Merge lp:~mvo/apport/kernel-crashdump into lp:~apport-hackers/apport/trunk

[Michael Vogt]

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Please review/merge support for kernel crashdump retracing.

Overview:
* bin/kernel_crashdump:
  - needs the add_os_info() to get uname and architecture to make the retracing easier (and is cheap to obtain)
* bin/apport-retrace:
  - small changes to make it friendlier for the kernel output
* apport/report.py
  - add_kernel_info: that is not yet split up, but I think the final splitting depends on what information the kernel team wants here, it should do no harm to merge it and append later
* backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py
  - uses hardcoded ddebs.ubuntu.com currently which is ugly. but kernel-image-debug packages are not in the Packages.gz so this method seems to be required for now

Thanks and feedback welcome

+      DistUtilsExtras.auto which "just does the right thing" for most build
+      system tasks. This requires python-distutils-extra >= 2.2, see
+      https://launchpad.net/python-distutils-extra
+    - Move all test scripts into test/, to unclutter source tree.
+    - setup.py now auto-detects the required packaging backend if
+      apport/packaging_impl.py is not manually installed.
+  * debian/control: Add python-distutils-extra build dependency.
+  * debian/rules: Drop stuff which is now properly done by the upstream build
+    system.
+  * Drop debian/apport.examples, preloadlib died long ago.
+  * Adapt debian/apport-{gtk,kde}.install to new upstream build system, which
+    now installs the .desktop files itself.

+
+  * New upstream release. Compared to our previous snapshot, this changes:
+    - Replace Qt4 frontend with KDE frontend, thanks to Richard Johnson!
+    - apport/ui.py, run_report_bug(): Clean up PID information collection.
+    - gtk/apport-gtk.ui: Drop invalid icon reference. (LP: #389064)
+    - ui.py: Do not reject non-distro package reports if report sets CrashDB
+      (for third-party destination). (LP: #391015)
+    - bin/kernel_crashdump: Use packaging API properly.
+    - apport-gtk.ui: Drop erroneous translatable flag from stock buttons.
+    - Update German translations.
+  * debian/*: qt → kde, add transitional package for apport-qt.
+  * Drop backends/packaging_rpm.py. We don't use it in the Ubuntu package at
+    all, and it's still in trunk.
+  * debian/rules: Drop some deprecated dh_* calls, cdbs's debhelper.mk has
+    done them for a long time.
+  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.2 (no changes necessary).
+  * debian/control: Replace URLs in descriptions with proper Homepage: field.

+  * debian/local/apport-collect: Pass None as HookUI object. This will crash
+    with interactive hooks, but is a good enough immediate bandaid.
+    (LP: #385811)
+  * Merge fixes from trunk:
+    - packaging-apt-dpkg.py: Add backwards compatibility code for python-apt <
+      0.7.9 to not break backportability.
+    - hookutils.py, command_output(): Force LC_MESSAGES=C, to avoid translated
+      output in bug reports. (LP: #383230)
+    - apport-gtk.ui: Make details window resizable, and lower default size, so
+      that it will fit on small screens. (LP: #365517)

+apport (1.3-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
+
+  * New upstream release. Compared to our bzr snapshot, this has:
+    - Interactive package hooks:
+      + Add apport.ui.HookUI class which provides GUI functionality such as
+        yes/no
+        questions or file dialogs to hooks.
+      + add_info() in package hooks now can (optionally) take a second argument
+        which is the HookUI instance.
+      + See doc/package-hooks.txt for details.
+      + See UbuntuSpec:desktop-karmic-symptom-based-bug-reporting
+    - New function apport.hookutils.root_command_output() to run a command as root,
+      through gksu/kdesudo/sudo, depending on the desktop environment.

+
+  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1 (no changes necessary).
+  * debian/control: Bump debhelper dependency for dh_icons, to satisfy
+    lintian.
+  * general-hooks/ubuntu.py: Fix IndexError crash if report does not have a
+    Package field. Check whether we actually have attach_conffiles() (which is
+    not the case when running the upstream version).
+  * Merge trunk:
+    - launchpad.py: Fix crash for unset titles.
+    - Add segfault analysis hook for quick segv reviews. Thanks to Kees Cook!
+    - run-tests: Replace hardcoded Python path with dynamically detected path.

