1492815 - Fennec/GeckoView crash reporter includes the StackTraces annotation in reports

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, enhancement)

Description

[Gabriele Svelto [:gsvelto] (PTO)]

The 'StackTraces' annotation is generated by the minidump-analyzer tool and handed over to the code that assembles the crash ping. It is not needed in a crash report since it's derived from the dump and has an adverse effect on our infrastructure because it's pretty large, see bug 1362048. Unfortunately we're still sending it in in Fennec; GeckoView doesn't generate it yet but lacks the code to remove it so we might fix that as well before adding client-side stack-walking support to it.

This patch prevents Fennec/GeckoView crash reporters from sending the large,
useless StackTraces field when submitting a report. I've also taken the
liberty of removing an obsolete crash annotate that was being added to
Fennec's reports.
