last_avg_execs should be 64bit, same as total_execs, otherwise there is an overflow once total_execs reaches 2^32. Which can happen in practice for long-running fuzzing campaigns.
This change is to disable the GCC plugin version check for
GCC plugin and CMPLOG, to overcome the issues with incompatability
with expected GCC version and actual GCC version used to compile
using `AFL_GCC_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK` environment variable.
Use the __builtin_popcount intrinsic to optimize the bit counting
function if the compiler supports it. This change replaces the manual
bit counting algorithm with the more efficient built-in function, which
leverages hardware support on compatible processors.
This modification ensures that the code remains backward-compatible by
falling back to the original implementation when __builtin_popcount is
not available.
With CODE_COVERAGE builds, we need to collect the coverage data of each
iteration in a persistant buffer that has the same size as the regular
trace buffer used for fuzzing. We dump this information at the end of
the run and when combined with pointer data and module info, this can be
used to calculate code coverage.
