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 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).

In order to better distinguish Android and Linux minidumps, introduce
a new MD_OS_ANDROID definition, and modify related source code accordingly.
Also append the build-fingerprint to the minidump location descriptor.
This gives more information about the system image the device runs on.

The new API allows to automatically upload repports to the crash server when the application restarts.
This change also:
- Correct a bug on the test for correct alignment of the abrt signal handler
- Add user friendly information on crashes for SIGABRT and NSException

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.

- Introduces a standard API for dealing with modules. MinidumpModule
is now a concrete implementation of this API. Code may interact with
single modules using the CodeModule interface, and collections of
modules using its container, the CodeModules interface.
- CodeModule is used directly by SymbolSupplier implementations and
SourceLineResolver. Reliance on the specific implementation in
MinidumpModule has been eliminated.
- Module lists are now added to ProcessState objects. Module references
in each stack frame are now pointers to objects in these module lists.
- The sample minidump_stackwalk tool prints the module list after printing
all threads' stacks.

- MinidumpProcessor now processes all threads and returns a new ProcessState
object. (Interface change.)
- ProcessState contains a CallStack for each thread in the process, and
additional information about whether the process crashed, which thread
crashed, the reason for the crash, and identifying attributes for the
OS and CPU.
- MinidumpSystemInfo now contains a GetCPUVendor() method that returns the
vendor information from CPUID 0 on x86 processors ("GenuineIntel").
