Subject: [PATCH v14 08/19] unwind_user: Stop when reaching an outermost frame
Date: Tue, 5 May 2026 14:17:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505121718.3572346-9-jremus@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260505121718.3572346-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com>
Add an indication for an outermost frame to the unwind user frame
structure and stop unwinding when reaching an outermost frame.
This will be used by unwind user sframe, as SFrame may represent an
undefined return address as indication for an outermost frame.
