crash_reporter
crash_reporter is a deamon running on the device that saves the call stack of
crashing programs. It makes use of the
Breakpad library.
During a build, Breakpad symbol files are generated for all binaries. They are
packaged into a zip file when running m dist, so that a developer can upload
them to the crash server.
On a device, if the user has opted in to metrics and crash reporting, a Breakpad minidump is generated when an executable crashes, which is then uploaded to the crash server.
On the crash server, it compares the minidump's signature to the symbol files that the developer has uploaded, and extracts and symbolizes the stack trace from the minidump.
SELinux policies
In order to correctly generate a minidump, crash_reporter needs to be given
the proper SELinux permissions for accessing the domain of the crashing
executable. By default, crash_reporter has only been given access to a select
number of system domains, such as metricsd, weave, and update_engine. If
a developer wants their executable's crashes to be caught by crash_reporter,
they will have to set their SELinux policies in their .te file to allow
crash_reporter access to their domain. This can be done through a simple
macro:
allow_crash_reporter(domain_name)
Replace domain_name with whatever domain is assigned to the executable in
the file_contexts file.
Configuration
crash_reporter has a few different configuration options that have to be set.
- Crashes are only handled and uploaded if analytics reporting is enabled,
either via the weave call to set
_metrics.enableAnalyticsReportingor by manually creating the file/data/misc/metrics/enabled(for testing only). - The
BRILLO_CRASH_SERVERmake variable should be set in theproduct.mkfile to the URL of the crash server. For Brillo builds, it is set automatically through the product configuration. Setting this variable will populate the/etc/os-release.d/crash_serverfile on the device, which is read bycrash_sender. - The
BRILLO_PRODUCT_IDmake variable should be set in theproduct.mkfile to the product's ID. For Brillo builds, it is set automatically through the product configuration. Setting this variable will populate the/etc/os-release.d/product_id, which is read bycrash_sender.
Uploading crash reports in eng builds
By default, crash reports are only uploaded to the server for production
user and userdebug images. In eng builds, with crash reporting enabled
the device will generate minidumps for any crashing executables but will not
send them to the crash server. If a developer does want to force an upload,
they can do so by issuing the command SECONDS_SEND_SPREAD=5 FORCE_OFFICIAL=1 crash_sender from an ADB shell. This will send the report to the server, with
the image_type field set to force-official so that these reports can be
differentiated from normal reports.
