Ivan Penkov f948d8d623 Increasing the Breakpad stack walker max scan limit from 30 to 40.
Chrome started hitting some crashes in v8 jitted code which happens to be
non ABI compliant and debuggers (including WinDBG) are unable to produce
meaningful stack traces.

The Breakpad stack walker has some builtin heuristics to deal with such cases.
More specifically, when unable to find a good parent frame, it scans the raw
stack to find a suitable parent frame.  The max scan size was set at 30
pointers which was (apparently) not enough to recover in this case.

I'm increasing it to 40 pointers.  I confirmed that at 34 pointers it was able
to recover however I'm setting it to 40 in order to it some slack.

I needed to update two unittests which were expecting the previous scan limit.

Breakpad

Breakpad is a set of client and server components which implement a crash-reporting system.

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:

  1. Get a copy of depot_tools repo. http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools

  2. Create a new directory for checking out the source code. mkdir breakpad && cd breakpad

  3. Run the fetch tool from depot_tools to download all the source repos. fetch breakpad

  4. 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.

  5. Commit your changes to your local repo and upload them to the server. http://dev.chromium.org/developers/contributing-code e.g. git commit ... && git cl upload ... You will be prompted for credential and a description.

  6. At https://codereview.chromium.org/ 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
