30 words isn't far enough to scan for RAs #452

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Of course this is just a heuristic scan that occurs when there is not proper 
debug information, but we are currently falling back to this scan for Chromium 
OS libc module.  We need 47 words to find the return address from abort().  
Since many, many run time errors go through abort, we're seeing them all be 
truncated with a stack like:

0x73402424   [linux-gate.so  + 0x00000424]  system call entry
0x7212edce   [libc-2.11.1.so     + 0x0002cdce]  raise()
0x7225ce4b   [libc-2.11.1.so     + 0x0015ae4b]  ????
0x7213065e   [libc-2.11.1.so     + 0x0002e65e]  abort()

Suggest doubling the heuristic from 30 words to 60.

Note that there are many phantom frames in the libc module where false positive 
RA addresses are found.  But eventually it gets past these into the main 
application.
