How can I generate a profraw file based on the output of my custom fuzzer?

[thealberto]

Hi all, I'm trying to get the code coverage of a simple test fuzzer but I cannot obtain a `.profraw" file.

I have enabled -fprofile-instr-generate and -fcoverage-mapping in the BUILD.gn file.

I have tried the following so far

Hi, I managed to obtain the file following this documentation. The problem is that if I run the fuzzer with --fuzz it run forever even if I use --fuzz_for=3s so the profraw is never generated.

Any idea on how to solve it?

[lszekeres]

Thanks for flagging this!

You need to use either --fuzz or --fuzz_for, they are mutually exclusive.

We need to check and alert if both flags are set, or maybe we need to change the semantics so that they are not mutually exclusive.

[thealberto]

Hi @lszekeres , Happy to help. In my opinion they shouldn't be mutually exclusive so a user could decide which fuzztest to run and how long.

What do you think?

Thanks

[lszekeres]

Sorry, I misspoke, they can be combined:

https://github.com/google/fuzztest/blob/787fb76b34e7af3c059e5706439d790838abf4cc/fuzztest/init_fuzztest.cc#L57-L61

I initially understood that the problem was that when you use the two flags together the process doesn't stop. But I think that's not what you meant.

[thealberto]

No worries. In the end I now have coverage via the coverage.py file so

If I remember properly even with fuzz_for=3s the fuzztest didn't stop.

[thealberto]

@lszekeres , I had some time and I tried again.

I'm running the fuzzer in this way:

➜  src git:(ccbeb246d2fd) python3 tools/code_coverage/coverage.py vpx_custom_fuzzer \             
      -b out/asan -o out/report \
      -c 'out/asan/vpx_custom_fuzzer --fuzz= --fuzz_for=10s' -f third_party/libvpx

As output I have the following

FUZZTEST_PRNG_SEED=dYUrvZw8g1cSzbKjA6fHBn5d-C8RvzIjezvrE89-4K0
INFO: found LLVMFuzzerCustomMutator (0x556d774ddf00). Disabling -len_control by default.
INFO: libFuzzer ignores flags that start with '--'
INFO: Running with entropic power schedule (0xFF, 100).

Is it possible to pass some sort of timeout for the entire fuzzing process?

I have tried to find an option with no luck.

Thanks
