I'm merging in the ACCEPT bits of the REACT compiler work. This just consists of the instruction-level error injection LLVM pass. ACCEPT needs a few more pieces before it's useful off-the-shelf for error injection experiments.

  • Document liberror. We need to add documentation for the error-injection interface. We should also package up our current error-injector implementations for reuse (in a separate repository? in the master branch of accept-apps?).
  • liberror convenience. The error-injection hooks currently need to be compiled along with the application source code. This is currently handled in accept-apps by requiring the user to cp ../liberror/* . before compiling the code. We should make this easier by building the error-injection library to LLVM bytecode separately, as we do for the acceptrt library, and linking it in.
  • Error parameters in driver. The driver currently doesn't know how to use the instruction sites produces by the error injector. It should be able to use some kind of user-supplied specification of the parameter space. For example, our liberror uses a packed pair consisting of a 16-bit "model" id and another 16-bit parameter, whose meaning depends on the model. This specification should come hand-in-hand with the liberror implementation.
  • Simulated performance. The --simulate flag to the driver is a good start for disabling the performance-sensitive parts of ACCEPT (which are irrelevant when doing injection). But we also need to pick up a performance number produced by some arbitrary RUNSHIM, e.g., an architectural simulator or a Pintool.
