2025-05-21[SharedCache] Fix .dylddata sections failing to propagate constantsMason Reed
This occurred because prior to the change made in build `7484` we short-circuited when the pointer pointed to a read only segment, now that we consult the section the sections semantics were incorrect and failed, this fixes the dyld data sections to have correct semantics.

named workflow Activities are registered with a `viewType` predicate to ensure they only run in shared cache views. Adding activities to `core.function.metaAnalysis` lets activities registered by plug-ins run in the shared cache without the plug-ins having to be aware of the shared cache. Work towards #6779.
2025-05-03[SharedCache] Avoid reading header fields outside of the bounds of the headerDaniel Roethlisberger

2025-04-14[SharedCache] Evict file accessors from the global file accessor cache on ↵Mason Reed
file metadata destruction Previously we would just let them continue to exist after view destruction, this is fine assuming we expect the user to be re-opening the same cache over and over, but if a user wants to load a bunch of different caches they might want to evict the old file accessors so that COW pages are known to be evicted, along with other paged in memory.
2025-04-14[SharedCache] Fix overzealous alert about missing shared cache entriesMason Reed
Following the conversation in https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/issues/6631 we are going to make the edited alerts warnings and then also fix the warning showing on certain shared caches even when all entries are present.
2025-04-14[SharedCache] Allow project databases to be stored in a separate folderMason Reed
However the primary file will need to be selected each time you open, for that to be resolved we need to use project file UUID's or the cache entry UUID's themselves to traverse all project files
2025-04-14[SharedCache] Improve the gathering of cache entries in view initMason Reed
This commit addresses some of the issues regarding the retrieval of cache entries during view init, we now will try and store information in the database about the given shared cache entries so that we can better alert the user to possible issues during the loading of saved shared cache databases. We also simplified the logic so that the flow for retrieving the primary file cache is easier and users should be prompted when necessary to select the primary cache file if we cannot. More errors will also be shown to provide the users with more information about the shared cache and what issues they might have. For example we will now try and warn the users when they are opening a shared cache with less entries than what the shared cache reports having. We will also warn the users when opening a database if a previous secondary cache file is no longer available. In the future we can also utilize the shared cache UUID's for individual files to do a more aggressive search across directories in a project. This will make the file name lookup stuff potentially unnecessary, at least when opening a database with all file UUID's stored.
2025-04-14[SharedCache] Skip processing .atlas filesMason Reed
The atlas files include section name info on images, its not helpful for us and skipping it altogether will remove an unneeded error related to parsing this other format

- Make `SharedCache::m_entries` a simple std::vector we never lookup based off the entry ID - Remove some old comments - Rename some old variables so that they are accurate - Fix compiler warnings - Remove some unneeded copying
2025-04-14[SharedCache] Bubble up errors in `CacheEntry::FromFile` to the userMason Reed
Prior to this we would not have meaningful errors shown to the user when we fail to construct a CacheEntry from a file. Apart of trying to make the opening of shared caches clearer.

2025-04-10[SharedCache] Make the shared cache file lookup more straightforwardMason Reed
We already had separated this part out into the `CacheProcessor` but its more like a builder than anything, so this refactors that out into a `SharedCacheBuilder`. - Separate out the `CacheProcessor` and simplify its implementation - Move more implementation specific stuff to the shared cache view - Prepare for more validation of the shared cache to detect irregular or incomplete shared cache information - Deduplicate a lot of file vs. project file lookup stuff - Stop copying all images when getting the number of images to log - Allow user to select another directory to scan for shared cache files, might make this a warning instead to prevent users from relying on this behavior We will likely follow this commit up soon with better open behavior, maybe open with options can specify a list of cache entry files? Shouldn't be too much effort aside from making the UI modal for that.

