Fuzzing in Docker¶

Instructions¶

Build a fuzzer in order to use it. Follow the instructions at Build SOF with docker, Build topology and tools.
Enter the Docker container:
```
#To be run from sof/ directory
./scripts/docker-run.sh bash
```
A container is created from the sof Docker image. We are provided with a shell prompt. Let’s call this Terminal #1.

Connect to the container’s shell from another terminal.

To do this, you must first know the container ID.

docker ps

#Sample output
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
1c383e3c08ae        sof                 "bash"              4 minutes ago       Up 4 minutes                            objective_kilby

The first column of the output gives you the container ID.

To connect to the container’s shell, do the following:

docker exec -i -t container_id bash

This opens a shell prompt. Let’s call this Terminal #2.

Run the QEMU DSP VM in Terminal #1 by following instructions from Using the QEMU DSP emulator.
Run the sof-fuzzer built from Step 1. Run this in Terminal #2.

When you see FW boot complete in Terminal #2, the setup is complete.

Important notes¶

The platform should be the same for the QEMU DSP VM and the fuzzer.

Ex: If you run your QEMU DSP VM with the ‘byt’ platform, use the same platform when you run your fuzzer.
Make sure that you pass your kernel using the ‘-k’ flag in the QEMU DSP VM.
You must run the fuzzer and the QEMU DSP VM in the same container; otherwise they can’t communicate with each other!
