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.

This patch adds a few more patterns to the check that detects if the IP
points to a sigreturn sequence.

Define an appropriate fdesc struct and its corresponding accessors that take
care of the thumb marker on ARM. Call the __clear_cache built-in instead of
flush_cache if the GNU compiler is used.

The test-async-sig.c, test-flush-cache.c and Ltest_resume_sig.c define
UNW_LOCAL_ONLY and therefore only need LIBUNWIND_local. Gtest-dyn1.c is
calling '_U_dyn_cancel' and test-trace.c is using 'unw_backtrace' which
are in LIBUNWIND_local.

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.

Creating an alternate signal stack with a size of SIGSTKSZ (usually 8k) is
not enough on some targets because unw_cursor_t is bigger than that already.
Since the size of unw_cursor_t is part of the ABI the UNW_TDEP_CURSOR_LEN
can't be changed without breaking existent code. Therefore size of the
alternate signal stack has been increased to 1 MiB.

We'd like to avoid calls to all malloc related functions
so libunwind is still usable from such allocators.

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.
Usually we don't have a valid location for the SP but we keep calculating
the value of the CFA. The ARM backend should return this value instead.

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.

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

This test case relies on old libunwind internals such as the arm_stackframe.
Since the ARM extbtl-parser now operates on the DWARF model directly the
arm-extbl-test isn't of any particular use anymore.

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.
