the microdump. The microdump OS/arch line looks like:
O A arm 04 armv7l 3.4.0-perf-g4d6e88e #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 30 19:09:30 2015
and currently the field that says "armv7l" or "aarch64" is being used
to fill in the CPU arch field in crash. The problem is that on a
64-bit device this field *always* says "aarch64" even when running in
a 32-bit process, and so currently the crash reports for aarch64 are
a mix of 32-bit and 64-bit crashes. We should be using the first field
instead, which just says "arm" or "arm64" and reflects the actual
version of webview (32-bit or 64-bit) which is running.

If a crash occurred as a result to a write to unwritable memory, it is reason
to suggest exploitability. The processor checks for a bad write by
disassembling the command that caused the crash by piping the raw bytes near
the instruction pointer through objdump. This allows the processor to see if
the instruction that caused the crash is a write to memory and where the
target of the address is located.

Android's sys/user.h is missing user_regs_struct and user_fpsimd_struct.
Add them to the Android specific user.h used by breakpad to workaround
Android / glibc compatibility issues.
A bug has been filed on the Android NDK team to add the missing structures to
the NDK, at which point this hack can be removed.
Also remove the mxcsr_mask hack on x64, which is no longer required since
we have moved to the r10d NDK which fixes this issue.

The PopSeccompStackFrame was introduced to deal with stack frames
originated in the legacy seccomp sandbox. The only user of that
sandbox was Google Chrome, but the legacy sandbox has been
deprecated in 2013 (crrev.com/1290643003) in favor of the new
bpf sandbox.
Removing this dead code as it has some small bound checking bug
which causes occasional crashes in WebView (which are totally
unrelated to the sandbox).
Note: this will require a corresponding change in the chromium
GYP/GN build files to roll.

So far the microdump_writer dumped the log in logcat using the default
system log. This is simple to achieve but has some drawbacks:
1. Creates spam in the system log, pushing back other eventual useful
messages.
2. There is a high chance that the microdump gets lost if some log
spam storm happens immediately after a crash and before the log
is collected by the feedback client.
3. Since Android L, the logger is smartly throttling messages (to
reduce logcat spam). Throttling brekpad logs defeats the all
point of microdumps.
This change is conceptually very simple. Replace the use of
__android_log_write() with __android_log_buf_write(), which takes
an extra bufID argument. The main drawback is that the
__android_log_buf_write is not exported in the NDK and needs to be
dynamically looked up via dlsym.
This choice has been discussed and advocated by Android owners.

If a MinidumpLinuxMapsList was created and destroyed without its Read method,
the program would have a segmentation fault because the destructor did not

when checking exploitability rating.
Linux minidumps do not support MD_MEMORY_INFO_LIST_STREAM, meaning the
processor cannot retrieve its memory mappings. However, it has its own
stream, MD_LINUX_MAPS, which contains memory mappings specific to Linux
(it contains the contents of /proc/self/maps). This CL allows the minidump
to gather information from the memory mappings for Linux minidumps.
In addition, exploitability rating for Linux dumps now use memory mappings
instead of checking the ELF headers of binaries. The basis for the change
is that checking the ELF headers requires the minidumps to store the memory
from the ELF headers, while the memory mapping data is already present,
meaning the size of a minidump will be unchanged.
As a result, of removing ELF header analysis, two unit tests have been removed.
Arguably, the cases that those unit tests check do not merit a high
exploitability rating and do not warrant a solid conclusion that was given
earlier.

The thread info expects the struct names as they expect in asm/ptrace.h,
but the header doesn't include that, it includes sys/user.h. Rename the
reg structs to match that header.
Rename the elf_siginfo to _elf_siginfo to avoid conflicting with the one
in the sys/procfs.h. It is only used locally in one place, so we don't
need to update any callers.
Otherwise, drop in aarch64 support into the minidump-2-core file.

When LLVM sees an attempt to dereference a NULL pointer, it will generate
invalid opcodes (undefined behavior) which leads to SIGILL which breaks
this unittest. Upstream's recommendation in this case is to add volatile
markings to get the actual dereference to happen.

If the minidump module containing the instruction pointer has memory
containing the ELF header and program header table, when checking the
exploitability rating, the processor will use the ELF header data to determine
if the instruction pointer lies in an executable region of the module, rather
than just checking if it lies in a module.

When I first added the exception whitelist, I meant to put the check before
checking the location of the instruction pointer. (I didn't notice that it
was after the other check until now.) The whitelist check is to quickly rule
out minidumps, and if checking the instruction pointer provided any useful
information, it would be pretty indicative that the exception causing the
dump is interesting.

end addr calculated by the breakpad processor does not alter.

in valid code for Linux exploitability rating.
This CL adds to the Linux exploitability checker by verifying that the
instruction pointer is in valid code. Verification is done by obtaining a
memory mapping of the crash and checking if the instruction pointer lies in
an executable region. If there is no memory mapping, the instruction pointer
is checked to determine if it lies within a known module.

The current code is relying on info->si_pid to figure out whether
the exception handler was triggered by a signal coming from the kernel
(that will re-trigger until the cause that triggered the signal has
been cleared) or from user-space e.g., kill -SIGNAL pid, which will NOT
automatically re-trigger in the next signal handler in the chain.
While the intentions are good (manually re-triggering user-space
signals), the current implementation mistakenly looks at the si_pid
field in siginfo_t, assuming that it is coming from the kernel if
si_pid == 0.
This is wrong. siginfo_t, in fact, is a union and si_pid is meaningful
only for userspace signals. For signals originated by the kernel,
instead, si_pid overlaps with si_addr (the faulting address).
As a matter of facts, the current implementation is mistakenly
re-triggering the signal using tgkill for most of the kernel-space
signals (unless the fault address is exactly 0x0).
This is not completelly correct for the case of SIGSEGV/SIGBUS. The
next handler in the chain will stil see the signal, but the |siginfo|
and the |context| arguments of the handler will be meaningless
(retriggering a signal with tgkill doesn't preserve them).
Therefore, if the next handler in the chain expects those arguments
to be set, it will fail.
Concretelly, this is causing problems to WebView. In some rare
circumstances, the next handler in the chain is a user-space runtime
which does SIGSEGV handling to implement speculative null pointer
managed exceptions (see as an example
http://www.mono-project.com/docs/advanced/runtime/docs/exception-handling/)
The fix herein proposed consists in using the si_code (see SI_FROMUSER
macros) to determine whether a signal is coming form the kernel
(and therefore just re-establish the next signal handler) or from
userspace (and use the tgkill logic).
Repro case:
This issue is visible in Chrome for Android with this simple repro case:
- Add a non-null pointer dereference in the codebase:
*((volatile int*)0xbeef) = 42
Without this change: the next handler (the libc trap) prints:
F/libc ( 595): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1, fault addr 0x487
where 0x487 is actually the PID of the process (which is wrong).
With this change: the next handler prints:
F/libc ( 595): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1, fault addr 0xbeef

Shared libraries containing Android packed relocations have a load
bias that differs from the start address in /proc/$$/maps. Current
breakpad assumes that the load bias and mapping start address are
the same.
Fixed by changing the client to detect the presence of Android packed
relocations in the address space of a loaded library, and adjusting the
stored mapping start address of any that are packed so that it contains
the linker's load bias.
For this to work properly, it is important that the non-packed library
is symbolized for breakpad. Either packed or non-packed libraries may
be run on the device; the client detects which has been loaded by the
linker.

This is to add build fingerprint and product name/version to

with MIME fields, due to the nature of minidumps, extra metadata
