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.
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.
