i#4091: Fix crash due to AMD stack segment bug (#4485) On AMD there is a processor bug where the stack segment descriptor is corrupted after a mode switch from 64-bit to 32-bit which coincides with a thread context switch. We fix that by re-loading the descriptor from the selector, using the value observed at initialization time. Duplicate symbol errors which are somehow raised in VS2017 with the new drlibc call from the core are resolved by moving d_r_internal_error and d_r_ignore_assert to their own source files. Tested on an Intel processor and also on several AMD processors where the crash was readily reproducible without this fix: see comments in the issue. Fixes #4091
DynamoRIO is a runtime code manipulation system that supports code transformations on any part of a program, while it executes. DynamoRIO exports an interface for building dynamic tools for a wide variety of uses: program analysis and understanding, profiling, instrumentation, optimization, translation, etc. Unlike many dynamic tool systems, DynamoRIO is not limited to insertion of callouts/trampolines and allows arbitrary modifications to application instructions via a powerful IA-32/AMD64/ARM/AArch64 instruction manipulation library. DynamoRIO provides efficient, transparent, and comprehensive manipulation of unmodified applications running on stock operating systems (Windows, Linux, or Android) and commodity IA-32, AMD64, ARM, and AArch64 hardware. Mac OSX support is in progress.
Tools built on DynamoRIO and provided in our release package include:
DynamoRIO‘s powerful API abstracts away the details of the underlying infrastructure and allows the tool builder to concentrate on analyzing or modifying the application’s runtime code stream. API documentation is included in the release package and can also be browsed online. Slides from our past tutorials are also available.
DynamoRIO is available free of charge as a binary package for both Windows and Linux. DynamoRIO's source code is available under a BSD license.