2025-04-08Remove notion of image name from objective-c processorMason Reed
This made the macho objective-c processor aware of images and was passed around everywhere, instead we have an overridable section getter that gives the control over the section retrieval to the derived processor. In the case of shared cache this means we can store the image to be processed and then use the header to locate the relevant sections. Fixes: https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/issues/6594
2025-04-07[SharedCache] Include segment in image section nameMason Reed
This removes some section name collisions where a section name is in two separate image segments. See https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/pull/6454 for more information. Co-Authored-By: WeiN76LQh <WeiN76LQh@github.com>
2025-04-07[SharedCache] Respect workflow override on shared cache databasesMason Reed
Fixes: https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/issues/6571
2025-04-07[SharedCache] Don't process shared cache when view is not file backedMason Reed
This fixes a case where the remote file is downloaded and the shared cache view is selected, we _only_ work for file backed views, as our shared cache specific file accessors work on those. So this is not a loss in functionality. In the future if we wanted to load shared caches without touching disk (yikes) than we would need to remove this restriction, or provide a way in the API for user to process their own cache entries (after view init).
2025-04-07[SharedCache] Allow the user to select the original shared cache file on diskMason Reed
This gives the user the ability to take a database with no original file path continue processing entries with the user supplied base file. This also will set the original file path for future loads, we might want to make that optional. And the behavior with remote projects for that might be undesired.
2025-04-07[SharedCache] Resolve original file path and name from project database fileMason Reed
Fixes https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/issues/6582 More considerations might need to be made for databases saved without the original file path. Likely solved through some shared cache specific metadata.
2025-04-06[SharedCache] Add mutex to guard `m_namedSymbols`Mason Reed
It is modified on a worker thread so if a user tries to call `GetSymbolWithName` after view init but before the processing on the worker thread finishes, there would have been issues!

slide info This improves performance by ~10x with the only real issue being a copy of the cache entry existing for each weak ref. Also fixes - Some old TODO's that are no longer relevant - Some function signatures not being const - FileAccessorCache not evicting enough accessors to fit under an adjusted cache size - Added a warning if we are over the global cache size in view initialization - Logger name not having a `.` in `SlideInfoProcessor::SlideInfoProcessor` - Re-added the accessor dirty check before applying slide info to fix https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/issues/6570
2025-04-06[SharedCache] Prevent all functions from being queued up for reanalysis when ↵Mason Reed
adding new images and regions Within the user section creation we will assume that because a non-default section was added, we should mark all functions for reanalysis. From initial testing this isn't an extreme slowdown, but with the addition of more images the number of queued up functions becomes much greater, even if those are unmarked immediately and processing of those functions isn't slow it is unneeded and might lead to other non-obvious slowdowns. To be clear, we do not need to queue up functions from already analyzed images to be analyzed again, there is no benefit, our workflow handles cross images calls already, so those places will already be queued up, and if they aren't, that is the issue to solve, not this.
2025-04-06[SharedCache] Add a named symbol mapMason Reed
Fixes https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/issues/6561 - Also tightens the SharedCache class to move only, to prevent accidental copies. - Also removes some extra copies in FFI when should pass by ref - Also adds `get_symbol_with_name` to python API The current named symbol map is populated in a worker thread spawned in the view init. This is because populating the map can take about 1 second. If we are fine with another 1 second added to the view init time then we can add it serially but I don't think this way is _that_ bad, no analysis consults this, however a user might add a workflow that would be racing this. So we need to add a mutex.
2025-04-03[SharedCache] Log the time it takes to load initial images in the viewMason Reed
2025-04-03[SharedCache] Fix detection of the class name of categoriesMark Rowe
The logic for determining the class name of a category did not correctly handle classes defined in other images in the shared cache. There were two problems: 1. If the class is defined in another image that is already loaded, `ObjCProcessor` has already renamed the symbol from `_OBJC_CLASS_$_` to `cls_`. Both forms of symbol name are now handled. 2. If the class is defined in an image that is not yet loaded, no symbol name is available. The category's class is now looked up in the shared cache symbol table, and the symbol's name is parsed as if it were an import symbol. This fixes almost all cases of "Failed to determine base classname for category" that I have come across. Mason Reed: Fixed up to make objective-c processor always consult GetSymbol
