MC: Disassembled CFG reconstruction.
This patch builds on some existing code to do CFG reconstruction from
a disassembled binary:
- MCModule represents the binary, and has a list of MCAtoms.
- MCAtom represents either disassembled instructions (MCTextAtom), or
contiguous data (MCDataAtom), and covers a specific range of addresses.
- MCBasicBlock and MCFunction form the reconstructed CFG. An MCBB is
backed by an MCTextAtom, and has the usual successors/predecessors.
- MCObjectDisassembler creates a module from an ObjectFile using a
disassembler. It first builds an atom for each section. It can also
construct the CFG, and this splits the text atoms into basic blocks.
MCModule and MCAtom were only sketched out; MCFunction and MCBB were
implemented under the experimental "-cfg" llvm-objdump -macho option.
This cleans them up for further use; llvm-objdump -d -cfg now generates
graphviz files for each function found in the binary.
In the future, MCObjectDisassembler may be the right place to do
"intelligent" disassembly: for example, handling constant islands is just
a matter of splitting the atom, using information that may be available
in the ObjectFile. Also, better initial atom formation than just using
sections is possible using symbols (and things like Mach-O's
function_starts load command).
This brings two minor regressions in llvm-objdump -macho -cfg:
- The printing of a relocation's referenced symbol.
- An annotation on loop BBs, i.e., which are their own successor.
Relocation printing is replaced by the MCSymbolizer; the basic CFG
annotation will be superseded by more related functionality.
