Qemu build issues on Ubuntu 19

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

There seems to be a problem with building QEMU while running Ubuntu 19 when setting up phuzzer.

   static int memfd_create(const char *name, unsigned int flags)
              ^~~~~~~~~~~~

  make: *** [/tmp/pip-req-build-r26yq_bw/bin/afl-unix/qemu_mode/qemu-2.10.0/rules.mak:66: util/memfd.o] Error 1

I’ve tried downgrading gcc and etc to 6.0 (was using 8.4 before), and same issue. It might be related to a similar issue in Avatar2: https://github.com/avatartwo/avatar2/issues/14.

To maybe help diagnose this would it be possible to know what distro and kernel verion phuzzer is being developed with? Thanks!

This issue seems to have to do with building the binaries for shellphish-afl and shellphish-qemu rather than the phuzzer package itself. This should be able to be bypassed by installing our wheels from the angr/wheels repo. I was able to get phuzzer installed in a 20.04 docker container like this:

FROM ubuntu:focal

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git

RUN git clone https://github.com/angr/angr-dev.git /root/angr-dev
WORKDIR /root/angr-dev

RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND="noninteractive" ./setup.sh -i -u

RUN pip3 install https://github.com/angr/wheels/blob/master/shellphish_afl-1.2.1-py2.py3-none-manylinux1_x86_64.whl?raw=true
RUN pip3 install https://github.com/angr/wheels/blob/master/shellphish_qemu-0.10.0-py3-none-manylinux1_x86_64.whl?raw=true

RUN ./setup.sh -u phuzzer

RUN python3 -c "import phuzzer; print('it works')"

This issue is related to shellphish-qemu and we have a workaround, so I’m going to consider this complete.
