This patch adds a new command-line option -mutation_graph_file=FILE for
debugging purposes, which traces how corpus inputs evolve during a fuzzing
run. For each new input that is added to the corpus, a new vertex corresponding
to the added input, as well as a new edge that connects its base input to itself
are written to the given file. Each vertex is labeled with the filename of the
input, and each edge is labeled with the mutation sequence that led to the input
w.r.t. its base input.
The format of the mutation graph file is the dot file format. Once prepended and
appended with "graph {" and "}", respectively, the graph becomes a valid dot
file and can be visualized.

This patch scales the energy computed by the Entropic schedule based on the
execution time of each input. The input execution time is compared with the
average execution time of inputs in the corpus, and, based on the amount by
which they differ, the energy is scaled from 0.1x (for inputs executing slow) to
3x (for inputs executing fast). Note that the exact scaling criteria and formula
is borrowed from AFL.
On FuzzBench, this gives a sizeable throughput increase, which in turn leads to
more coverage on several benchmarks. For details, see the following report.

This patch adds an option "cross_over_uniform_dist", which, if 1, considers all
inputs in the corpus for the crossover input selection. More specifically, this
patch uses a uniform distribution of all inputs in the corpus for the CrossOver
input selection. Note that input selection for mutation is still fully
determined by the scheduling policy (i.e., vanilla or Entropic); the uniform
distribution only applies to the secondary input selection, only for the
crossover mutation of the base input chosen by the scheduling policy. This way
the corpus inputs that have useful fragments in them, even though they are
deprioritized by the scheduling policy, have chances of getting mixed with other
inputs that are prioritized and selected as base input for mutation.

This patch adds an option "keep_seed" to keep all initial seed inputs in the
corpus. Previously, only the initial seed inputs that find new coverage were
added to the corpus, and all the other initial inputs were discarded. We
observed in some circumstances that useful initial seed inputs are discarded as
they find no new coverage, even though they contain useful fragments in them
(e.g., SQLITE3 FuzzBench benchmark). This newly added option provides a way to
keeping seed inputs in the corpus for those circumstances. With this patch, and
with -keep_seed=1, all initial seed inputs are kept in the corpus regardless of
whether they find new coverage or not. Further, these seed inputs are not
replaced with smaller inputs even if -reduce_inputs=1.

Currently, libFuzzer will exit with an error message if a non-existent
directory is provided for any of the appropriate arguments. For cases
where libFuzzer is used in a specialized embedded environment, it would
be much easier to have libFuzzer create the directories for the user.
This patch accommodates for this scenario by allowing the user to provide
the argument `-create_missing_dirs=1` which makes libFuzzer attempt to
create the `artifact_prefix`, `exact_artifact_path`,
`features_dir` and/or corpus directory if they don't already exist rather
than throw an error and exit.

Currently, libFuzzer will exit with an error message if a non-existent
corpus directory is provided. However, if a user provides a non-existent
directory for the `artifact_prefix`, `exact_artifact_path`, or
`features_dir`, libFuzzer will continue execution but silently fail to
write artifacts/features.
To improve the user experience, this PR adds validation for the existence of
all user supplied directories before executing the main fuzzing loop. If they
don't exist, libFuzzer will exit with an error message.

When one tries to minimize timeouts using -minimize_crash=1,
minimization immediately fails. The following sequence of events is
responsible for this:
[parent] SIGALRM occurs
[parent] read() returns -EINTR (or -ERESTARTSYS according to strace)
[parent] fgets() returns NULL
[parent] ExecuteCommand() closes child's stdout and returns
[child ] SIGALRM occurs
[child ] AlarmCallback() attempts to write "ALARM: ..." to stdout
[child ] Dies with SIGPIPE without calling DumpCurrentUnit()
[parent] Does not see -exact_artifact_path and exits
When minimizing, the timer in parent is not necessary, so fix by not
setting it in this case.

Summary: This patch separates platform related macros in lib/fuzzer/FuzzerDefs.h into lib/fuzzer/FuzzerPlatform.h, and use FuzzerPlatform.h where necessary. This separation helps when compiling libFuzzer's interceptor module (under review); an unnecessary include of standard headers (such as string.h) may produce conflicts/ambiguation with the interceptor's declarations/definitions of library functions, which complicates interceptor implementation.

Summary:
This is collaboration between Marcel Boehme @ Monash, Australia and Valentin Manès plus Sang Kil Cha @ KAIST, South Korea.
We have made a few modifications to boost LibFuzzer performance by changing how weights are assigned to the seeds in the corpus. Essentially, seeds that reveal more "information" about globally rare features are assigned a higher weight. Our results on the Fuzzer Test Suite seem quite promising. In terms of bug finding, our Entropic patch usually finds the same errors much faster and in more runs. In terms of coverage, our version Entropic achieves the same coverage in less than half the time for the majority of subjects. For the lack of space, we shared more detailed performance results directly with @kcc. We'll publish the preprint with all the technical details as soon as it is accepted. Happy to share if you drop us an email.
There should be plenty of opportunities to optimise further. For instance, while Entropic achieves the same coverage in less than half the time, Entropic has a much lower #execs per second. We ran the perf-tool and found a few performance bottlenecks.
Thanks for open-sourcing LibFuzzer (and the entire LLVM Compiler Infrastructure)! This has been such a tremendous help to my research.

For CleanseCrashInput, discards stdout output anyway since it is not used.
These changes are to defend against aggressive PID recycle on windows to reduce the chance of contention on files.
Using pipe instead of file also workaround the problem that when the
process is spawned by llvm-lit, the aborted process keeps a handle to the
output file such that the output file can not be removed. This will
cause random test failures.

there is an ongoing work on interchangeable custom mutators
(https://github.com/google/clusterfuzz/pull/1333/files#r367706283)
and having some sort of signalling from libFuzzer that it has loaded
a custom mutator would be helpful.
The initial idea was to make the mutator to print something, but given
the anticipated variety of different mutators, it does not seem possible
to make all of them print the same message to signal their execution.

Some custom mutators may not peform well when size restriction is

by default in such cases, but still allow users to enable it manually.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and

Summary:
This was an experimental feature. After evaluating it with:
1) https://github.com/google/fuzzer-test-suite/tree/master/engine-comparison
2) enabling on real world fuzz targets running at ClusterFuzz and OSS-Fuzz
The following conclusions were made:
1) With fuzz targets that have reached a code coverage plateau, the feature does
not improve libFuzzer's ability to discover new coverage and may actually
negatively impact it.
2) With fuzz targets that have not yet reached a code coverage plateau, the
feature might speed up new units discovery in some cases, but it is quite
rare and hard to confirm with a high level on confidence.
