By default, the start_ip_offset in libunwind's table_entry struct is
relative to the unw_dyn_info_t's segbase. This presents a problem
for us in conjunction with using LLVM's MCJIT because it likes to
spread text sections and the corresponding eh_frame sections quite
far apart. This represents my attempt to support this use case in the
simplest manner that is backwards compatible, by adding a new format
kind (UNW_INFO_FORMAT_REMOTE_TABLE2) that indicates that the
`start_ip_offset` should be interpreted as relative to `start_ip`
rather than segbase.
Fix returning the name of the function containing the frame PC,
for the non-interrupted frames. The symbol lookup code should
take use_prev_instr value into account, otherwise it could return
the name of the function adjacent to the caller.
Instead of maintaining a pointer to the `sos_memory' array, maintain an
index that tells the next free position. When atomic operations are
available, the allocation boils down to a single fetch-and-add
operation.
To ensure that we return properly aligned pointers from sos_alloc(),
MAX_ALIGN must be a power-of-two. On i386 the power-of-two assumption
fails as sizeof(long double) = 12. Fix this by rounding up to 16.
Use the __BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT__ macro provided by GCC for sos_alloc()
allocation alignment. The macro gives ``the largest alignment ever used
for any data type on the target machine you are compiling for.''
__BIGGEST_ALIGNMENT__ also has some other nice properties, e.g. it is
power-of-two on all architectures (note that on i386, sizeof(long
double) = 12), and on some architectures (e.g. SuperH) the alignment
requirement can be lower than sizeof(long double).
Rename the `ALIGN' macro to `UNW_ALIGN', and move it from
`_UCD_internal.h' to `libunwind_i.h' so that we can share it with the
mempool code. `ALIGN' was clashing with system headers on FreeBSD:

Insert static branch prediction predicates in useful places and avoid
unnecessary code in the hottest paths. Bypass unnecessary indirect
calls, in particular to access_mem(), when known to be safe.
Since the fast unwinding code path doesn't need the full context,
a faster target dependent getcontext is implemented.

Dropping the extra frame for unw_backtrace itself using unw_step is
approximately 15% slower than skipping the frame in tdep_trace. So
drop the frame in the latter, and make the function a private
implementation detail for libunwind, not an exported interface.
Also moves unw_getcontext call back into unw_backtrace to avoid an
extra call frame in case slow_backtrace does not get inlined into
unw_backtrace.
