This patch is part of a bigger patch that helps merging the breakpad code
with the modified version in Chromium OS.
Specifically, this patch makes the following changes:
1. Turn the LinuxDumper class into a base class and move ptrace related
code into a new derived class, LinuxPtraceDumper.
2. Add a LinuxCoreDumper class, which is derived from LinuxDumper, to
extract information from a crashed process via a core dump file instead
of ptrace.
3. Add a WriteMinidumpFromCore function to
src/client/linux/minidump_writer/minidump_writer.h,
which uses LinuxCoreDumper to extract information from a core dump file.
4. Add a core2md utility, which simply wraps WriteMinidumpFromCore, for
converting a core dump to a minidump.

CrashGenerator::CreateChildCrash() may have some flakiness. This patch
changes ElfCoreDumpTest to temporarily skip the ValidCoreFile test if
no core dump is generated by CrashGenerator::CreateChildCrash(), but
print out the error message to help debug the flakiness.

This patch adds synth_elf::{StringTable,SymbolTable,ELF} classes to
produce in-memory ELF files to properly test the Linux symbol dumping
code. It also uses those classes to add some basic tests for
the WriteSymbolFile function.

At present, the Linux symbol dumper maps the ELF file into memory to
examine the debugging information it contains, but then also calls
google_breakpad::FileID::ElfFileIdentifier, which maps the ELF file into
memory again. Some of our object files are large; Mozilla's libxul.so is
1.1GiB. Trying to map such files twice can interfere with tools like
valgrind that map themselves into high addresses (in an attempt to stay out
of the way of ordinary programs).
The FileID class has another method, ElfFileIdentifierFromMappedFile, that
operates on an already-loaded image of the file; use that instead.

This patch avoids unnecessary use of the <cfoo> headers in files that don't
actually use the identifiers they declare in the std:: namespace.
It also changes some files to better conform with the "Names and Order of
Includes" rules in the Google C++ Style Guide.

This patch addresses two differences between Linux and Macintosh OS X STABS
data:
- StabsReader assumes that the STABS entries follow the conventions for
storing STABS data in object file sections (that is, .stabs and
.stabstr), rather than in the object files's linker symbol table. On Mac
OS X, STABS entries live in the Mach-O file's LC_SYMTAB load command,
along with all the other linker symbols; they are not grouped into units
by N_UNDF entries.
This patch adds a boolean argument to the StabsReader constructor
indicating whether the parser should treat N_UNDF entries as unit
boundaries; this argument should be true on Linux, and false on Mac. The
patch changes src/common/linux/dump_symbols.cc to pass this new argument.
- Mac OS X STABS place SLINE (line number) records immediately before the
FUN record for the function to which they belong, and the values of such
records are absolute, not relative to the function start.
This patch extends the parser to queue up such records and report them to
the handler when we do see the FUN record. The meaning of
StabsHandler::Line remains unchanged; existing handlers do not need to be
adjusted.
This patch also adds unit tests for the new parser behaviors.

All the other classes which receive debugging data from some sort of parser
and use it to populate a Module have names ending in "ToModule":
DwarfCUToModule, DwarfCFIToModule. Also, DumpStabsHandler doesn't actually
dump anything.
This patch renames the DumpStabsHandler class to StabsToModule, which is
more consistent and descriptive.

StabsReader simply applies a reinterpret_cast to treat the stab entry data
as an array of 'struct nlist' structures, making the parser specific on the
host endianness, word size, and alignment rules. On Mac OS X, a single fat
binary file may contain object files of different ABIs, of which the user
chooses one at run time.
This patch changes the parser to read the data using the google_breakpad::
ByteCursor class, which can handle different endiannesses and word sizes.
The StabsReader constructor now takes arguments indicating the endianness
of the data and the size of each entry's value field. The patch changes
src/common/linux/dump_symbols.cc to pass the new argument.
This patch changes the StabsReader unit tests to use the google_breakpad::
TestAssembler classes to generate test data, rather than reading it from a
file. This makes it easy to generate test data in various endiannesses and
word sizes. It also adds tests for the new parser behaviors.

At the moment, the mappings from register numbers appearing in DWARF CFI
and .eh_frame exception handling sections to the appropriate
processor-specific names are in src/common/linux/dump_syms.cc. However, the
numberings are (for the most part) the same on all platforms using DWARF,
so there's no reason those tables shouldn't be shared between the Linux and
Mac symbol dumpers.
This patch moves the tables into a nested class of DwarfCFIToModule, so
they the Mac dumper can use them when it is changed to use
DwarfCFIToModule.

In the process of pairing up DWARF source lines with the functions they
belong to, the dumper detects and warns about regions of functions that
have no source line information, and vice versa. However, this seems to
occur in real code frequently enough (although not often) that the warnings
may obscure more serious problems.
This patch makes those warnings disabled by default in
DwarfCUToModule::WarningReporter. It does not add a way for the dump_syms
user to enable them.

In order to dump call frame information held in .eh_frame sections, the
dumper needs to know the proper base address to use for pointers encoded
using the DW_EH_PE_textrel encoding. This should be the start of the .text
section. However, due to a cut-and-paste typo, the dumper was supplying the
base address of the ".got" section instead.

This patch allows the Breakpad minidump processor to use data from
STACK CFI records to generate stack traces for the ARM processor.
In the symbol dumper, we need a table mapping DWARF CFI register
numbers to their names: STACK CFI records refer to registers by name.
In the processor, we expand StackwalkerARM::GetCallerFrame to see if
there are STACK CFI records covering the callee, and then use those to
recover the caller's register values.
There's no good reason the ARM walker couldn't use the SimpleCFIWalker
interface declared in cfi_frame_info.h. Unfortunately, that interface
assumes that one can map register names to member pointers of the raw
context type, while MDRawContextARM uses an array to hold the
registers' values: C++ pointer-to-member types can't refer to elements
of member arrays. So we have to write out SimpleCFIWalker::FindCallerRegisters
in StackwalkerARM::GetCallerFrame.
We define enum MDARMRegisterNumbers in minidump_cpu_arm.h, for
convenience in referring to certain ARM registers with dedicated
purposes, like the stack pointer and the PC.
We define validity flags in StackFrameARM for all the registers, since
CFI could theoretically recover any of them. In the same vein, we
expand minidump_stackwalk.cc to print the values of all valid
callee-saves registers in the context --- and use the proper names for
special-purpose registers.
We provide unit tests that give full code and branch coverage (with
minor exceptions). We add a testing interface to StackwalkerARM that
allows us to create context frames that lack some register values.

Extend google_breakpad::CFISection with the ability to produce
.eh_frame data. Entry headers have a different format, and pointers
can be encoded in new and fascinating ways.
Extend dwarf2reader::CallFrameInfo to be able to parse either DWARF
CFI or .eh_frame data, as determined by an argument to the
constructor. Cope with variations in header formats, encoded pointers,
and additional data in 'z' augmentation data blocks. Extend the unit
tests appropriately.
Extend dump_syms to look for a .eh_frame section, and if it is
present, find the necessary base addresess and parse its contents.
There's no need for DwarfCFIToModule to check the version numbers; if
CallFrameInfo can parse it, DwarfCFIToModule should be able to handle
it. Adjust tests accordingly.

STACK CFI records.
Extend the Linux symbol dumping tool, dump_syms, to use
dwarf2reader::CallFrameInfo, google_breakpad::DwarfCFIToModule, and
google_breakpad::Module to extract DWARF CFI from the executable or
shared library files and write it to the Breakpad symbol file.
Define CFISection, a new class derived from TestAssembler::Section,
for use in creating DWARF CFI data for test cases.
