routine and add address-space argument. This is needed because on
PPC64, a the function-name symbol refers to a function descriptor
(unlike, for example, on ia64, where the @fptr() operator is needed to
refer to a function descriptor). Thus, in order to look up the name
of a function, we need to dereference the function descriptor. To
make matters more "interesting", the function descriptors are normally
resolved by the dynamic linker, so we can't get their values from the
ELF file. Instead, we have to read them from the running image, hence
the need for the address-space argument.
This is so that the source file gets distributed and _ucontext_i.h is
generated properly on the target machine.

When libunwind is linked with a C++ program that throws exceptions,
the exception that's thrown is passed in %rax. However, libc's
setcontext clears %rax, causing problems.
This patch implements a setcontext that doesn't clobber rax.
TBD: Add dwarf CFI annotations

CFA should be incremented by 16 in the hope that the previous frame
may have valid unwind info.
Also increase the default frame pointer recognition heuristic from 4k
to 16k.

a signal-trampoline, assume that it's a PLT stub.
If non-DWARF stepping fails to change IP and CFA, declare
it a bad frame.

(unw_step): Also print IP as part of the function-trace.

(unw_step): When dwarf_step() fails on a signal-frame, fill in all
the known locations because dwarf_step() fails on older
kernels which don't export the kernel vDSO even though every-
thing else may be providing proper DWARF unwind-info.

Add Debug statement for return-value.

(my_rt_sigreturn): New function.
(x86_64_local_resume): Use my_rt_sigreturn(). The normal sigreturn()
does nothing (returns with an error).

eh_valid_mask bit is set, read from eh_args[] instead.

(tdep_access_reg): Treat UNW_X86_64_RSP exactly like UNW_X86_64_CFA.

In theory, this may not be needed. In practice, I find that
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3, the _start() routine has
no unwind-info, but we need to be able to unwind into this
routine to find the end-of-frame-chain marker (RBP == 0).
