Dave Watson a51cf49031 dwarf: Configurable cache size
Add interface for configurable dwarf cache size

* Use item size and round up to nearest power of 2.
* Initial cache still exists in BSS.  Without this, it means we would fail
  backtrace when out of memory.  The test-mem test fails without this

.SH NAME
unw_set_caching_policy
\-\- set unwind caching policy
.PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
#include <libunwind.h>
.br
.PP
int
unw_set_caching_policy(unw_addr_space_t
as,
unw_caching_policy_t
policy);
.br
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The unw_set_caching_policy()
routine sets the caching policy
of address space as
to the policy specified by argument
policy\&.
The policy
argument can take one of three
possible values:
.TP
UNW_CACHE_NONE
Turns off caching completely. This
also implicitly flushes the contents of all caches as if
unw_flush_cache()
had been called.
.TP
UNW_CACHE_GLOBAL
Enables caching using a global cache
that is shared by all threads. If global caching is unavailable or
unsupported, libunwind
may fall back on using a per\-thread
cache, as if UNW_CACHE_PER_THREAD
had been specified.
.TP
UNW_CACHE_PER_THREAD
Enables caching using
thread\-local caches. If a thread\-local caching are unavailable or
unsupported, libunwind
may fall back on using a global cache,
as if UNW_CACHE_GLOBAL
had been specified.
.PP
If caching is enabled, an application must be prepared to make
appropriate calls to unw_flush_cache()
whenever the target
changes in a way that could affect the validity of cached information.
For example, after unloading (removing) a shared library,
unw_flush_cache()
would have to be called (at least) for the
address\-range that was covered by the shared library.
.PP
For address spaces created via unw_create_addr_space(3),
caching is turned off by default. For the local address space
unw_local_addr_space,
caching is turned on by default.
.PP
.SH RETURN VALUE
.PP
On successful completion, unw_set_caching_policy()
returns 0.
Otherwise the negative value of one of the error\-codes below is
returned.
.PP
.SH THREAD AND SIGNAL SAFETY
.PP
unw_set_caching_policy()
is thread\-safe but \fInot\fP
safe
to use from a signal handler.
.PP
.SH ERRORS
.PP
.TP
UNW_ENOMEM
The desired caching policy could not be
established because the application is out of memory.
