I would have done a lot of useless work without your suggestion, thanks.

I use the latest version: afl-1.71b, and the fuzzing speed can reach 2200
exec/sec. Below are the detailed steps.

1. Install afl-1.71b

$ cd afl-1.71b
$ make && sudo make install
$ cd llvm_mode
$ make

There is an error on my computer and I have reported it to the afl-user
group. Even though there is an error, the afl-clang-fast can be generated
and we can ignore the error currently.

2. Change john.c

Next, insert the following global function declaration somewhere in the
source file:

void __afl_manual_init(void);

...and add a call to this function in the desired location before
recompiling
the project with afl-clang-fast (afl-gcc and afl-clang will *not* work).

Attachment is the patch that change john.c to fuzz faster.

3. Compile john

$ CC=/path/to/afl-clang-fast ./configure --disable-openmp
$ make

3.1 Can we instrumenting only necessary minimum ?

No, I tried but failed.

$ CC=clang ./configure && make && rm 7z_fmt_plug.o john.o
$ make CC=.../path/to/afl-clang-fast

There are a lot of compile errors.

3.2 Why disable openmp?

AFL can't clone thread easily. So we should disable thread before the
__afl_manual_init() function.

4. Fuzz

$ export AFL_DEFER_FORKSRV='1'
$ echo '[Options]' > local.conf
$ echo garbage > test_cases/test.pw
$ afl-fuzz -m none -i test_cases/ -o out ../john @@ --nolog
--skip-self-test --format=7z --config=local.conf

The exec speed is around 2200 exec/sec.

run time            : 0 days, 0 hrs, 23 min, 28 sec
cycles done      : 1
total paths        : 192
total execs        : 3.10M
exec speed      : 2185/sec
favored paths   : 25
new edges on  : 43


Thanks,

Kai
