"""Extracts the unwind tables in from breakpad symbol files
Runs dump_syms on the given binary file and extracts the CFI data into the
given output file.
The output file is a binary file containing CFI rows ordered based on function
address. The output file only contains rows that match the most popular rule
type in CFI table, to reduce the output size and specify data in compact format.
1. The CFA rules should be of postfix form "SP <val> +".
2. The RA rules should be of postfix form "CFA <val> + ^".
Note: breakpad represents dereferencing address with '^' operator.
The output file has 2 tables UNW_INDEX and UNW_DATA, inspired from ARM EHABI
format. The first table contains function addresses and an index into the
UNW_DATA table. The second table contains one or more rows for the function
unwind information.
The output file starts with 4 bytes counting the number of entries in UNW_INDEX.
Then UNW_INDEX table and UNW_DATA table.
UNW_INDEX contains two columns of N rows each, where N is the number of
functions.
1. First column 4 byte rows of all the function start address as offset from
start of the binary, in sorted order.
2. For each function addr, the second column contains 2 byte indices in order.
The indices are offsets (in count of 2 bytes) of the CFI data from start of
UNW_DATA.
The last entry in the table always contains CANT_UNWIND index to specify the
end address of the last function.
UNW_DATA contains data of all the functions. Each function data contains N rows.
The data found at the address pointed from UNW_INDEX will be:
2 bytes: N - number of rows that belong to current function.
N * 4 bytes: N rows of data. 16 bits : Address offset from function start.
14 bits : CFA offset / 4.
2 bits : RA offset / 4.
The function is not added to the unwind table in following conditions:
C1. If length of the function code (number of instructions) is greater than
0xFFFF (2 byte address span). This is because we use 16 bits to refer to
offset of instruction from start of the address.
C2. If the function moves the SP by more than 0xFFFF bytes. This is because we
use 14 bits to denote CFA offset (last 2 bits are 0).
C3. If the Return Address is stored at an offset >= 16 from the CFA. Some
functions which have variable arguments can have offset upto 16.
TODO(ssid): We can actually store offset 16 by subtracting 1 from RA/4 since
we never have 0.
C4: Some functions do not have unwind information defined in dwarf info. These
functions have index value CANT_UNWIND(0xFFFF) in UNW_INDEX table.
Usage:
extract_unwind_tables.py --input_path [root path to unstripped chrome.so]
--output_path [output path] --dump_syms_path [path to dump_syms binary]
