* ARM: 5776/1: Check compiler version and EABI support when adding ARM unwind ↵Claudio Scordino2009-11-021-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | support. ARM unwind is known to compile only with EABI and not-buggy compilers. The problem is not the unwinding information but the -fno-frame-pointer option added as a result of !CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. Now we check the compiler and raise a #warning in case of wrong compiler.

* [ARM] 5558/1: Add extra checks to ARM unwinder to avoid tracing corrupt stacksCatalin Marinas2009-06-191-10/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are situations where the unwinder goes beyond stack boundaries and unwinds random data. This patch moves the stack boundaries check after the unwind_exec_insn() call and adds an extra check for possible infinite loops (like "mov pc, lr" with pc == lr). The patch also fixes a bug in the unwind instructions interpreter. The 0xb0 instruction can only set PC to LR if this wasn't already set by a previous instruction (this is used on exceptions taken while in kernel mode where svc_entry is annotated with ".save {r0 - pc}").

* [ARM] 5383/2: unwind: Add core support for ARM stack unwindingCatalin Marinas2009-02-191-0/+434
This patch adds the main functionality for parsing the stack unwinding information generated by the ARM EABI toolchains. The unwinding information consists of an index with a pair of words per function and a table with unwinding instructions.
