Summary:
Problem: PulseDomain.ml is pretty big, and contains lots of small
modules. The Infer build being a bit monolithic at the moment, it is
hard to split all these small modules off without creating some
confusion about which abstraction barries lay where. For instance, it's
fine to use `PulseDomain.ValueHistory` anywhere, but using `PulseDomain`
itself is sometimes bad when one should use `PulseAbductiveDomain`
instead.
Proposal: a poorman's library mechanism based on module aliasing. This
stack of diffs creates new Pulse* modules for all these small, safe to
use modules, together with `PulseBasicInterface.ml`, which aliases these
modules to remove the `Pulse` prefix. At the end of the stack, it will
contain:
```
module AbstractValue = PulseAbstractValue
module Attribute = PulseAttribute
module Attributes = PulseAttribute.Attributes
module CallEvent = PulseCallEvent
module Diagnostic = PulseDiagnostic
module Invalidation = PulseInvalidation
module Trace = PulseTrace
module ValueHistory = PulseValueHistory
```
This "interface" module can be opened in other pulse modules freely.

Summary:
Domain for thread-type. The main goals are
- Track code paths that are explicitly on UI thread (via annotations, or assertions).
- Maintain UI-thread-ness through the call stack (if a callee is on UI thread then the
trace any call site must be on the UI thread too).
- If we are not on the UI thread we assume we are on a background thread.
- Traces with "UI-thread" status cannot interleave but all other combinations can.
- We do not track other annotations (eg WorkerThread or AnyThread) as they can be
erroneously applied -- other checkers should catch those errors (annotation reachability).
- Top is AnyThread, and is used as the initial state for analysis.
Interestingly, by choosing the right strategy for choosing initial state and applying callee summaries gets rid of some false negatives in the tests even though we have not introduced any path sensitivity yet.

Summary:
bigmacro_bender
There are 3 ways pulse tracks history. This is at least one too many. So
far, we have:
1. "histories": a humble list of "events" like "assigned here", "returned from call", ...
2. "interproc actions": a structured nesting of calls with a final "action", eg "f calls g calls h which does blah"
3. "traces", which combine one history with one interproc action
This diff gets rid of interproc actions and makes histories include
"nested" callee histories too. This allows pulse to track and display
how a value got assigned across function calls.
Traces are now more powerful and interleave histories and interproc
actions. This allows pulse to track how a value is fed into an action,
for instance performed in callee, which itself creates some more
(potentially now interprocedural) history before going to the next step
of the action (either another call or the action itself).
This gives much better traces, and some examples are added to showcase
this.
There are a lot of changes when applying summaries to keep track of
histories more accurately than was done before, but also a few
simplifications that give additional evidence that this is the right
concept.

Summary:
Java method annotations are ambiguous in that there is no difference between
annotating the return value of a method, and annotating the method itself.
The disambiguation is done entirely based on the meaning of the annotation.
Here, while `UiThread`/`MainThread` are genuine method/class annotations
and not return annotations, the reverse is true for `ForUiThread`/`ForNonUiThread`.
This means that these latter annotations do not determine the thread status of
the method they are attached to.
Here we fix that misunderstanding.

Summary:
Eventually thread status will be stored inside every critical pair so as to allow path sensitivity. That means that the status can no longer be a whole trace, as this will quickly become intractable, because each domain element would have to maintain its own trace as well as its own thread-status trace.
This is not great, as we lose information here, but I don't see any other way around it that is not super complicated/costly (sharing will be limited when moving from callee to caller).
Other diffs up the stack will clean up infrastructure no longer used meaningfully (ie models and domains).

Summary:
This diff adopts an array length evaluation function that is conservative. It is useful when our
domain cannot express length result precisely.
For example, suppose there is an array pointer `arr_locs` that may point to two arrays `a` and `b`,
and their lengths are `a.length` and `b.length` (symbols), respectively. Using the usual
evaluation, our current domain cannot express `a.length join b.length` (join of two symbolic
values), so it returns top.
In this case, we can use the conservative function intead. It evaluates the length as `[0,
a.length.ub + b.length.ub]`, since we know every array length is positive. The result is not
precise, but better than top.

Summary:
Previously, the LLVM semantics could be stuck where the LLAIR semantics
was not yet stuck, but would become stuck (at the same place) after
taking a step. This was due to LLVM using the traditional definition of
stuck states: any state from which there are no transitions. However,
LLAIR cannot do that because it might get stuck in the middle of a block
that contains several visible stores. We don't want to consider the
whole block stuck, nor can we finish it. Thus, the LLAIR definition of
stuckness is when the state has the stuck flag set which happens when
stopping in the middle of a block after encountering a stuck
instruction. Now LLVM takes the same approach.

Summary:
Add an argument to the Exit instruction. Update the LLVM semantics to
execute the Exit instruction and store the result in an "exited"
component of the state. (Previously it just noticed that it was stuck
about to do an Exit.)
With exiting treated uniformly, now in the proof that for every LLVM
trace, there is a llair trace that simulates it, all of the cheats
except for 1 are just cases that I haven't got to yet. However, the last
cheat is for the situation where the LLVM program gets stuck and the
llair program doesn't. For example, the following two line LLVM program
gets stuck because r2 is not assigned (ignoring for the moment the static
restriction that LLVM is in SSA form).
r1 := r2
Exit(0)
The compilation to llair omits the assignment and so we get a llair
program that doesn't get stuck:
Exit(0)
The key question is whether the static restrictions are sufficient to
ensure that no expression that might be omitted can get stuck.

Summary:
If the LLVM to llair translation keeps a mapping from register r to
expression e, then for each register r' mentioned in e, there must be an
assignment to r' that dominates the entire live range of r. Thus, where
ever r might be replaced by e, the value of r' will be the same as it
was when the initial assignment to r occurred. Maintaining this
invariant relies on the LLVM being in SSA form.

Summary:
This is work in progress; many of the cheats aren't true. In particular,
the definition of stuck/complete/partial traces in LLVM and llair don't
quite match up and need some modification. Also, the state relation
isn't strong enough; it will need to include information about registers
used in the expressions of the LLVM register to llair expression
mapping. But the overall shape of the proof is ok and so it can be
used to poke at various local aspects of the translation, such as
individual instructions.

When we make the decision to go into a branch "v = N" where some

equality. This allows to prune simple infeasible paths
intra-procedurally.
Further work is needed to make this useful interprocedurally, for
instance either or both of these ideas could be explored:
- abduce v=N in the precondition and do not apply summaries when the
equalities in the pre are not satisfied
- prune post-conditions that lead to unsat states where a value has to
be equal to several different constants

In a way, attributes are already our "pure" part in the "formulas" that
are pulse abstract domains, so this is reminiscent of existing
separation logic implementations. Trying to add values directly in the
"heap" part proved very cumbersome whereas this approach is very simple,
allowing us to ignore values most of the time except when we actually
