This patch add support for resuming at a certain stack frame even if signal
frames are involved. For restoring the registers the trampoline (sigreturn)
is used. RT and non-RT signal frames are handled for both >=2.6.18 and
<2.6.18 kernels.

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.
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.
Using malloc is not an option since unw_init_local and unw_step are supposed
to be async signal safe. Therefore this code path can be removed.

There is no need for libunwind to set/fake a name of the elf file from which

This eliminates the arm_stackframe and therefore the need to synchronize the
two models. It also clears the way for unwinding call stacks with mixed
DWARF- and extbl-frames.

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.
Greetings,
Here is the second part, actually implementing the configure option.

New configure option to allow caller to block signals.
Provide a special implementation for ia64, because the unwind
information is such that an IP adjustment is not necessary before
looking up unwind info.
Bad things happen if libunwind only provides parts of the ABI and
the rest come from libgcc.

Also cleanup the namespace (check-name-space passes on x86_64 now).
Replace uses of offsets.h with ucontext_i.h.
Rename _x86_64_setcontext to _Ux86_64_setcontext.
TBD: Add CFI annotations for get/setcontext.

bad/missing unwind information, which could result in libunwind
dereferencing bad pointers. This mechanism is based on msync(2) system
call and significantly reduces the chances of a bad pointer
dereference in libunwind.
The original idea was to turn this mechanism on only when necessary
i.e. libunwind didn't find proper unwind information for a IP.
There are a couple of problems in the current implementation.
* The flag is global and is modified without locking
* The flag isn't reset when starting a new unwind
The attached patch makes ->validate a per-thread setting by moving it
into struct cursor from unw_local_addr_space and resets it to false
when starting a new unwind. As a result, cursor->as_arg points to the
cursor itself instead of the ucontext (for the local case).
This was found to reduce the number of msync() system calls from an
application using libunwind significantly.

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.

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).

Yes, it casts to signed, but then converts right back to
