
that it is always 64-bits (e.g. in encodingexec).
Switch everything to uint64.
Update #324
