Alex Crichton b73b831892 Replace binaryen -ttf based fuzzing with wasm-smith (#2336)
This commit removes the binaryen support for fuzzing from wasmtime,
instead switching over to `wasm-smith`. In general it's great to have
what fuzzing we can, but our binaryen support suffers from a few issues:

* The Rust crate, binaryen-sys, seems largely unmaintained at this
  point. While we could likely take ownership and/or send PRs to update
  the crate it seems like the maintenance is largely on us at this point.

* Currently the binaryen-sys crate doesn't support fuzzing anything
  beyond MVP wasm, but we're interested at least in features like bulk
  memory and reference types. Additionally we'll also be interested in
  features like module-linking. New features would require either
  implementation work in binaryen or the binaryen-sys crate to support.

* We have 4-5 fuzz-bugs right now related to timeouts simply in
  generating a module for wasmtime to fuzz. One investigation along
  these lines in the past revealed a bug in binaryen itself, and in any
  case these bugs would otherwise need to get investigated, reported,
  and possibly fixed ourselves in upstream binaryen.

Overall I'm not sure at this point if maintaining binaryen fuzzing is
worth it with the advent of `wasm-smith` which has similar goals for
wasm module generation, but is much more readily maintainable on our
end.

Additonally in this commit I've added a fuzzer for wasm-smith's
`SwarmConfig`-based fuzzer which should expand the coverage of tested
modules.

cargo fuzz Targets for Wasmtime

This crate defines various libFuzzer fuzzing targets for Wasmtime, which can be run via cargo fuzz.

These fuzz targets just glue together pre-defined test case generators with oracles and pass libFuzzer-provided inputs to them. The test case generators and oracles themselves are independent from the fuzzing engine that is driving the fuzzing process and are defined in wasmtime/crates/fuzzing.

Example

To start fuzzing run the following command, where $MY_FUZZ_TARGET is one of the available fuzz targets:

cargo fuzz run $MY_FUZZ_TARGET

Available Fuzz Targets

At the time of writing, we have the following fuzz targets:

  • compile: Attempt to compile libFuzzer's raw input bytes with Wasmtime.
  • instantiate: Attempt to compile and instantiate libFuzzer's raw input bytes with Wasmtime.
  • instantiate_translated: Pass libFuzzer's input bytes to wasm-opt -ttf to generate a random, valid Wasm module, and then attempt to instantiate it.

The canonical list of fuzz targets is the .rs files in the fuzz_targets directory:

ls wasmtime/fuzz/fuzz_targets/

Corpora

While you can start from scratch, libFuzzer will work better if it is given a corpus of seed inputs to kick start the fuzzing process. We maintain a corpus for each of these fuzz targets in a dedicated repo on github.

You can use our corpora by cloning it and placing it at wasmtime/fuzz/corpus:

git clone \
    https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime-libfuzzer-corpus.git \
