8d5b1aeeff SuperH port
Add support for the 32bit SuperH architecture running Linux.
Specifically, support is added for SH4, and support for earlier SH
versions and to the 64bit SH5 are left out. This was tested in qemu with
a little-endian SH4 debian image & GCC 4.7 cross compiler.

79c2c254a7 MIPS coredump support
Add MIPS support to the coredump library. Explicit support for the MIPS
program counter register is added so that we can start backtracing from
the program counter value we read from a core dump. The PC register
support was not strictly required for local backtracing, and we will in
fact just plug the return address to the PC register in getcontext().

I have only tested the 32bit "OABI" paths.

c2d6f85a0a Use __sync builtin atomics on all architectures if available
We can use the __sync builtin atomics also on other architectures than

adding support for the newer GCC __atomic atomics should be fairly easy.

9a3565ddc1 Simplify `sos_alloc()' implementation
Instead of maintaining a pointer to the `sos_memory' array, maintain an

5f38f35d5d Drop a call frame in tdep_trace and avoid a call to unw_step.
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.

a9dce3c06e During the stack unwinding process, the return address points to
the instruction after the call for a normal frame. libunwind uses
IP-1 to lookup unwind information. However, this is not necessary for

the kernel context.

This patch handles both cases correctly.

This is similar to what has been done on other archs and resolves an out of

839db77b7b Wait if there is contention on the cache
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.

Thanks,

2fce54102c Implement _Unwind_GetIPInfo() as required by the C++ ABI
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.

ef29eade44 This patch eliminates one system call per unwind by not using the
getcontext in libc.

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.

649f1fb344 [X86-64] For local unwinding, we have a defence mechanism against
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.
