Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 10/25] unwind_user/eh_frame: Detect .eh_frame_hdr sections in executables
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 16:49:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818144954.2320378-11-jremus@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818144954.2320378-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com>
When loading an ELF executable, automatically detect .eh_frame_hdr
sections and associate them with the mm_struct.
Based on Josh Poimboeuf's, Steven Rostedt's, and my unwind user sframe
implementation.
