Auto merge of rust-lang#24344 - gfxmonk:update-libbacktrace, r=pnkfelix
On linux, certain crashes can cause rust's backtrace generation code to consume huge amounts of memory (multiple gigabytes) when trying to generate a backtrace (e.g. servo/servo#5340).
I tracked this down to a bug in libbacktrace's allocation strategy when processing large binaries, and thankfully it's already been fixed upstream.
The change which fixes this specific issue is r210256, and is discussed here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-05/msg00547.html
I assume we'd prefer to update libbacktrace wholesale, rather than cherry-picking individual patches, so this PR updates libbacktrace to the latest code from svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk/libbacktrace (r220112).
I've copied the upstream code and reapplied the parts of the following commits which touch src/libbacktrace:
- cd8f317
- fcb30a0
I have not reapplied f576579 or d51047d, as those are both cosmetic cleanups applied to the entire codebase. For this directory, it seems worthwhile diverging as little as possible from upstream, to reduce the effort of future updates. But I can add them as well if preferred.
