Yet another attempt to address the problem.

The changes may conflict with #4905 a bit, but the changes to the conflicting files here are actually minimal possible, so we should be able to easily rebase these PRs either way.

TODO:

  • Finish debugging.
  • Integrate with the syz-manager web UI.

Track the crash rate for the individual syscalls and rate limit the execution of those which happen too often.

For determining the most unsafe syscalls, let's keep a sliding window of the last executed progs on every instance.

  • If a program has been evicted from the sliding window, it's safe enough.
  • If an instance crashed, all programs in the window are under suspicion.

For preventing the execution of banned syscalls, let's add a special (skip) call parameter that is understood by the executor.

The parameter is not supposed to leak into the corpus, so add appropriate assertions.
