Re: [PATCH] leaking_addresses: add generic 32-bit support

From: Kaiwan N Billimoria
Date: Mon Dec 25 2017 - 21:19:08 EST


The script attempts to detect the architecture it's running upon; as of now,
we explicitly support x86_64, PPC64 and x86_32.
If it's one of them, we proceed "normally". If we fail to detect the arch,
we fallback to 64-bit scanning, unless the user has passed either of these
option switches: "--opt-32bit" and/or "--page-offset-32bit=<val>".

If so, we switch to scanning for leaked addresses based on the value of
PAGE_OFFSET (via an auto-detected or fallback mechanism).

As of now, we have code (or "rules") to detect special cases for x86_64 and PPC64
(in the get_address_re sub). Also, we now have also builtin "stubs", for lack of a better term, where additional rules for other 64-bit arch's can be plugged into the code,
in future, as applicable.
