532713 - Mac minidumper doesn't decode extended family ids

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, defect)

Description

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

It does:
      info_ptr->processor_revision =
       (info_ptr->cpu.x86_cpu_info.version_information & 0xF) |
       ((info_ptr->cpu.x86_cpu_info.version_information & 0xF0) << 4);

This ignores the extended model number.

It should be doing something like:
      info_ptr->processor_revision =
       (info_ptr->cpu.x86_cpu_info.version_information & 0xF) |
       ((info_ptr->cpu.x86_cpu_info.version_information & 0xF0) << 4) |
       ((info_ptr->cpu.x86_cpu_info.version_information & 0xF00) >> 4);

That should be:

       ((info_ptr->cpu.x86_cpu_info.version_information & 0xF0000) >> 4);

Ted, can you push this through to breakpad upstream for me.

Hmmm.  AMD documentation suggests that the extended family and extended model should only be used when the family is 0xF.  Intel documentation suggests that extended model info should *always* be used.  (I couldn't find either saying 0xF or 0x6.)

The intel instruction manual I was  (http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/manual/253666.pdf) has this to say:

CPUID—CPU Identification 
The Extended Family ID needs to be examined only when the Family ID is 0FH. Integrate the fields into a display using the following rule: 


IF Family_ID ≠ 0FH 
  THEN Displayed_Family = Family_ID; 
  ELSE Displayed_Family = Extended_Family_ID + Family_ID; 
  (* Right justify and zero-extend 4-bit field. *) 
FI; 

(* Show Display_Family as HEX field. *) 

The Extended Model ID needs to be examined only when the Family ID is 06H or 0FH. 
Integrate the field into a display using the following rule:

IF (Family_ID = 06H or Family_ID = 0FH) 
  THEN Displayed_Model = (Extended_Model_ID << 4) + Model_ID; 
  (* Right justify and zero-extend 4-bit field; display Model_ID as HEX field.*) 
  ELSE Displayed_Model = Model_ID; 
FI; 
(* Show Display_Model as HEX field. *)

Too many pieces of contradictory documentation.  The one you used sounds like a reasonable middle ground, though.

I'll land this upstream and in mozilla-central for you. Also, apparently I wrote that cpuid block in the first place. I guess I completely forgot about that.

Landed upstream:
http://code.google.com/p/google-breakpad/source/detail?r=440

I'll land this on trunk shortly as part of bug 514188.

If you want this on branches, feel free to twiddle the appropriate flags.
