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
ip=0x000086ef proc=000086dc-000086f3 handler=0x00000000 lsda=0x00000000

The ARM EABI does not use the .eh_frame and .eh_frame_hdr sections for unwinding. Therefore it doesn't make sense to call dwarf_step if CONFIG_DEBUG_FRAME is not defined.
Prevents unw_step from trying to unwind the stack using the ARM specific
unwind tables in case the DWARF based unwinding was successful.

Change _UPTi_find_unwind_table to also look for the ARM specific unwind
information. Adjust the ARM unwind code to read memory using the accessor
routines.

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.

In order to have the DWARF_* macros working properly a generic and a local
variant of the ex_tables.c have been created.

DWARF expressions are more powerful than the ARM specific unwind tables.
Therefore DWARF should be the preferred unwind method.

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.

Uses ex_tables routines to provide a new means of unwinding the stack.
Set UNW_ARM_UNWIND_METHOD=4 to use ARM-specific unwinding tables.
