I was having limited success fuzzing locally because apparently the fuzzer was spawning too many threads. Looking into it that indeed appears to be the case! The threads which time out runtime of wasm only exit after the sleep has completely finished, meaning that if we execute a ton of wasm that exits quickly each run will generate a sleeping thread. This commit fixes the issue by using some synchronization to ensure the sleeping thread exits when our fuzzed run also exits.
Fuzzing Infrastructure for Wasmtime
This crate provides test case generators and oracles for use with fuzzing.
These generators and oracles are generally independent of the fuzzing engine
that might be using them and driving the whole fuzzing process (e.g. libFuzzer
or AFL). As such, this crate does not contain any actual fuzz targets
itself. Those are generally just a couple lines of glue code that plug raw input
from (for example) libFuzzer into a generator, and then run one or more
oracles on the generated test case.
If you're looking for the actual fuzz target definitions we currently have, they
live in wasmtime/fuzz/fuzz_targets/* and are driven by cargo fuzz and
libFuzzer.
