Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 17/25] unwind_user/eh_frame: Ignore DW_CFA_GNU_args_size
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 16:49:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818144954.2320378-18-jremus@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818144954.2320378-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com>
The DW_CFA_GNU_args_size DWARF CFI instruction is used by GCC to track
the size of arguments pushed on the stack for exception handling
purposes. It is not needed for stack tracing.
Signed-off-by: Jens Remus <jremus@linux.ibm.com>

Notes (jremus):
This patch could be squashed into "unwind_user/eh_frame: Add support for
reading .eh_frame section". Leaving separate for review.
