Build srcinv

Dependencies to build this project:

• libncurses
• libreadline
• libcapstone
• clib: use the latest version
• gcc-plugin, test gcc/g++ 8.3.0

About SELF_CFLAGS in the main Makefile:

• CLIB_PATH: path to clib
• SRCINV_ROOT: path to srcinv
• GCC_PLUGIN_INC: path to gcc plugin headers folder
• CONFIG_ANALYSIS_THREAD: how many threads to parse resfile
• CONFIG_DEBUG_MOODE: output more messages
• HAVE_CLIB_DBG_FUNC: multi-thread backtrace support
• USE_NCURSES: use ncurses to show detail of each phase
• Wno-packed-not-aligned: not used
• fno-omit-frame-pointer: not used
• CONFIG_THREAD_STACKSZ: the size of thread to parse
• CONFIG_ID_VALUE_BITS: bits to represent the value of siid
• CONFIG_ID_TYPE_BITS: bits to represent the type of siid
• CONFIG_SRC_BUF_START: start of the src memory area, the global si pointer
• CONFIG_SRC_BUF_BLKSZ: the size of each time we expand the src memory area
• CONFIG_SRC_BUF_END: end of the src memory area
• CONFIG_RESFILE_BUF_START: start of resfile area, where we load the resfile
• CONFIG_RESFILE_BUF_SIZE: size of each time we expand resfile area
• CONFIG_SI_PATH_MAX: length of src path
• CONFIG_SRC_ID_LEN: length of src id
• CONFIG_MAX_OBJS_PER_FILE: max objects we collect for each source file
• CONFIG_MAX_SIZE_PER_FILE: max size for each source file
• CONFIG_SAVED_SRC: the filename to save the src content
• GCC_CONTAIN_FREE_SSANAMES: set if you want to collect the freed ssanames

Run make and make install

Usage

NOTE: you should modify config/module.json before you want to use a
specific module. e.g. you code a new module for hacking, you should add it
into config/module.json file before running it.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you to do all the six steps, till you get the
src.saved file. I still can not figure out why it fails when I try
to skip over STEP1. So I just put it on TODO lists.

• collect: Do this in the target project root directory, not srcinv root.

  • Each make should generate only ONE executable file.
  • For a project that may generate more than one executable file, you need to modify the Makefile(s), and generate them one by one.
  • Example, for linux kernel
    • make mrproper
    • make localmodconfig to prepare the .config file
    • make EXTRA_CFLAGS+='-fplugin=/path/to/srcinv/collect/c.so -fplugin-arg-c-output=/path/to/srcinv/tmp/xxx/resfile' vmlinux -jx to generate builtin resfile
    • make EXTRA_CFLAGS+='-fplugin=/path/to/srcinv/collect/c.so -fplugin-arg-c-output=/path/to/srcinv/tmp/xxx/tty.resfile' -C . M=drivers/tty/ modules to get the tty module resfile

• analysis: in srcinv root directory, ./si_core

  • load_srcfile xxx, xxx is the folder in srcinv/tmp where you just put the resfile(s) into
  • analysis into analysis mode
  • help list supported commands
  • parse resfile 1 1 0 the first 1 is set for kernel project, the second 1 is for the core(for linux kernel, it is vmlinux; 0 for tty.resfile). You can also parse the resfile by:
    • parse resfile 1 1 1
    • parse resfile 1 1 2
    • parse resfile 1 1 3
    • parse resfile 1 1 4
    • parse resfile 1 1 5
    • parse resfile 1 1 6

• hacking: do anything you want to do

  • in SRCINV> mode, run hacking
  • help list supported commands
