Add interface for configurable dwarf cache size
* Use item size and round up to nearest power of 2.
* Initial cache still exists in BSS. Without this, it means we would fail
backtrace when out of memory. The test-mem test fails without this
GCC versions 4.9~current will often generate stack alignment prologues like:
lea 0x8(%rsp),%r10
and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rsp
...
push %rbp
mov %rsp, %rbp
push %r10
resulting in dwarf expressions:
DW_CFA_def_cfa_expression (DW_OP_breg6: -8; DW_OP_deref)
DW_CFA_expression: r6 (rbp) (DW_OP_breg6: 0)
These prologues seem to be generated for SSE/AVX code, but sometimes
other times as well.
tdep_trace fastpath currently falls back to the slow dwarf parsing path
if it encounters any cfa_expressions. Unfortunately this is happening
often enough in our codebase to cause perf issues. We could also fix the
fallback path (make the rs cache bigger, lock-free instead of locking, etc),
but that seems like a separate issue, and it will ever be as fast as the tracing
code. Our binaries each have at least ~100 functions in them like this.
This patch teaches the tdep_trace about the two specific cfa_expressions,
which really just result in a single extra memory dereference of the stack
at a fixed offset from rbp.
Due to a bug in the gold linker[1], the .eh_frame and .eh_frame_hdr
sections contains garbage. When dwarf_extract_proc_info_from_fde tried
to look up the begin of the CIE subsection, it would underflow the
.eh_frame segment, resulting in a crash[2].
This patch avoids that crash by checking whether the CIE pointer is
located after the begin of the .eh_frame section. The variable "base"
was misused in various places as a boolean (decode as .debug_frame or
decode as .eh_frame). These instances have been renamed to
is_debug_frame where applicable.
Tested on Linux x86_64.

After the following change the Lrs-race test case starts to intermittently
fails:
eac65dc Add basic support for the QNX operating system
When we include "config.h" into the "libunwind_i.h" we undefine
the HAVE___THREAD macro in a few lines below in #include "config.h"
pragma. The change eac65dc includes "config.h" into the "dwarf.h"
but forgets to undefine HAVE___THREAD. So now this macro has inconsistent
state among the code. Somewhere it is defined, somewhere not. In particular
it becomes defined in the mi/Gset_caching_policy.c and we do not replace
UNW_CACHE_PER_THREAD caching policy by the UNW_CACHE_GLOBAL.
The fix is rather dirty. It adds the code to undefine HAVE___THREAD in
the "dwarf.h" like we do that in the "libunwind_i.h". Probably the ideal
solution should fix per-thread caching implementation or turned it off
at all on platforms where it is not completely and correctly supported.

Ubuntu's libc-bin (2.15-0ubuntu20.2) on x86_64 uses DW_CFA_val_expression
in describing the pthread spinlock operations __lll_unlock_wake() and
__lll_lock_wait(). libunwind 1.1 doesn't understand that opcode and
so backtraces from those operations are truncated.
This changeset adds basic support for it, by adding a new type to
dwarf_loc_t that describes the register's actual contents rather than
its location. I've only implemented the new type for x86_64, and
stubbed it out for all other architectures -- it looks like a lot
of that code is duplicated so oughtn't to be that hard, but I don't
have test cases for them.
Tested that DW_CFA_val_expression works on x86_64 (by using
https://code.google.com/p/gperftools/ on a lock-heavy program).
Build-tested on x86, x86_64 and arm. The unit tests don't pass for me
on any of those archs, but this cset doesn't break anything that was
passing before.

This change adds some special cases to allow libunwind to compile
for QNX.
* QNX's copy of <elf.h> and <link.h> reside in sys/ instead. To deal
with this, an AC_CHECK_HEADERS() was added to check for the files
in both locations.
* Similarly, QNX does not have <endian.h>. In cases where the file is
not found, logic was added to refer to QNX-specific macros to determine
endianness.
* The QCC compiler, which is a wrapper around GCC, cannot handle some
standard GCC options. Therefore, logic was added to check for QCC,
and when it is found, to suppress the use of -lgcc, and to express the
option -nostartfiles as -Wc,-nostartfiles instead, which is correctly
passed on to the underlying GCC.
* Finally, the support file os-qnx.c was added, patterned after the existing
os-*.c files. Only local image lookup is currently supported (see the
comments for more information), but this is sufficient for QNX, since
ptrace is not supported there anyway, and that is the only case where the
function is required to do remote image lookup.

Since the dl_iterate_phdr is required for local unwinding only the use of
struct dl_phdr_info can be eliminated in case libunwind gets compiled for
remote unwinding. This enhances libunwinds portability to targets that
don't provide any dl_iterate_phdr functionality.

Exclude <link.h> because it is only required for local unwinding when
iterating over the program headers.
Have the following DWARF related functions available in case of
UNW_REMOTE_ONLY because they are used by libunwind-ptrace:
dwarf_find_debug_frame
locate_debug_info
find_binary_for_address
load_debug_frame
debug_frame_tab_new
debug_frame_tab_append
debug_frame_tab_shrink
debug_frame_tab_compare

Adds new function to perform a pure stack walk without unwinding,
functionally similar to backtrace() but accelerated by an address
attribute cache the caller maintains across calls.
the instruction after the call for a normal frame. libunwind uses
IP-1 to lookup unwind information. However, this is not necessary for
interrupted frames such as signal frames (or interrupt frames) in
the kernel context.
This patch handles both cases correctly.
Based on work by Mark Wielaard <mwielaard@redhat.com>
The behavior on wait vs abort unwind depends on the locking primitive
chosen by the user. This makes the API consistent and independent of
the locking primitive.
include/dwarf.h: Declare dwarf_reg_state_pool and dwarf_cie_info_pool.
include/dwarf_i.h: Include libunwind_i.h instead of tdep.h.
Make dwarf_to_unw_regnum() a macro so it doesn't get compiled
into an object file merely because it include dwarf_i.h (important
when optimization is turned off).
(dwarf_read_encoded_pointer_inlined): New function.
include/tdep-x86/libunwind_i.h: Add include of "mempool.h".
include/tdep-x86_64/libunwind_i.h: Add include of "mempool.h".
