The three transformer map fields are now very well documented, which was
badly needed for anyone trying to understand the source code.
ignoreObjects is also a better field name than blacklist, as it says
what the map is indexed by (types.Object) and what we do with those:
ignore them when we obfuscate code.
The rewriting of go:linkname directives is moved to a separate func, so
that we can name that func from the docs.
Finally, the docs are overall improved a bit, as I was re-tracing all
the pieces of code that used the ambiguous "blacklist" terminology.
Fixes#169.
The first bug fixed is not garbling package names that don't contain any code. For example, given the import path "github.com/foo/bar", "github.com" was treated as a package name that should be garbled, which doesn't make sense.
The other bug was incorrectly matching private package names inside import paths. Before, if "internal" was an imported package matched by GOPRIVATE, but "internal/foo" was not, any instance of "internal/foo" would still be garbled as "<garbled>/foo", which is incorrect.
Previously garble heavily used env vars to share data between processes.
This also makes it easy to share complex data between processes.
The complexity of main.go is considerably reduced.
The previous globals worked, but were unnecessarily complex. For
example, we passed the fromPath variable around, but it's really a
static global, since we only compile or link a single package in each Go
process. Use such global variables instead of passing them around, which
currently include the package's import path, its build ID, and its
import config path.
Also split all the hashing and build ID code into hash.go, since that's
a relatively well contained 200 lines of code that doesn't need to make
main.go any bigger. We also split the code to alter Go's own version to
a separate function, so that it can be moved out of main.go as well.
* Use latest Binject/debug version to support importmap directives in the importcfg file
* Uncomment line in goprivate testscript to test ImportMap
* Fixed issue where a package in specified in importmap would be hashed differently in a package that imported it, due to the mapping of import paths.
Also commented out the 'net' import in the goprivate testscript (again) due to cgo compile errors
As per the discussion in https://github.com/golang/go/issues/41145, it
turns out that we don't need special support for build caching in
-toolexec. We can simply modify the behavior of "[...]/compile -V=full"
and "[...]/link -V=full" so that they include garble's own version and
options in the printed build ID.
The part of the build ID that matters is the last, since it's the
"content ID" which is used to work out whether there is a need to redo
the action (build) or not. Since cmd/go parses the last word in the
output as "buildID=...", we simply add "+garble buildID=_/_/_/${hash}".
The slashes let us imitate a full binary build ID, but we assume that
the other components such as the action ID are not necessary, since the
only reader here is cmd/go and it only consumes the content ID.
The reported content ID includes the tool's original content ID,
garble's own content ID from the built binary, and the garble options
which modify how we obfuscate code. If any of the three changes, we
should use a different build cache key. GOPRIVATE also affects caching,
since a different GOPRIVATE value means that we might have to garble a
different set of packages.
Include tests, which mainly check that 'garble build -v' prints package
lines when we expect to always need to rebuild packages, and that it
prints nothing when we should be reusing the build cache even when the
built binary is missing.
After this change, 'go test' on Go 1.15.2 stabilizes at about 8s on my
machine, whereas it used to be at around 25s before.
What obfuscateImports did was valid, but unfortunately made the build
cache redo work. This is because we were modifying object files in-place
in the build cache, meaning that the Go tool would think it had to
re-compile those packages.
Instead, write the modified object files in a temporary directory, and
leave the input object files untouched. We require a bit of extra code
to keep track of this and adjust the link argument as well as its
importcfg file.
The function of obfuscateImports, as well as the reasoning above, is now
summarized in its godoc as well.
This should be the last change in preparation for proper build caching
support. Rebasing the build caching branch on this commit finally makes
caching work reliably every single time.
We now store how we obfuscated unexported names in the object file
itself, not a separate file. This means that the data can survive in the
build cache, whereas the separate file was being lost. Luckily, we can
just add an extra header to the archive, and other programs like the Go
linker will just ignore it.
Many files were missing copyright, so also add a short script to add the
missing lines with the current year, and run it.
The AUTHORS file is also self-explanatory. Contributors can add
themselves there, or we can simply update it from time to time via
git-shortlog.
Since we have two scripts now, set up a directory for them.
Rework the features section in the README, leaving optional features at
the end of the list. Simplify the caveats list, too; the build cache and
exported field/method bits only need one point each. Overall, the
section was far too wordy for little reason.
Also redo the help text a bit. There's now a line to briefly introduce
the tool, as well as a link to the README with all the details. Finally,
the flags have shorter and more consistent help strings.
While at it, remove two unused global vars as spotted by staticcheck.
Finally, finally this is done. This allows import paths to be obfuscated by modifying
object/archive files and garbling import paths contained within. The bulk of the
code that makes parsing and writing Go object/archive files possible lives at
https://github.com/Binject/debug/tree/master/goobj2, which I wrote as well.
I have tested by garbling and checking for import paths via strings and grep
(in order of difficulty) https://github.com/lu4p/binclude, garble itself, and
https://github.com/dominikh/go-tools/tree/master/cmd/staticcheck.
This only supports object/archive files produced from the Go 1.15 compiler.
The object file format changed at 1.15, and 1.14 and earlier is not supported.
Fixes#13.
