The question for me is, whether sysbot can detect hash collision with different
syz-program lines before writing the hash value to /dev/kmsg, and retry by modifying
syz-program lines in order to get a new hash value until collision is avoided.
If it is difficult, simpler choice like current Unix time and PID could be used
instead...
Hummm, say, if you run syz-manager locally and report a bug, where
will the webserver and database that allows to download all satellite
info work? How long you need to keep this info and provide the web
service? You will also need to pay and maintain the server for... how
long? I don't see how this can work and how we can ask people to do
this. This frankly looks like overly complex solution to a problem
were simpler solutions will work. Keeping all info in a self-contained
file looks like the only option to make it work reliably.
It's also not possible to attribute kernel output to individual programs.
The first messages I want to look at is kernel output. Then, I look at
syz-program lines as needed. But current "a self-contained file" is
hard to find kernel output. Even if we keep both kernel output and
syz-program lines in a single file, we can improve readability by
splitting into kernel output section and syz-program section.
