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. # Kernel output section start [$(uptime)][$(caller_info)] executing program #0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef [$(uptime)][$(caller_info)] $(kernel_messages_caused_by_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef_are_here) [$(uptime)][$(caller_info)] executing program #456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123 [$(uptime)][$(caller_info)] $(kernel_messages_caused_by_456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123_and_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef_are_here) [$(uptime)][$(caller_info)] executing program #89abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567 [$(uptime)][$(caller_info)] $(kernel_messages_caused_by_89abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567_456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123_and_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef_are_here) [$(uptime)][$(caller_info)] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at $(address) [$(uptime)][$(caller_info)] CPU: $(cpu) PID: $(pid) Comm: syz#89abcdef0123 Not tainted $(version) #$(build) [$(uptime)][$(caller_info)] $(backtrace_of_caller_info_is_here) [$(uptime)][$(caller_info)] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception # Kernel output section end # syzbot code section start Program for #0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef $(program_lines_for_0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef_is_here) Program for #456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123 $(program_lines_for_456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123_is_here) Program for #89abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567 $(program_lines_for_89abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567_is_here) # syzbot code section end
