4//! This module implements a crashtracker based on catching UNIX signals and
5//! uploading the result to the backend.
6//!
7//! Architecturally, it consists of two parts:
8//! 1. A signal handler, which catches a UNIX signal (SIGSEGV, SIGBUS, SIGABRT)
9//!    associated with a crash, and and collects information about the state of
10//!    the program at crash time.  The signal handler runs under a constrained
11//!    environment where many standard operations are illegal.
12//!    <https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/signal-safety.7.html>
13//!    In particular, memory allocation, and synchronization such as mutexes, are
14//!    potentially UB.  The signal handler therefore does as little as possible
15//!    in process, and instead writes data across a socket to a separate receiver
16//!    process.
17//!    The signal handler then waits for the receiver process to exit in order to reap its exit
18//!    status (otherwise, upon the termination of the crashing process the child will be
19//!    re-parented to PID 1 in the current PID namespace, which can be problematic for some user
20//!    applications) and restores the previous signal handler.
21//!    Once the receiver has completed, the crash-handler returns, allowing the
22//!    previous crash handler (if any) to execute, maintaining the customer
23//!    experience as much as possible.
24//! 2. The receiver process, which is spawned by the signal handler.  It is connected by an
25//!    anynomous AF_UNIX `socketpair()` to the parent process. When a crash occurs, the receiver
26//!    gathers the information from the pipe, adds additional data about the system state (e.g.
27//!    /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/meminfo), formats it into a crash report, uploads it to the backend,
28//!    and then exits. The signal handler must wait for the receiver in order to reap its exit
29//!    status.
30//!
31//! Data collected:
32//! 1. The data collected by the crash-handler includes:
33//!    1. The signal type leading to the crash
34//!    2. The stacktrace at time of crash (for the crashing thread). Depending on a flag, this can
35//!       either be resolved, or raw addresses. Resolving addresses provide more data, but sometimes
36//!       crashes the crash handler (ironic).
37//!    3. System level info (e.g. /proc/self/maps).
38//!    4. The result of counters describing the current state of the profiler.
39//! 2. Data augmented by the receiver includes:
40//!    1. Metadata provided by the caller (e.g. library & profiler versions).
41//!    2. System info: OS version, /proc/cpuinfo /proc/meminfo, etc.
42//!    3. A timestamp and GUID for tracking the crash report.
43//!
44//! Handling of forks
45//! Safety issues
