Having an exception of interest makes the resultant minidumps look just like
crash dumps, in that the processor can identify the "crashing" tread.
This means such minidumps can be classified by the stack signature, in contrast to the current state of things, in which all such dumps get lumped on a single pile.

This patch allows the Breakpad minidump processor to use data from
STACK CFI records to generate stack traces for the ARM processor.
In the symbol dumper, we need a table mapping DWARF CFI register
numbers to their names: STACK CFI records refer to registers by name.
In the processor, we expand StackwalkerARM::GetCallerFrame to see if
there are STACK CFI records covering the callee, and then use those to
recover the caller's register values.
There's no good reason the ARM walker couldn't use the SimpleCFIWalker
interface declared in cfi_frame_info.h. Unfortunately, that interface
assumes that one can map register names to member pointers of the raw
context type, while MDRawContextARM uses an array to hold the
registers' values: C++ pointer-to-member types can't refer to elements
of member arrays. So we have to write out SimpleCFIWalker::FindCallerRegisters
in StackwalkerARM::GetCallerFrame.
We define enum MDARMRegisterNumbers in minidump_cpu_arm.h, for
convenience in referring to certain ARM registers with dedicated
purposes, like the stack pointer and the PC.
We define validity flags in StackFrameARM for all the registers, since
CFI could theoretically recover any of them. In the same vein, we
expand minidump_stackwalk.cc to print the values of all valid
callee-saves registers in the context --- and use the proper names for
special-purpose registers.
We provide unit tests that give full code and branch coverage (with
minor exceptions). We add a testing interface to StackwalkerARM that
allows us to create context frames that lack some register values.

CallFrameInfo can parse it, DwarfCFIToModule should be able to handle

As explained in the code:
Given the right options, the GNU toolchain will omit unreferenced
functions from the final executable. Unfortunately, when it does so,
it does not remove the associated portions of the line number program;
instead, it lets the symbol references in the DW_LNE_set_address
instructions pointing to the now-deleted code resolve to zero. Given
this input, the DWARF line parser will call AddLine with a series of
lines starting at address zero.
Rather than collecting series of lines describing code that is not
there, we should drop them. Since the linker doesn't explicitly
distinguish references to dropped sections from genuine references to
zero, we must use a heuristic. We have chosen:
- If a line starts at address zero, omit it. (On the platforms
breakpad targets, it is extremely unlikely that there will be code
at address zero.)
- If a line starts immediately after an omitted line, omit it too.

Any DIE with an DW_AT_inline attribute can be cited by
DW_AT_abstract_origin attributes --- even if the value of the

FindSectionByName will return the first section whose name starts with
NAME, because strncmp stops the comparison once NAME's characters have
been found to match. The comparison stops before the terminating '\0'.
For example, if we search for the section named ".eh_frame", we may
get the section named ".eh_frame_hdr".
Instead, check that the section name section has enough space to store
the complete name with its terminating '\0', and then use strcmp,
which will never examine more than strlen(NAME) + 1 bytes from the
section name section, regardless of its contents, and will require the
terminating '\0' to match as well.

The Google C++ Style Guide requires each file to have an author notice

don't think putting an author notice on the files is a good idea; it's
odd to have the original author retain prominence even if the file has
been heavily edited by others; the version control system answers this
question more accurately. This is only for Style Guide compliance. The
Apache group decided to discourage author annotations, partially for

In r480, I botched the change to make the comparisons that decide
whether an address falls within a function's range safe from overflow.
The original code said:
address >= function_base && address < function_base + function_size
which is fine unless the function abuts the end of the address space,
in which case the addition overflows and you get a false negative.
My change subtracted function_size from both sides of the latter
comparison, which is meaning-preserving in true math, and gets you:
address >= function_base && address - function_size < function_base
This not only reads strangely, but also still overflows if
function_size is greater than address. That's rare, but I've added a
case to the unit tests that checks it.
My intent had been to replace the addition which could overflow with a
subtraction that was known not to overflow, namely:
address >= function_base && address - function_base < function_size
This is equivalent to the original in true math, and because of the
first comparison, we know the subtraction won't underflow in MemAddr
math.

to FindWindowsFrameInfo, which was the only other function affected by

The stabs reading code in google-breakpad incorrectly assumes that the
stabs data is a single compilation unit. Specifically, it ignores
N_UNDF stabs and assumes that all string indices are relative to the
beginning of the .stabstr section.
This is true when linking with the GNU linker by default, because the
GNU linker optimizes stabs debug info. The gold linker does not do
this optimization. It can be disabled when using the GNU linker with
the --traditional-format command line option.
