* [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Work around gcc bug with noreturn functions in unwinderJan Beulich2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder. This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach the unwinder to decode this. For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick. It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore. This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16 unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame [AK: added automatic detection of the new binutils and wrote description] Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
* [PATCH] x86: Detect CFI support in the assembler at runtimeAndi Kleen2006-09-26

This is useful to prevent compilation errors when users select CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND on old binutils and also allows to use CFI in the future for non kernel debugging applications.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Separate CONFIG_UNWIND_INFO from CONFIG_DEBUG_INFOJan Beulich2006-01-11
| | | | | | | | | As a follow-up to the introduction of CONFIG_UNWIND_INFO, this separates the generation of frame unwind information for x86-64 from that of full debug information. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] x86_64: More CFI fixes for 32bit entry codeJan Beulich2006-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | Frame unwind information was still incorrect for ia32_ptregs_common (sorry, my fault), and could be improved for some of the other entry points.

* [PATCH] x86-64: Fix CFI informationJan Beulich2005-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | Being the foundation for reliable stack unwinding, this fixes CFI unwind annotations in many low-level x86_64 routines, plus a config option (available to all architectures, and also present in the previously sent patch adding such annotations to i386 code) to enable them separatly rather than only along with adding full debug information.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
