Ted Mielczarek 4912669df1 Change MDCVInfoELF into something usable.
This patch changes MDCVInfoELF (which is currently unused, apparently
a vestigal bit of code landed as part of Solaris support) into a supported
CodeView format that simply contains a build id as raw bytes.

Modern ELF toolchains support build ids nicely:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Developer_Guide/compiling-build-id.html

It would be useful to have the original build ids of loaded modules in
Linux minidumps, since tools like Fedora's darkserver allow querying by build
id and the current Breakpad code truncates the build id to the size of a GUID,
which loses information:
https://darkserver.fedoraproject.org/

A follow-up patch will change the Linux minidump generation code to produce
MDCVInfoELF in minidumps instead of MDCVInfoPDB70. This patch should be landed
first to ensure that crash processors are able to handle this format before
dumps are generated containing it.

The full build id is exposed as the return value of Minidump::code_identifier(),
which currently just returns "id" for modules in Linux dumps. For
backwards-compatibility, Minidump::debug_identifier() continues to treat
the build id as a GUID, so debug identifiers for existing modules will not
change.

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.
