General

Previous Action Items

• [DONE] juanb to file xtls.dll crash (release, beta) - bug 987531
• Naoki to try and contact Geeksphone on their 1.5 crashes

Socorro

• For some fun with crash comments, see Adrian's "dogeboard"

Desktop

• BitGuard crash bug 985922 is #1 on 27 but hasn't been spiking as much as expected when we unthrottled 28 again.
• Spike across channels: bug 989992 mozilla::dom::XULDocument::OnScriptCompileComplete or js::frontend::TokenStream::getTokenInternal with jid1-vW9nopuIAJiRHw@jetpack add-on

Beta

• Total crash volume is up ~0.3-0.4 crashes / 100 ADI compared to 28.
• Did comparisons of Beta 28 and Beta 29 via explosiveness last week, those regressions show up:
  • bug 988548 (Intel gfx driver via D2D and canvas2d) is pretty large, probably #1 in sum, half of the whole regression
  • bug 970362 (F-Secure)
  • bug 988961 InitFromBailout (bug 985228 is similar but about trunk tests)
  • a few net::Seer crashes (either need new bug or bug 987248)
  • bug 988619 is expected side effect of security fixes (probably moving other crashes to that signature)
  • bug 976536 (GC) is waiting for Till, who is back from vacation
  • bug 856796 (Yarr) existed before but regressed significantly
  • bug 976181 (nsContentUtils::IsCallerChrome) now assigned to bholley
  • bug 987531 (xtls.dll) occurring on multiple branches, external cause

Trunk

• bug 619558 has enabled GGC on trunk with the Nightly build of 2014-03-29, please expect and report new JS crashes, some signatures like those involving "Nursery" are a dead giveaway, but other areas can be affected.

Notes

• KaiRo has a blog post (written in the first week of March) on long-term graph and efficiency of the stability program, but wants OK/review from PR and they ended up being busy first with GDC and releases and now with something different. Hopefully this will resolve soon. Dynamic long-term stability graphs also exist now but will point the group to them only once the blog post is out.
