Abstract

Code analysis for defect detection is very important in the modern world, especially in the case of complex multi-thread applications. An example of a tool, suitable for software of high complexity, is the famous S2E, which allows for full-system emulation with symbolic execution. This paper presents several major enhancements for S2E, including: firstly, support for multiple virtual cores, allowing to have parallel speed-up; secondly, on this basis, a race checker plugin to detect defects of this sort in multi-thread programs. This development has concerned such interesting points of research as scheduling in multi-core emulation and race detection with symbolic execution.

用于分析多线程软件的增强型 S2E

摘要用于缺陷检测的代码分析在现代社会非常重要，尤其是在复杂的多线程应用程序中。著名的 S2E 就是一个适用于高复杂性软件的工具，它可以通过符号执行进行全系统仿真。本文介绍了 S2E 的几项主要增强功能，包括：首先，支持多个虚拟内核，允许并行加速；其次，在此基础上，提供一个竞赛检查插件，用于检测多线程程序中的此类缺陷。这一发展涉及多核仿真中的调度和符号执行中的竞赛检测等有趣的研究点。
