We have implemented a new version of KCOV, which is able to dump
comparison operands' data, obtained from Clang's instrumentation hooks
__sanitizer_cov_trace_cmp[1248], __sanitizer_cov_trace_const_cmp[1248]
and __sanitizer_cov_trace_switch.
Current KCOV implementation can work in two modes: "Dump only the PCs"
or "Dump only comparisons' data". Mode selection is done by the
following series of calls:
fd = open(KCOV_PATH, ...); // works as previous
ioctl(fd, KCOV_INIT_TRACE, ...); // works as previous
mmap(fd, ...); // works as previous
ioctl(fd, KCOV_ENABLE, mode);
// mode = KCOV_MODE_TRACE_CMP or mode = KCOV_MODE_TRACE_PC
Note that this new interface is backwards compatible, as old KCOV
devices will just return -EINVAL for the last ioctl. This way we can
distinguish if the KCOV device is able to dump the comparisons.
Main changes in this commit:
1. Fuzzer now checks at startup which type (new/old) of KCOV device
is running.
2. Executor now receives an additional flag, which indicates if
executor should read the comparisons data from KCOV. The flag works on
per-call basis, so executor can collect PCs or Comps for each
individual syscall.
This splits generation process into two phases:
1. Extract values of constants from linux kernel sources.
2. Generate Go code.
Constant values are checked in.
The advantage is that the second phase is now completely independent
from linux source files, kernel version, presence of headers for
particular drivers, etc. This allows to change what Go code we generate
any time without access to all kernel headers (which in future won't be
limited to only upstream headers).
Constant extraction process does require proper kernel sources,
but this can be done only once by the person who added the driver
and has access to the required sources. Then the constant values
are checked in for others to use.
Consant extraction process is per-file/per-arch. That is,
if I am adding a driver that is not present upstream and that
works only on a single arch, I will check in constants only for
that driver and for that arch.
