1316675 - Need symbols for libsystem_pthread.dylib

Status: NEW

(Socorro :: Symbols, task)

Description

[Andrew McCreight [:mccr8]]

Presumably this is the OS X pthread library. I don't know how useful symbols will be, but it would at least let us add this to the prefix or skip list to get to an interesting signature.

For example, bp-7d1f42f3-afb7-40d4-8f6c-002cd2161108

Since I got my scripts working to scrape symbols out of Apple's system updates (bug 1301471), this is generally much better. We're still missing symbols for the initial release versions of macOS, because those aren't published as updates. This is pretty clear if you facet search results by OS version:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/search/?proto_signature=~libsystem_pthread&product=Firefox&date=%3E%3D2018-01-16T06%3A19%3A05.000Z&date=%3C2018-01-23T06%3A19%3A05.000Z&_sort=-date&_facets=signature&_facets=platform_pretty_version&_columns=date&_columns=signature&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform#facet-platform_pretty_version

The table looks like this when I run this search right now:
1	OS X 10.11 	1899	82.67 %
2	OS X 10.12 	201	8.75 %
3	OS X 10.13 	77	3.35 %
4	OS X 10.10 	75	3.27 %
5	OS X 10.9 	44	1.92 %
6	OS X 10.90 	1	0.04 %

So we presumably have symbols for 10.12.X, just not 10.12 itself. I looked into scraping symbols for other things in bug 1361055, but I ran into some roadblocks and didn't get back to it.

Gabriele: Any idea if this is fixed at this point?

This bug is fixed in the sense that we have symbols for libsystem_pthread.dylib for most versions of macOS but as Ted mentioned we still don't have symbols for the base versions of the OS, only the updates. I'd close this since the important bug tracking that is bug 1361055.
