This prevents functions like this from being created: Instead they are displayed as jump table data like so: |
`LC_FUNCTION_STARTS` includes both functions and jump tables. We want to avoid calling `AddFunctionForAnalysis` on jump tables since it can result in a function being created at the jump table's location with a bogus body. We already skip adding functions for entries in `LC_FUNCTION_STARTS` if the lifting of their first few bytes end up including `LLIL_UNDEF`. However, arm64 intentionally lifts `udf` instructions (i.e., opcodes in the Permanently Undefined range) to `LLIL_TRAP` in order to preserve the immediate portion of the instruction. To address this, `MachoView::IsValidFunctionStart` now returns false if the first lifted instruction is `LLIL_TRAP` in addition to when the lifting contains `LLIL_UNDEF`.
