Provides a new mechanism for dumpstate (while running as root)
to request that debuggerd dump the stacks of native processes that
we care about in bug reports. In this mode, the backtrace
is formatted to look similar to a Dalvik backtrace.
Moved the tombstone generating code into a separate file to
make it easier to maintain.
Fixed a bug where sometimes the stack traces would be incomplete
because we were not waiting for each thread to stop after issuing
PTRACE_ATTACH, only the main thread. So sometimes we were missing
traces for some threads.
Refactored the logging code to prevent accidentally writing data
to logcat when explicitly dumping a tombstone or backtrace from the
console.
Only root or system server can request to dump backtraces but
only root can dump tombstones.

Some changes to debuggerd:
(1) Send a SIGSTOP to the target process before doing any of the
PTRACE_ATTACH work. This causes the threads that weren't hit by
the signal to stop moving, which seems to get rid of the "ptrace
detach failed: No such process" problems that result in missed
stack traces and debuggerd self-immolation.
(2) SIGPIPE was in the list of "interesting" signals caught by
debugger_signal_handler(), but debuggerd didn't recognize it, and
you'd get "unexpected signal 13" complaints. It's now in the list.
(3) Fixed a bit-rotted XLOG.

When explicitly requesting a dump, show the user the path of
the tombstone file that was generated.

Keep track of whether memory maps are readable. Use the information
in try_get_word to try to avoid accidentally dereferencing an invalid
pointer within the current process. (Note that I haven't ever
seen that happen during normal unwinding, but it pays to be
a little more careful.)
Refactored try_get_word a little to make it easier to pass it the
needed state for validation checks by way of a little memory_t struct.
Improved how the memory map for the current process is cached. This is
important because we need up to date information about readable maps.
Use a 5 second cache expiration.
Improved the PC -> LR fallback logic in the unwinder so we can
eke out an extra frame sometimes.
Fixed a bug reading ELF program headers. The phnum & phentsize
fields are half-words. We were incorrectly interpreting
phnum as a whole word.
Used android_atomic_* operations carefully in the unwinder
to prevent possible memory races between the dumper and the dumpee.
This was highly unlikely (or even impossible due to the presence
of other barriers along the way) but the code is clearer now about
its invariants.
Fixed a bug in debuggerd where the pid was being passed to have
its stack dump taken instead of the tid, resulting in short
stacks because ptrace couldn't read the data if pid != tid.
Did a full sweep to ensure that we use pid / tid correctly everywhere.
Ported old code from debuggerd to rewind the program counter back
one instruction so that it points to the branch instruction itself
instead of the return address.

This change modifies debuggerd so that it can be used to grab
the native stacks of a process that has hung and not just crashed.
Note that only the root user can do this (for now).
adb shell debuggerd <tid>
Then use logcat to find the tombstone file that was generated
which will have the native stacks of all threads in the
requested process. The specified thread will be shown first
and will also appear in the main log.
Also made some minor tweaks to libcorkscrew so that we
could handle statically compiled executables in the future
if we compiled the library statically.
Improved the "wait_for_user_action" function to support
volume down as an alternative for devices that do not
have home keys.
Removed a mess of gotos.

When the tombstones are uploaded to APR, they're truncated at 64KB.
This causes the log data, which is at the end, to be lost if the
process has more than about 12 threads (which many do).
This change adds the last few lines of the log right below the
report for the crashing thread, where we should be guaranteed to
keep it.
Also, clean up trailing newlines on log messages (which end up in
the tombstone), and don't print a "------- log" banner if there
aren't any messages in that log file (e.g. slog).
Also also, don't try to show_nearby_maps unless this is the crashing
thread.

The Android Problem Report site shows tombstones uploaded from
devices. We can see the native stack traces for every thread,
but sometimes there's a very important bit of information sitting
in the log, and without it we can't analyze the failure.
This change modifies debuggerd so that the log contents for the
crashing process are appended to the tombstone. The format matches
the output of "logcat -v threadtime". Both "system" and "main" logs
are included (but not interleaved -- we're not that fancy).
This feature is only enabled when the "ro.debuggable" system property
is set to 1 (indicating a development device).

This adds some additional output to native crashes. For example, if
something tried to access a bit of mmap(/dev/zero) memory that had
been mprotect()ed, you might see output like this:
I DEBUG : memory map around addr 4015a00c:
I DEBUG : 40159000-4015a000 /system/lib/libstdc++.so
I DEBUG : 4015a000-40162000 /dev/zero
I DEBUG : b0001000-b0009000 /system/bin/linker
The idea is to see what's in and around the fault address to make it
easier to identify bus errors due to file truncation and segmentation
faults caused by buffer over/underruns.
No output is generated for accesses below 0x1000 (which are likely
NULL pointer dereferences) or for signals that don't set si_addr.
Also, suppress the fault address for signals that don't set si_addr:
I DEBUG : signal 6 (SIGABRT), code 0 (?), fault addr --------
We still print "fault addr" followed by 8 characters for anything
that is parsing the contents. The "address" shown for signals like
SIGABRT was meaningless and possibly confusing.

This modifies debuggerd to sleep-poll while waiting for the target
process to crash, rather than block (potentially forever).
Also, add/fix some error reporting.
Bug 5035703
Change-Id: Id62ab79f53104927f8de684dff1a5734dbdb8390
When a process receives a fatal signal, it connects to debuggerd
and initiates a conversation over a socket. When the crashing
process is debuggerd, the conversation stalls forever, and you
stop getting native crash details.
This resets the signal handlers to SIG_DFL, so that debuggerd
simply crashes and gets restarted.

Change-Id: Ie081d710d046f701bca7e7d8ea3e1d24766d9f61
This change ensures that debuggered properly releases
the signal handler that invoked it after the PTRACE_ATTACH.
The previous code simply did a close() of the file descriptor,
but for some reason, this didn't always make the read() blocking
the signal handler exit. Instead, the thread would stay blocked
and never fault, preventing the generation of a useful stack
trace.

Fix bug in debuggerd so it can successfully find the exidx section in
This change enables debuggerd to provide backtraces with function
names in tombstone files and log messages. It does this by reading
the image file that the address is found in, and parsing the dynamic
symbol table to try to extract the symbol corresponding to the given
address.
This works best when "-Wl,-export-dynamic" is added to the LDFLAGS
of each library and executable, because this will cause all symbols
to be added to the dynamic symbol table. If this flag is not present,
it will still work, but it will only be able to identify functions
which are part of the external API of the library/executable.

Changed "process has crashed" message:
- say ":5039" instead of ":port" so mouse-paste of command is trivial
- removed trailing spaces, which consume log buffer to little effect
- improved (I hope) the short explanation of what's going on and
what the HOME key does
Fixed typo ("ignorning").
