.raSearchStart in the cases where there are alignment operators in
the program string.
If alignment operators are found in the program string, the current
value of %ebp must be valid and it is the only reliable data point
that can be used for getting to the previous frame. Previously, the
.raSearchStart calculation was based on %esp and when %esp is aligned
in the current frame (which is a lossy operation) the resulting
.raSearchStart cannot was incorrect. There is code that is trying to
work around this problem (scanning of up to 3 words for a return
address) which is unreliable and it doesn't work in many cases (e.g.
when the alignment is on a 64-byte boundary).
This fix is already deployed in Google and it was measured to reduce
the number of wrong stack traces (for Windows crashes) by 45%. No
regressions have been found so far.
Here is an example of an issue that was fixed by this change (where
register %esp is aligned on the 64-byte boundary and the workarounds
that we already had didn't work):

Tested with a minidump containing a version 3 structure to validate the string conversion routines. Interestingly enough the time_zone names does not appear to be abbreviation as the documentation was suggesting but full names, e.g. Eastern Standard Time:
MDRawMiscInfo
size_of_info = 232
flags1 = 0xf7
process_id = 0x54c4
process_create_time = 0x51a9323c
process_user_time = 0x1
process_kernel_time = 0x0
processor_max_mhz = 3100
processor_current_mhz = 1891
processor_mhz_limit = 3100
processor_max_idle_state = 0x1
processor_current_idle_state = 0x1
The new fileds follow:
process_integrity_level = 0x1000
process_execute_flags = 0x4d
protected_process = 0
time_zone_id = 2
time_zone.bias = 300
time_zone.standard_name = Eastern Standard Time
time_zone.daylight_name = Eastern Daylight Time

More specifically:
- Detect corrupt symbols during minidump processing and provide the list of modules with corrupt symbols in the ProcessState. This will allow listing the corrupt symbol files in the final crash report.
- Skip and recover from symbol data parse errors - don't give up until 100 parse errors are seen.
- In order to recover from '\0' (null terminator) in the middle of a symbol file, a couple of methods have to be updated to require both buffer pointer and length. Previously they required only a buffer pointer (char *) and the size of the buffer was evaluated using strlen which is not reliable when the data is corrupt. Most of the changes are due to these signature updates.
- Added and updated unittests.
Also, updated minidump_stackwalk to show a WARNING for corrupt symbols. Output looks like this:

doesn't see the correct thread stack memory. Instead, it loads garbage
(from offset 0 of the minidump file - well that's not garbage, but it is
not the stack memory region either) and attempts to walk it. A typical
symptom of this issue is when you get a single stack frame after
processing - the context frame - for which you don't need stack memory.
This issue is caused by an invalid RVA in the memory descriptor stored
inside the MINIDUMP_THREAD structure for the thread. Luckily, the
invalid RVA is 0, and the start_of_memory_region appears to be correct,
so this issue can be easily detected and the correct memory region can be
loaded using an RVA specified in the MinidumpMemoryList.
I couldn't find a reasonable description on MSDN regarding
MINIDUMP_MEMORY_DESCRIPTOR.MINIDUMP_LOCATION_DESCRIPTOR having RVA of 0
except maybe for full dumps where the 64-bit version of the structure
(MINIDUMP_MEMORY_DESCRIPTOR64) is used and it has no RVA at all. It has
a 64-bit DataSize which if interpreted as the 32-bit structure will very
likely result in 0 for the RVA:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms680384(v=vs.85).aspx
Anyways, the dump that I looked at was not a full dump so 0 for RVA is a
bit puzzling (at least easily detectable):

This is achieved by:
1. Extending the span of the scan for return address in the conext frame. Initially, I wanted to extend the span of the scan for all frames but then I noticed that there is code for ARM already that is extending the search only for the context frame. This kind of makes sense so I decided to reuse the same idea everywhere.
2. Attempting to restore the EBP chain after a successful scan for return address so that the stackwalker can switch back to FRAME_TRUST_CFI for the rest of the frames when possible.
I also fixed the lint errors in the files touched.

This patch improves several things for Linux/ARM:
- Better detection of the number of CPUs on the target
device. The content of /proc/cpuinfo only matches the
number of "online" CPUs, which varies over time with
recent Android devices.
- Reconstruct the CPUID and ELF hwcaps values from
/proc/cpuinfo, this is useful to better identify
target devices in minidumps.
- Make minidump_dump display the new information
in useful ways.
- Write a small helper class to parse /proc/cpuinfo
and also use it for x86/64.
- Write a small helper class to parse sysfds cpu lists.
- Add a my_memchr() implementation.
- Add unit tests.
Tested on a Nexus S (1 CPU), Galaxy Nexus (2 CPUs)
and a Nexus 4 (4 CPUs).

structured logging. This is basically wrapping std::ostream within a new type.
No functional differences from this change are expected.