+    - Bug fixes:
+      + hookutils.py: Drop /proc/version_signature collection, it is Ubuntu

+  Implement private crash bug handling, according to

+
+  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py:
+    - upload(): If we have an Ubuntu bug, mark it as private and only
+      subscribe 'apport' (the 'Apport retracing service' user).
+    - Add function _subscribe_triaging_team() which subscribes
+      ubuntu-crashes-main for source packages in Ubuntu main or restricted, or
+      ubuntu-crashes-universe for other packages. It does not touch non-Ubuntu
+      bugs, since these are not marked private by default and are outside of
+      the scope of this spec.
+    - update(), _mark_dup_checked(): Call _subscribe_triaging_team().
+    - Note: This entire spec is a gross hack, and Ubuntu derivatives do not
+      benefit from it at all. We have to live with this until LP grows a real
+      crash database.
+    - get_distro_release(): Make this function work with private bugs, too, by
+      using p-lp-bugs' safe_urlopen().
+
+  Bug fixes:
+
+  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Revert simplification change of 0.85:
+    BugList returns a set of strings, not integers; due to non-identity they
+    do not work with the usual set operations.
+  * apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Add function get_source_component() to
+    query Launchpad for the component of a given distribution and source
+    package. (This will be required for implementing crash-reporting).
+  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _search_contents(): Package list is
+    actually comma separated, only take the first item. This fixes retracing
+    of e. g. #124139.
+  * backends/packaging-apt-dpkg.py, _search_contents(): Fix package name
+    parsing for non-main components. This fixes retracing of e. g. #124111.
+  * apport/report.py, _read_maps(): Revert ptrace hack when maps cannot be
+    read. maps file is now protected based on process ownership, not ptracing.
+  * apport/crashdb.py, apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py,
+    apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Remove official interface
+    mark_dup_checked(), as it should only be an internally used function. Add

+  Collect all Launchpad specific bits in a separate class and provide an
+  abstract base class. This will greatly help for getting upstream acceptance
+  and the possibility of automatically forwarding crashes upstream
+  (apport-for-upstreams specification):
+
+  * Add apport/crashdb.py: Abstract crash database interface. This also offers
+    a factory function get_crashdb() which reads a configuration file to find
+    the default crash database to be used.
+  * Add ./crashdb.conf: Crash database configuration file, for Ubuntu on
+    Launchpad. Modify setup.py and debian/python-apport.install to ship it in
+    python-apport.
+  * Add apport/crashdb_impl/memory.py: Simple in-memory implementation of
+    crash database interface for testing.
+  * Add apport/crashdb_impl/launchpad.py: Launchpad implementation of crash
+    database interface.
+  * apport/ui.py: Drop LP specific bits and move towards new CrashDatabase
+    interface.
+  * apport/ui.py, test suite: Do not overwrite file_report() any more, but
+    use the memory CrashDatabase. This will test the actual file_report()
+    implementation and allows the test suite to check the precise value of
+    opened URLs.
+  * apport/{report,ui}.py: Move UserInterface.create_crash_bug_title() and its
+    test cases to Report.standard_title(). It is much more appropriate there
+    and can be used in the retracer as well.
+  * bin/apport-retrace: Drop LP specific bits and move to CrashDatabase
+    interface. Remove the --remove-tag option, we really should not have it
+    here; remove it from man/apport-retrace.1 as well.
+  * bin/apport-chroot: Drop --remove-tag option here, too.
+  * bin/apport-chroot: Drop LP specific bits and move to CrashDatabase
+    interface.
+  * bin/launchpad-crash-digger: Remove retracing tag directly instead of
+    passing --remove-tag to apport-chroot. This is a much cleaner design and
+    avoids infinitely looping on some weirdly failing retraces.
+  * debian/control: Bump some python-apport dependencies for the API changes.

+apport (0.63) feisty; urgency=low
+
+  New feature: fakechroot support for apport-retrace
+
+  * bin/apport-retrace:
+    - Simplify program design and throw away the complicated debug symbol
+      sandbox generation, along with the -d and -C options.  Instead, directly
+      install the missing packages and ddebs with apt. This makes the tool more
+      suitable for running in chroots and has often been requested anyway.
+    - Add option -u/--unpack-only which causes additionally installed packages
+      to be unpacked without being configured and purged again after
+      retracing. This allows apport-retrace to work under fakechroot and has
+      the nice side effect of speeding up package installation (we do not care
+      about configuration for retracing anyway).
+  * man/apport-retrace.1: Update description for the new behaviour, drop
+    documentation of the -d and -C options, and add documentation of -u.
+  * Add apport/chroot.py: Class for representing and working with chroots;
+    this uses the fakeroot and fakechroot libraries when being called as
+    non-root.
+  * Add bin/apport-chroot: CLI frontend for doing various things with
+    chroots (including fakeroot/fakechroot support from the Chroot class). For
+    now, this implements:
+    - create a chroot (tarball or directory)
+    - dist-upgrade a particular or all chroots
+    - apport-retrace a bug or Apport report file
+  * setup.py: Ship apport-chroot in scripts directory.
+  * Add a new package apport-retrace which ships apport-retrace and
+    apport-chroot and carries all the heavier dependencies (binutils,
+    python-launchpad-bugs, python-apt, etc.). Drop the latter two dependencies
+    from the apport package. This allows us to install the apport-retrace
+    package in fakechroots (not possible with apport itself) and avoid
+    unnecessary dependencies on normal desktop installations.

