CrashKill/2013-01-28

General

• bug 806820 is dominating all desktop branches and is even rising on mobile.

Socorro

• Issues last week causing a dip in crash data for at least 22nd - 24th, see bug 834403, should be backfilled today.
  • backfill bug

Flash

Looks like Adobe has been busy fixing a lot of 11.5 and 11.6 regressions in 11.6 betas, they promise more of those in this week's beta.

Desktop

Beta

• Maybe we should really still take the UUID bump on nsIPrefBranch (bug 828296) on 19?
• bug 817568 (StringCchCopyNW) is now #10 in 19.0b3, a number of those startup crashes seem to be from a single user, though.

Aurora

Release

18 crash rates still look pretty bad.

• bug 806820, "the Facebook crasher", has become significantly worse, #1 with >20% of all 18.0.1 crashes over the last 3 days.
  • Patch in bug 831626 apparently helped on trunk, we need to get this uplifted where we can, maybe even do an 18.0.2 for it.
• bug 783369, "the Norton crash", seems to have improved, but still #3 with >3%.
  • Others like bug 803963 (Avira, #18), bug 828184 (Websense, #198), maybe even malware-related bug 801394 are caused by the missing UUID bump on nsIPrefBranch (bug 828296).
• bug 801394, "the malware crash", is continuing to drop, now #24 with 0.3%
  • Another variant of the malware was found and possibly should be submitted to AV vendors.

Trunk

• bug 827946 is a Linux (!) crash that now is #3 overall on 21.0a1 over the last week.

Mobile

• Fennec Graph
• Also to note there was a dip in ADU from the channel change:
  • ADU
  • being backfilled.

• Nightly and Aurora on the climb.
  • Both show:
    • bug 827171 nsPluginStreamListenerPeer::OnStartRequest(nsIRequest*, nsISupports*)
    • bug 705641 mozalloc_abort(char const*) | NS_DebugBreak_P | mozilla::layers::LayerManagerOGL
    • bug 778175 - Startup crash on devices incompatible with OpenGL ES 2.0 (e.g. HTC Wildfire)
    • bug 771774 - crash with eglMakeCurrent failed (EGL error 3000) and abort message: "OpenGL-accelerated layers are a hard requirement on this platform [...]" on Vivante GPUs (e.g. in Rockchip rk29board, imapx200 and Vimicro chipsets)
  • Aurora also shows:
    • bug 830131 - java.lang.NullPointerException: at org.mozilla.gecko.InputMethods.needsSoftResetWorkaround(InputMethods.java)
• Beta :
  • bug 800838 - Android crash in nsNPAPIPluginInstance::UnscheduleTimer @ nsNPAPIPluginInstance::TimerWithID
    • bug was reopened and fixed again (1/24);need push to aurora : see comment 51
  • bug 823236 - crash in mozilla::layers::ShmemYCbCrImage::IsValid on ICS and above
• Release
  • bug 752828 - android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabaseLockedException: database is locked at android.database.sqlite.SQLiteStatement.native_executeSql(Native Method) on ICS
  • a lot more libdvm.so crashes have happened.

• A Search by OS per crash signature would be helpful ; filed bug 835444

B2G

• Main tracking bugs in relation to b2g crash reporting:
  • bug 833574 - (b2g-frontend-crash-reporting) [Meta] Other Crash Reporting Bugs
  • bug 761905 - (b2g-crash-reporting) Tracking: Crash reporting for b2g (gonk)
    • Possible graph per carrier

• QA Work:
  • Rough Draft of B2G Crash Reporting
  • Need a cumulative tally script for the week or at least 3 days.
    • For beta channel those would come from socorro.

• Top crashes:
  • bug 834164 - [Camera] Camera crash after opened video app and played a video
  • bug 834372 - crash in mozilla::layers::BasicShadowableThebesLayer::CreateBuffer with abort message: "creating ThebesLayer 'back buffer' failed! width=2621440, height=2064384, type=3000"

• Crash Related:
  • bug 827833 - B2G crash in [@ mozalloc_abort | NS_DebugBreak_P | mozilla::layers::PImageContainerChild::FatalError]
    • should be fixed
