8a4f0fcd3fc1a35c1482975114555b0fed75a1c0 Document faster throughput configuration (Alex Groce)

Pull request description:

  This is a small change to the fuzzing doc that I think might help more people improve the corpus coverage, which I think is low partly just due to lack of long, low-overhead, runs, in addition to the need to apply a more diverse set of fuzzers and coverage notions.

Fuzzing Dash Core using libFuzzer

Quickstart guide

To quickly get started fuzzing Dash Core using libFuzzer:

$ git clone https://github.com/dashpay/dash
$ cd dash/
$ ./autogen.sh
$ CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure --enable-fuzz --with-sanitizers=address,fuzzer,undefined --enable-c++17
# macOS users: If you have problem with this step then make sure to read "macOS hints for
# libFuzzer" on https://github.com/dashpay/dash/blob/develop/doc/fuzzing.md#macos-hints-for-libfuzzer
$ make
$ FUZZ=process_message src/test/fuzz/fuzz
# abort fuzzing using ctrl-c

Fuzzing harnesses and output

process_message is a fuzzing harness for the ProcessMessage(...) function (net_processing). The available fuzzing harnesses are found in src/test/fuzz/.

The fuzzer will output NEW every time it has created a test input that covers new areas of the code under test. For more information on how to interpret the fuzzer output, see the libFuzzer documentation.

If you specify a corpus directory then any new coverage increasing inputs will be saved there:

In this case the fuzzer managed to create a block message which when passed to ProcessMessage(...) increased coverage.

Fuzzing corpora

The project's collection of seed corpora is found in the bitcoin-core/qa-assets repo.

To fuzz process_message using the bitcoin-core/qa-assets seed corpus:

$ git clone https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets
$ FUZZ=process_message src/test/fuzz/fuzz qa-assets/fuzz_seed_corpus/process_message/

Run without sanitizers for increased throughput

Fuzzing on a harness compiled with --with-sanitizers=address,fuzzer,undefined is good for finding bugs. However, the very slow execution even under libFuzzer will limit the ability to find new coverage. A good approach is to perform occasional long runs without the additional bug-detectors (configure --with-sanitizers=fuzzer) and then merge new inputs into a corpus as described in the qa-assets repo (https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets/blob/main/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md). Patience is useful; even with improved throughput, libFuzzer may need days and 10s of millions of executions to reach deep/hard targets.

Reproduce a fuzzer crash reported by the CI

  • cd into the qa-assets directory and update it with git pull qa-assets
  • locate the crash case described in the CI output, e.g. Test unit written to ./crash-1bc91feec9fc00b107d97dc225a9f2cdaa078eb6
  • make sure to compile with all sanitizers, if they are needed (fuzzing runs more slowly with sanitizers enabled, but a crash should be reproducible very quickly from a crash case)
  • run the fuzzer with the case number appended to the seed corpus path: FUZZ=process_message src/test/fuzz/fuzz qa-assets/fuzz_seed_corpus/process_message/1bc91feec9fc00b107d97dc225a9f2cdaa078eb6

Submit improved coverage

If you find coverage increasing inputs when fuzzing you are highly encouraged to submit them for inclusion in the bitcoin-core/qa-assets repo.

Every single pull request submitted against the Dash Core repo is automatically tested against all inputs in the bitcoin-core/qa-assets repo. Contributing new coverage increasing inputs is an easy way to help make Dash Core more robust.

macOS hints for libFuzzer

The default Clang/LLVM version supplied by Apple on macOS does not include fuzzing libraries, so macOS users will need to install a full version, for example using brew install llvm.

Should you run into problems with the address sanitizer, it is possible you may need to run ./configure with --disable-asm to avoid errors with certain assembly code from Dash Core's code. See developer notes on sanitizers for more information.

You may also need to take care of giving the correct path for clang and clang++, like CC=/path/to/clang CXX=/path/to/clang++ if the non-systems clang does not come first in your path.

Full configure that was tested on macOS Catalina with brew installed llvm:

./configure --enable-fuzz --with-sanitizers=fuzzer,address,undefined CC=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang CXX=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++ --disable-asm --enable-c++17

Fuzzing Dash Core using american fuzzy lop (afl-fuzz)

Quickstart guide

To quickly get started fuzzing Dash Core using afl-fuzz:

$ git clone https://github.com/dashpay/dash
$ cd dash/
$ git clone https://github.com/google/afl
$ make -C afl/
$ make -C afl/llvm_mode/
$ ./autogen.sh
# It is possible to compile with afl-gcc and afl-g++ instead of afl-clang. However, running afl-fuzz
# may require more memory via the -m flag.
$ CC=$(pwd)/afl/afl-clang-fast CXX=$(pwd)/afl/afl-clang-fast++ ./configure --enable-fuzz --enable-c++17
$ make
# For macOS you may need to ignore x86 compilation checks when running "make". If so,
# try compiling using: AFL_NO_X86=1 make
$ mkdir -p inputs/ outputs/
$ echo A > inputs/thin-air-input
$ FUZZ=bech32 afl/afl-fuzz -i inputs/ -o outputs/ -- src/test/fuzz/fuzz
# You may have to change a few kernel parameters to test optimally - afl-fuzz
# will print an error and suggestion if so.
