\section{Unwinding data synthesis from binaries}
\begin{frame}{Why would synthesis be useful?}
\begin{itemize}
\item As said earlier, \alert{DWARF is complex}
\item Some compilers \alert{do not generate it}: hard to \alert{debug}
\& \alert{profile}.
\item Think of \alert{JIT-compiled assembly} (eg. JVM)
\item \ldots{}or even \alert{hand-written inlined assembly}!
\begin{itemize}
\item Painful enough to write for not bothering with DWARF
\item May not even be known by the programmer, breaks gdb
\item May be wrong (remember Linus!)
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{What have we got so far?}
We now want to \alert{synthesize unwinding data}. That means
\alert{forgetting the blue part of the previous schemes}.

%\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{How do we actually synthesize?}
\begin{itemize}
\item Upon entering a function, we know (ABI)
\[ \cfa = \reg{rsp} - 8
\qquad \ra = \cfa + 8 \]
\item For each instruction, we know \alert{how it changes \cfa}.
\item We assume \alert{\ra{} constant wrt. \cfa}.
\item The semantics of each instruction specifies \alert{how it changes \cfa}.
\begin{itemize}
\item[$\leadsto$] only \cfa{} tracking matters (for unwinding)
\end{itemize}
\item We had a working strategy for a \alert{linear execution}
\item We still have to handle
\begin{itemize}
\item \alert{\cfa{} expression}
\item \alert{control flow graph}
\item Heuristic to decide whether we index with \reg{rbp} or
\reg{rsp}
\end{itemize}
\item By performing a symbolic execution, we can \alert{synthesize the
unwinding table} line by line.
\item Control flow: forward data-flow analysis
\item The fixpoints are immediate, cf article
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{\cfa{} expression}
Two possibilities:
\begin{itemize}
\item Either we track \cfa{} wrt. \reg{rsp}
\begin{itemize}
\item and update it after each instruction if needed
\end{itemize}
\item Or \reg{rbp} is used as base pointer: easy
\end{itemize}

propagate end state of X to child nodes A and B
\item \alert{Upon join} (eg. \texttt{while\_end})\alert{:} check
consistency of both input states
\begin{itemize}
\item If tricky, \texttt{gcc} will have used \reg{rbp}, even
with \texttt{-fomit-frame-pointer}.
