Hi,
I am writing a new tool that involves calling a tool function at every
instruction. However, there appears to be one instruction that never
gets executed, and I cannot figure out why. The (partial)
instrumented IRSB is as follows:
------ IMark(0x112E42, 5, 0) ------
DIRTY 1:I1 RdFX-gst(0,928) ::: record_current_state{0x58001ce0}(0x112E42:I64)
t68 = Sub64(t2,0x8:I64)
PUT(48) = t68
STle(t68) = 0x112E47:I64
t70 = Sub64(t68,0x80:I64)
====== AbiHint(t70, 128, 0x124A10:I64) ======
------ IMark(0x124A10, 1, 0) ------
DIRTY 1:I1 RdFX-gst(0,928) ::: record_current_state{0x58001ce0}(0x124A10:I64)
t79 = Sub64(t68,0x8:I64)
PUT(48) = t79
STle(t79) = t22
PUT(184) = 0x124A11:I64
------ IMark(0x124A11, 3, 0) ------
DIRTY 1:I1 RdFX-gst(0,928) ::: record_current_state{0x58001ce0}(0x124A11:I64)
PUT(56) = t79
PUT(184) = 0x124A14:I64
------ IMark(0x124A14, 4, 0) ------
DIRTY 1:I1 RdFX-gst(0,928) ::: record_current_state{0x58001ce0}(0x124A14:I64)
t82 = Add64(t79,0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF8:I64)
STle(t82) = t64
PUT(184) = 0x124A18:I64
The instruction that doesn't get executed is 0x124A10. There are two
reasons I say the instruction is not executed. First, I am printing
out the guest IP in record_current_state() and 0x124A10 is never
printed. Second, I get a segfault at instruction 0x124A14, which
dereferences a stack location. I have checked read/write permissions
of the location referenced in the STle IRStmt, and sure enough the
location is not valid for the guest. This leads me to believe that
the t79=Sub64(t68, 0x8) isn't happening, because that should update
the memory permissions.
Interestingly, instruction 0x112E42 seemingly gets executed twice,
according to my instrumentation output:
==273360== Recording state for 0x112e42 (quote_name_buf)
==273360== Recording state for 0x112e42 (quote_name_buf)
==273360== Recording state for 0x124a11 (get_quoting_style)
