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

When cross-compiling libunwind with optimizations (-O1 or higher),
gcc-4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) optimizes away the memory
writes prior to the inline asm() statement in arm_local_resume() in the
non-signal-frame path, causing the `regs' array to be only allocated on
the stack, but not populated. This means that we are restoring garbage
to the registers.
As suggested in the GCC docs, add a fixed size input memory constraint
for the array content. This is enough to get the desired code to be
generated.
Adding __builtin_unreachable() to the point that we should never reach
was also in itself enough to inhibit the optimization. It also reduces
the function size by a few instructions.
Check the endianness earlier in unw_create_addr_space() on all
architectures to avoid leaking the dynamically allocated address space
struct.
This was already fixed for ARM in commit cf6a998796 ("Fix memory leak
in ARM unw_create_addr_space()"). Move the endianness check also on ARM
to avoid malloc() & free() in the error case.
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.
Define unw_tdep_context rather than using ucontext_t in order to support
systems that lack ucontext.h. Note that POSIX.1-2008 removed getcontext,
makecontext and swapcontext from its specification.

In case the user doesn't specify whether to unwind using the ARM specific
unwind tabler or DWARF info libunwind should prefer the latter. Since DWARF
expressions are more powerful than the ARM specific unwind tables
arm_find_proc_info is changed to check for DWARF first.

This patch add support for resuming at a certain stack frame even if signal

Adds new function to perform a pure stack walk without unwinding,
functionally similar to backtrace() but accelerated by an address

Usually we don't have a valid location for the SP but we keep calculating

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.

Greetings,
We use libunwind just for stack traces (I suspect many others do as well).
The use pattern is:
GetStackTrace(void** result, int max_depth)
{
...
unw_getcontext(&uc);
unw_init_local(&cursor, &uc);
while (n < max_depth) {
if (unw_get_reg(&cursor, UNW_REG_IP, (unw_word_t *) &ip) < 0) {
break;
}
result[n++] = ip;
if (unw_step(&cursor) <= 0) {
break;
}
}
Given this usage, it is quite convenient for us to block signals (or
prevent signal handlers from re-entering libunwind by other means) at the
"top level", which makes most of the sigprocmask calls performed by
libunwind itself unneccessary.
The second patch in this series adds a configure option which removes most
of the sigprocmask calls.
Attached patch is a preliminary for it -- consolidating all of the
"sigprocmask; mutex_lock;" sequences into lock_acquire and "mutex_unlock;
sigprocmask;" sequences into lock_release.
Thanks,

Replace "sigprocmask + mutext_lock" with a single lock_acquire.
Likewise, replace "mutext_unlock + sigprocmask" with lock_release.
* src/arm/unwind_i (arm_lock, arm_local_resume): Define.
* src/ptrace/_UPT_find_proc_info.c: Handle ARM like X86 etc.
* tests/flush-cache.S (flush_cache): Add (dummy) ARM-version.
ARM does need executable stack, even on Linux...
