Merge 89795 - Always search TIDs for the crashing processes.
Kernels newer than 2.6.32 support TID and PID namespacing where
processes' view of their TIDs and PIDs are not globally unique or
externally meaningful. We have workarounds to find the TID and PID of
the crashing process from outside in the browser process. However, we
were only assuming TID namespacing was happening if PID namespacing
was enabled and the kernel had a bug that was fixed since 2.6.38.
This change causes us to always treat the TID as subject to
namespacing. Our trick to find the TID relies on a procfs feature
added in 2008. We assume if that feature is not yet present that
the TID translation is not necessary.
This fixes the bug where all crashes of non-browser processes on Linux
2.6.38+ (Chrome OS r13+) are unusable (result in
UnspecifiedStackSignature).
