thread 'main' panicked at 'No rankings in rankings.json', root_cause_analysis/src/rankings.rs:26:5

[c01dkit]

Hi Aurora team,

I came across a panic thread 'main' panicked at 'No rankings in rankings.json', root_cause_analysis/src/rankings.rs:26:5 when running the command cargo run --release --bin rca -- --eval-dir $EVAL_DIR --trace-dir $EVAL_DIR --monitor --rank-predicates in README file.

Here is how I build the system: In a docker running Ubuntu 18.04, I follow the README instructions for Preparation, Tracing, and Root Cause Analysis sections. For a quick testing, I simply unzip the example.zip, setup the $EVAL_DIR and copy the crashes and non_crashes dirs into it. At first, the same problem occurs as #8. So I switched to the develop branch. Then a panic of thread 'main' panicked at 'No rankings in rankings.json', root_cause_analysis/src/rankings.rs:26:5 occurs, when running cargo run --release --bin rca -- --eval-dir $EVAL_DIR --trace-dir $EVAL_DIR --monitor --rank-predicates

Here is the full backtrace:

Finally I found that it is the panic thread 'main' panicked at 'failed to read memory: Sys(EPERM)', predicate_monitoring/src/lib.rs:24:55 in /home/user/aurora/root_cause_analysis/predicate_monitoring/src/lib.rs.

In $EVAL_DIR, the addresses.json, mnemonics.json, predicates.json, scores_linear_serialized.json and scores_linear.csv files are all not empty. The $EVAL_DIR/traces directory is also properly filled with *.zip files in $EVAL_DIR/traces/crashes and $EVAL_DIR/traces/non_crashes. The content in $EVAL_DIR/traces/stat.txt is:

STATS: traced 5991/5991 files in 1733.535923242569s with 160 cores for /home/user/aurora/evaluation_origin/inputs

However, the ranking.json is simply filled with "[]". It really confuses me a lot.

Could you please give me some advice? We would be grateful for any guidance you can offer.
