benchan@chromium.org d6eb7fa1b8 Handle failures of copying process data from a core file.
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.

Getting started in 32-bit mode (from trunk)
Configure: CXXFLAGS=-m32 CFLAGS=-m32 CPPFLAGS=-m32 ./configure
    Build: make
     Test: make check
  Install: make install

If you need to reconfigure your build be sure to run "make distclean" first.

To request change review:
0. Get access to a read-write copy of source.
   Owners at http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/ are able to grant
   this access.

1. Check out a read-write copy of source using instructions at
   http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/source/checkout

2. Make changes. Build and test your changes.
   For core code like processor use methods above.
   For linux/mac/windows, there are test targets in each project file.

3. Download http://codereview.appspot.com/static/upload.py

4. Run upload.py from the 'src' directory:
   upload.py --server=breakpad.appspot.com

   You will be prompted for credential and a description.

5. At http://breakpad.appspot.com you'll find your issue listed; click on it,
   and select Publish+Mail, and enter in the code reviewer and CC
   google-breakpad-dev@googlegroups.com

6. When applying code review feedback, specify the '-i' option when running
   upload.py again and pass the issue number so it updates the existing issue,
   rather than creating a new one.
   Be sure to rerun upload.py from the same directory as you did for previous
   uploads to allow for proper diff calculations.