+  New feature: Infrastructure for package install/upgrade failures:
+
+  * Add bin/package_hook: Script for creating a report for a package
+    installation/upgrade failure. It receives a package name, a number of log
+    files, and an ErrorMessage: from stdin. This will be called from e.g.
+    dist-upgrader.
+  * setup.py, debian/apport.install: Ship package_hook.
+  * apport/ui.py: If ProblemType is 'Package', call a new function
+    self.ui_present_package_error() instead of presenting a crash. Add test
+    suite checks for the package error report workflow.
+  * apport/ui.py, create_crash_bug_title(): Create default bug title for
+    package reports. Add various test cases.
+  * gtk/apport-gtk{,.glade}: GTK implementation of ui_present_package_error().
+
+  New feature: Maintain a per-binary blacklist to inhibit apport crash reports
+  until the binary changes. Closes: LP#79408
+
+  * apport/report.py: Add new Report methods check_ignored() and mark_ignore()
+    to check for/set ignore list entries. Add test cases.
+  * apport/ui.py: Add another return value of ui_present_crash() to specify
+    whether or not to blacklist the current crash's executable. Check workflow
+    of both responses in the test suite.
+  * gtk/apport-gtk{,.glade}: Add a blacklist checkbox to the crash
+    notification dialogs.
+  * bin/apport: Do nothing if the current crash is blacklisted.
+  * test-apport: Test blacklisting.

+
+  * gtk/apport-gtk: Fix return code for restarting the application ('reopen' ->
+    'restart'). Closes: LP#81422
+  * test-apport: Adapt to new core_pattern kernel interface mode:
+    - Check core_pattern instead of the obsolete crashdump sysctl to determine
+      whether or not apport is running.
+    - Give apport max. 10 seconds to complete. The current kernel reaps the
+      crashed process as soon as writing the core dump to the pipe is
+      finished, but apport still needs to write the report file.
+    - Do not EXFAIL the test for crashes in nonwriteable cwd any more, since
+      it is now supposed to work (we do not write a core dump to the disk any
+      more).
+  * run-tests, use-local: Adapt to new core_pattern kernel interface.
+  * apport: Improve logging of exceptions, include environment variables.
+  * apport/report.py test suite: Use gdb to generate a test core dump, do not
+    rely on kill(SIGSEGV) and the kernel to do it (since we now use a pipe in
+    core_pattern).
+  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Fix return value of get_modified_files() if

+  Some more 'Need for Speed' optimizations:
+
+  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, _check_files_md5(): Also accept a md5sum
+    string in addition to a md5sum file.
+  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, get_modified_files(): Compare package file's
+    ctime and mtime against the package list file's mtime and only md5sum the
+    files that are newer. This drastically reduces the amount of md5suming
+    (usually to zero) and thus speeds up the information collection.
+  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py: Use a single hackish 'dpkg-query --show *'
+    as a portable variant of 'cat /var/lib/dpkg/status' to pre-fill the status
+    cache with all packages instead of calling dpkg -s on every single package
+    we query. This changes the time for figuring out dependencies and their
+    versions from 'unbearable for many packages' to 'barely noticeable'.
+
+  New feature: per-package apport hooks to collect additional information:
+
+  * apport/report.py: Add method add_hooks_info() which executes a function
+    add_info(report) from /usr/share/apport/<package>.py. Also add
+    appropriate test cases. This provides per-package hooks for apport.
+  * apport/ui.py: Call add_hooks_info() in the information collection thread.
+

+
+  * apport/report.py: Add some more test cases for _check_interpreted() for
+    Python scripts.
+  * apport/python_hook.py: Check for a correct ExecutablePath in
+    test_general().
+  * apport/python_hook.py: Use fileutils.likely_packaged() instead of
+    checking for /tmp and home, so that we ignore stuff in /usr/local, too.
+    Closes: LP#81244
+  * apport/python_hook.py: If we figure out an ExecutablePath which is not

