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
which is the correct answer.

The current processor implementation is grepping for /google-breakpad(
in the logcat lines, to filter out microdump lines, which by default
look like this:
W/google-breakpad( 3728): -----BEGIN BREAKPAD MICRODUMP-----
Turns out that logcat format can vary, when passing optional arguments,
and produce something like the following:
04-13 12:30:35.563 6531 6531 W google-breakpad: -----BEGIN ...
In the latter case, the "/google-breakpad(" filter is too aggressive.
This change is relaxing it, so it is compatible also with non-default
logcat arguments.

This is a reland of the previous CL (r1433). r1433 did not achieve what
intended and failed the x86_64 build of Chrome with NDK r10c.
The workaround logic in this CL is identical to r1433, but the #define
magic is applied in a more appropriate proper place this time. Turns
out Breakpad already has an Android compatibility layer, which is
common/android/include. Piggybacking the fix there.

r1397 did introduce a workaround to deal with a typo in sys/user.h
in the Android NDK. The typo has been fixed in [1]. However, breakpad
cannot just switch to the fixed version as this would require atomic
rolls of Breakpad and NDK in chromium, which would make reverts hard
to handle.
This change introduces an inelegant yet functional hack which makes
breakpad compatible with both versions of the NDK, with and without
the typo. It can be reverted once Chrome has stably rolled to NDK
r10d.

A recent change in the client-side microdump write (r1404) ended up
introducing a call to new() to instantiate the line buffer that
microdump uses to dump its lines. new/malloc is a luxury we cannot
afford in a compromised context.
This change switches the line buffer to be backed by the dumper
page allocator, which on Linux/Android ends up requesting pages
via mmap.
Also, the microdump write bails out without crashing if the page
allocator failed (crash during severe OOM).

A computation in the stack unwind algorithm could cause an overflow if a base
pointer read from crashed process is sufficiently close to top of address space.
This causes a memory read that causes the dump thread to crash, resulting in a
failure to generate crash dump. Check fixed to properly detect that this pointer
is greater than actual memory range of current stack.

When LinuxCoreDumper fails to copy process data from a core file, it
fills the return buffer with a repeated sequence of a special marker.
However, MinidumpWriter doesn't know about that and may incorrectly
interpret the data. In many cases, MinidumpWriter simply copies the
gibberish data to the minidump, which isn't too bad. However, the
gibberish data may cause MinidumpWriter to behave badly in some other
cases. For example, when MinidumpWriter tries to iterate through the
linked list of all loaded DSOs via the r_map field of a r_debug struct,
if the linked list is filed with the special marker, the code keeps
iterating through the same address.
This CL addresses the issue by having LinuxCoreDumper::CopyFromProcess()
returns a Boolean value to indicate if the expected data is found from
the core file. MinidumpWriter can then decide how to handle that.

gcc has a single exception setting for all languages. Saying -fno-exceptions
in gcc disables exceptions and cleanups for cc files, but has no effect for mm
files.
In clang, -fno-exceptions only disables c++ exceptions, but keeps objective-c
exceptions and cleanups enabled.
http://llvm.org/viewvc/llvm-project?view=revision&revision=220714 changed
__EXCEPTIONS to be defined for clang when cleanups are enabled, independent of
if c++ exceptions are enabled. (This was necessary to have clang work with
glibc which looks at __EXCEPTIONS to decide if cleanups are enabled.)
Breakpad tried to use __EXCEPTIONS to figure out if c++ exceptions are enabled.
In cc files, this works: -fno-exceptions will disable c++ exceptions and
cleanups. But in mm files, -fno-exceptions will disable c++ exceptions and
objective-c exceptions will still be enabled, and so cleanups must run and hence
__EXCEPTIONS is defined.
To make things work with both old and new compilers, do the try/catch hack in
mm files either if __EXCEPTIONS is not defined (for old compilers) or if the
compiler is clang and __has_feature(cxx_exceptions) isn't set (which will work
for new clangs too, and which cleanly maps to if c++ exceptions are enabled).

Previously, dump_syms did not handle DW_FORM_ref_addr if it appeared
in DWARF 4 debugging info.
Also fix a DW_FORM_ref_addr case so that it doesn't fall through to
the next switch case when assertions are disabled and the DWARF
version isn't recognised.
The following steps will reproduce the problem when using LLVM 3.4:
cat <<END >example1.c
int main() { return 0; }
END
cat <<END >example2.c
void foo(int x) {}
END
clang -emit-llvm -g -c example1.c -o example1.bc
clang -emit-llvm -g -c example2.c -o example2.bc
llvm-link-3.4 example1.bc example2.bc -o combined.bc
clang combined.bc -o executable
./google-breakpad/build/src/tools/linux/dump_syms/dump_syms executable
When using LLVM bitcode linking in this way, LLVM's backend generates
partially-merged DWARF debugging info in which some of the references
to the "int" type go via "DW_FORM_ref_addr". Since PNaCl uses LLVM
bitcode linking, this dump_syms failure occurs with nexes produced by
the PNaCl toolchain.

Microdumps are a very lightweight variant of minidumps. They are meant
to dump a minimal crash report on the system log (logcat on Android),
containing only the state of the crashing thread.
This is to deal with cases where the user has opted out from crash
uploading but we still want to generate meaningful information on the
device to pull a stacktrace for development purposes.
Conversely to conventional stack traces (e.g. the one generated by
Android's debuggerd or Chromium's base::stacktrace) microdumps do NOT
require unwind tables to be present in the target binary. This allows
to save precious binary size (~1.5 MB for Chrome on Arm, ~10 MB on
arm64).
