Hi Moe,

Do you have anything to do with the syzkaller source code generation? (POC; reproducers)

I don't expect it to be beautiful, but it could be a lot easier to read in a few places.

E.g., the POC that you provided sets a tmpfs mount option string to
"mpol=prefer:,", which is probably purposely malformed (OK), but it does
so in an unreadable manner: (I added the // comments.)

memcpy((void*)0x20000340, "mpol", 4);
*(uint8_t*)0x20000344 = 0x3d; // =
memcpy((void*)0x20000345, "prefer", 6);
*(uint8_t*)0x2000034b = 0x3a; // :
*(uint8_t*)0x2000034c = 0x2c; // ,
*(uint8_t*)0x2000034d = 0;


That kind of obfuscation just helps slow down debugging. :(
