This bug manifests itself on Android x64 (in ExceptionHandlerTest::ExternalDumper), but is possible on any platform.
The compiler is unaware of the code which runs in the signal handler which reads this variable. Without volatile the compiler is free to optimise away writes to this variable which it believes are never read.

This is an initial attempt to add Arm64 (aarch64) support to Breakpad for
Linux / Android platforms. This CL adds the Arm64 data structures, but does
not yet implement the Android getcontext support or CPUFillFromThreadInfo /
CPUFillFromUContext.

The current CreateChildCrash logic is racy when it comes to creating a
crash dump for two reasons:
The main thread that calls kill() on a different thread is guaranteed
the signal will be *queued* when it returns, but not *delivered*. If
the kernel doesn't automatically schedule the receiving thread, but
instead lets the main thread run to the exit() call, then the signal
never triggers a coredump and the whole process simply exits.
The main thread is using kill() to try to deliver a signal to a
specific thread, but that function is for sending signals to a
process. That means the kernel is free to deliver the signal to
any thread in the process and not just the one requested. This
manifests itself as the pr_pid in the coredump not being the one
expected. Instead, we must use tkill() with the tid (which we
already took care of gathering) to deliver to a specific thread.
These are a lot easier to see on a UMP system as contention is heavier.

There are a bunch of tests that use invalid memory acesses (on purpose)
to trigger a crash so that we can detect things are dumped correctly.
When we run under ASAN, it catches those accesses and the breaks the
testing flow.
For now, use the existing ADDRESS_SANITIZER symbol to disable more tests.
Ideally we'd use a compile-time attribute to disable ASAN on a few funcs,
but that seems to be broken atm.

For CPUs that don't support the MMX instruction set, such pre-Pentium III or industrial x86 embedded PCs, the minidump fails when it tries to retrieve MMX specific registers.
This patch adds MMX detection for that call.
Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 with i686, and on a custom Linux distro on a Vortex86DX microcontroller.

It is incorrect to wrap close in HANDLE_EINTR on Linux.
Unnecessary #includes of eintr_wrapper.h are also removed. The variable naming
within the macro is also updated per Chromium r178174.
einter_wrapper.h contains a non-mechanical change. Mechanical changes were
generated by running:
sed -E -i '' \
-e 's/((=|if|return|CHECK|EXPECT|ASSERT).*)HANDLE(_EINTR\(.*close)/\1IGNORE\3/' \
-e 's/(ignore_result|void ?)\(HANDLE_EINTR\((.*close\(.*)\)\)/\2/' \

SIGABRT can be generated internally, usually by calling abort(),
or externally by another process. When the signal is generated
by the kernel, info->si_pid is 0 and the signal is treated in the
same way as an exception (SIGSEGV, etc.), but the assumption
that the exception happens again upon return from the handler
is wrong, so we must have a special case for this.

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).

Three unit tests were failing on recent ARM devices (e.g. Galaxy Nexus
or Nexus 4), while ran properly on older ones (e.g. Nexus S).
The main issue is that the instruction cache needs to be explicitely
cleared on ARM after writing machine code bytes to a malloc()-ed
page with PROT_EXEC.

If the stack sizes for threads in the MinidumpSizeLimit test are too big,
then subtracting 64KB from the normal minidump file size is not enough to
trigger the size-limiting logic. Instead of basing the arbitrary limit off
of the normal file size, make it relative to the 8KB stack size the logic
assumes.