+  * gtk/apport-gtk: Do not show any dialogs any more when filing a bug.
+  * Add apport/MultipartPostHandler.py: This module provides an urllib2 opener
+    for uploading file attachments to forms over HTTP POST. This module is
+    (C) 2006 Will Holcomb <[e-mail]> and was taken from
+    http://odin.himinbi.org/MultipartPostHandler.py. (This is a serious hole

+    and UI independent bits and provides UI hooks for concrete
+    implementations. This both makes it easy to write more frontends like Qt
+    or CLI, and also makes the code automatically testable. Add an extensive
+    testsuite.
+  * run-tests: Add ui.py testsuite.
+  * gtk/apport-gtk: Port to ui.py's UserInterface (which means moving 1/3 of
+    the code into the new ui_*() methods and throwing away the rest).
+  * Add apport/REThread.py: Enhanced threading.Thread class that can propagate
+    the return value and uncaught exceptions of run() to the calling thread.
+  * apport/ui.py: Get rid of thread_check_bugpatterns() and hackish exception
+    handling, rewrite using REThread.

+  * backends/packaging-dpkg.py, get_file_package(): Process list files in
+    chunks of 100, so that we do not exceed the maximum command line length if
+    there is a large number of packages installed. Closes: LP#64839
+  * gtk/apport-gtk: Use pgrep with -u instead of pidof for testing whether the

+
+  * apport: Remove _copy_shrink_corefile(): While this has an enormous impact
+    on the size of an uncompressed core dump, it only causes a negligible size
+    reduction of the bzip2'ed core, but it needs a lot of I/O resources for
+    large core dumps.
+  * problem_report.py:
+    - Use zlib instead of bzip2 for compressing the binary data (in
+      particular, core dumps). This results in slightly bigger files, but speeds
+      up compression a lot (30 seconds vs. ~2:45 minutes for a Firefox core dump
+      on my slow iBook). Closes: LP#61538

+  * test-apport: Do not require apport reports to contain gdb, packaging, and
+    OS information, since we are going to move them out of apport.
+  * apport: Do not collect static information. It requires a lot of CPU and
+    I/O resources and slows down the machine a lot, and it can be added to
+    the report later in the frontend. This also gets rid of the entire
+    InformationCollector class, since everything has been moved to

+  * Fix the GPL URLs in source file's copyright comments.
+  * debian/apport.cron.daily: Add -mindepth 1 to find commands to avoid

+  * problem_report.py:
+    - Fix precise whitespace handling in continuation lines, add selftest.

+  * apport: Call objcopy to throw out READONLY/CODE sections from the core
+    dump, which drastically reduces its (uncompressed) size (factor 2 to 10).
+    This has little effect on the bzip2'ed core dump, though.
+  * apport:
+    - Support an optional third command line argument which specifies the
+      location of a core dump.
+    - If a core dump is given, call gdb on the core dump instead of the
+      crashed process. We cannot attach to the latter if we are called by the
+      kernel (since the crashed process is in uninterruptible kernel sleep).
+    - If no core dump is given, do not attempt to do anything gdb related.
+    - This matches the future behaviour of the kernel crash dump helper while
+      remaining compatible to the previous call semantics.
+  * Add preloadlib/{Makefile,libapport.c}: LD_PRELOADable library which
+    emulates the future kernel behaviour. This is ONLY for testing and
+    development purposes. It uses unsafe temporary file handling and thus must
+    not be used on production boxes!
+  * Ship preloadlib/* as examples in package 'apport' for people who want to
+    play with it until the new kernel arrives.
+  * Add preloadlib/README: Explain how to use the preload library.

+  * gtk/apport-gtk.py: Do not delete reports after notifying about them. This
+    way, we do not need to add another button to save the report (which is
+    considered evil UI-wise), but still retain the report for filing and
+    examining later.
+  * Replace all usages of '/var/crash' to a new global variable in
+    apport_utils; this is particularly useful for test suites.
+  * apport.py: Overwrite old reports if they are seen.

+ stack traces.
+ .
+ This package also ships apport-chroot. This tool can create and
+ manage chroots for usage with apport-retrace. If the fakeroot and
+ fakechroot libraries are available (either by installing the packages
+ or by merely putting their libraries somewhere and setting two
+ environment variables), the entire process of retracing crashes in
+ chroots can happen with normal user privileges.
