We can use the __sync builtin atomics also on other architectures than
IA64. GCC 4.7 documentation notes that these builtins are ``legacy'' --
adding support for the newer GCC __atomic atomics should be fairly easy.
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).
tdep_get_func_addr in ppc64 passes NULL for the last argument of
as->access_mem. tdep_get_func_addr is called by elf_w(lookup_symbol),
which in turn is called by elf_w(get_proc_name_in_image).
elf_w(get_proc_name_in_image) is part of the API, and is only passed an
unw_addr_space_t, not a unw_cursor_t, meaning that we cannot recover the
UPT_info on the PPC64 platform.
This could be fixed by giving libunwind the knowledge to perform
relocations itself, thus not needing to look at the running image to
determine function addresses.
Disable the building of libunwind-coredump except on x86_64 and x86
(where implimentations exsist).
Allow overriding of this autodetection via --enable-coredump and
--disable-coredump.
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:
In file included from src/coredump/_UCD_access_reg_freebsd.c:26:
src/coredump/_UCD_internal.h:102:1: warning: "ALIGN" redefined

Unwinding over ptrace and unwinding coredump fail to lookup the
.debug_frame dwarf data when the ELF file text segment virtual address
is non-zero. Looking at some binaries, the virtual address is non-zero
for non-pie binaries, and zero for PIC shared libraries and PIE
executables.
The core dump unwinder can be used for demonstrating the bug. Without
this patch, the unwinding fails badly (testing with a ARM qemu image):
$ UNW_ARM_UNWIND_METHOD=1 ./test-coredump-unwind core `cat backing_files`
test-coredump-unwind: unw_get_proc_info(ip=0x86d8) failed: ret=-10
After applying this patch, we can unwind all the way until running out
of dwarf data:

Note how the binary itself is mapped to address 0x8000, the virtual

After successfully stepping the cursor on ARM, the proc info is
invalidated only in dwarf_step(). Invalidate the proc info also when
stepping with the non-dwarf based methods. This fixes
unw_get_proc_info() returning stale data.
The core dump unwinder can be used for demonstrating the bug. When
unwinding based only on DWARF data, the proc info is correct:
$ UNW_ARM_UNWIND_METHOD=1 ./test-coredump-unwind core `cat backing_files` 2>/dev/null
ip=0x000086d8 proc=000086d4-000086dc handler=0x00000000 lsda=0x00000000
ip=0x000086ef proc=000086dc-000086f2 handler=0x00000000 lsda=0x00000000
ip=0x000086e7 proc=000086dc-000086f2 handler=0x00000000 lsda=0x00000000
ip=0x00008597 proc=00008584-0000859a handler=0x00000000 lsda=0x00000000
ip=0x76e3ac3b proc=76e3aba0-76e3acec handler=0x00000000 lsda=0x00000000
When unwinding based only on the exidx method, we see the proc info
lagging behind:
$ UNW_ARM_UNWIND_METHOD=4 ./test-coredump-unwind core `cat backing_files` 2>/dev/null
ip=0x000086d8 proc=000086d4-000086db handler=0x00000000 lsda=0x00000000
ip=0x000086ef proc=000086d4-000086db handler=0x00000000 lsda=0x00000000
ip=0x000086e7 proc=000086dc-000086f3 handler=0x00000000 lsda=0x00000000
ip=0x00008597 proc=000086dc-000086f3 handler=0x00000000 lsda=0x00000000
ip=0x76e3ac3b proc=00008584-0000859b handler=0x00000000 lsda=0x00000000
ip=0x000085c3 proc=76e3aba0-76e3ae4b handler=0x00000000 lsda=0x00000000
Finally, with this patch applied, we get the desired proc info also with
the exidx unwinder:
$ UNW_ARM_UNWIND_METHOD=4 ./test-coredump-unwind core `cat backing_files` 2>/dev/null
ip=0x000086d8 proc=000086d4-000086db handler=0x00000000 lsda=0x00000000

Implement the Linux version of _UCD_access_reg() for ARM. We can
sidestep the register number remapping, as the libunwind register
numbers match one-to-one to the ELF core file register numbers.
As far as I can tell, AC_FUNC_MEMCMP is useless for us. It checks for
some obscure `memcmp' bugs on some ancient systems, and gives us a
chance to provide a working `memcmp'. Since we're not shipping with a
local copy of a `memcmp', it makes no difference whether or not the test
fails. And when cross-compiling, the test automatically fails, as it
tries to compile and run a test program:
checking for working memcmp... no
Quoting autoconf docs: ``This macro is obsolescent, as current systems
have a working memcmp. New programs need not use this macro.''
test-varargs is checking how `backtrace()' provided by the system
behaves when varargs are used. Let's make the test more useful by
changing it to test the `backtrace()' provided by libunwind.
Change the testcase to return 0/1 for success/failure, and add it to the
set of checks, so that it gets run on `make check'. Also call
`unw_backtrace()' explicitly so that we do not need to bother with
`execinfo.h' and `backtrace()' prototype.
Just pass potentially NULL pointers to free() in the error path in
load_debug_frame(). Saved 40 bytes of code in libunwind.so on ARM -O2
thumb build at the expense of slightly slower execution.
Stop pretending that unw_get_proc_info() works on PPC, and instead give
an error back to the caller. As far as I can tell, none of the libunwind
tests clear out the `unw_proc_info_t' before passing it to
unw_get_proc_info(), so they would end up working on garbage data.
