* Add an optional root prefix to Linux dumpersDominik Laskowski2016-03-071-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | The Linux dumpers use absolute paths for shared libraries referenced by dumps, so they fail to locate them if the crash originated in a chroot. This CL enables callers to specify a root prefix, which is prepended to mapping paths before opening them. BUG=chromium:591792 TEST=make check Review URL: https://codereview.chromium.org/1761023002/
* Handle failures of copying process data from a core file.benchan@chromium.org2015-02-021-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. BUG=chromium:453484 TEST=Run core2md with the test data attached to chromium:453484.

* Implement core dump to minidump conversion.benchan@chromium.org2012-01-191-0/+122
This patch is part of a bigger patch that helps merging the breakpad code with the modified version in Chromium OS. Specifically, this patch makes the following changes: 1. Turn the LinuxDumper class into a base class and move ptrace related code into a new derived class, LinuxPtraceDumper. 2. Add a LinuxCoreDumper class, which is derived from LinuxDumper, to extract information from a crashed process via a core dump file instead of ptrace. 3. Add a WriteMinidumpFromCore function to src/client/linux/minidump_writer/minidump_writer.h, which uses LinuxCoreDumper to extract information from a core dump file. 4. Add a core2md utility, which simply wraps WriteMinidumpFromCore, for converting a core dump to a minidump. BUG=455 TEST=Tested the following: 1. Build on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux with gcc 4.4.3 and gcc 4.6. 2. Build on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with gcc 4.2 and clang 3.0 (with latest gmock). 3. All unit tests pass. 4. Run Chromium OS tests to test core2md. Review URL: http://breakpad.appspot.com/343001 git-svn-id: http://google-breakpad.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@905 4c0a9323-5329-0410-9bdc-e9ce6186880e
