Subject: [PATCH v1 1/4] arm64/unwind_user/fp: Enable HAVE_UNWIND_USER_FP
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2026 17:08:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260417150827.1183376-2-jremus@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260417150827.1183376-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com>
Add arm64 support for unwinding of user space using frame pointer (FP).
For this purpose enable the config option HAVE_UNWIND_USER_FP and
provide an arm64-specific ARCH_INIT_USER_FP_FRAME definition (specifying
the CFA offset from FP and the FP and RA offsets from CFA). Unlike x86,
as there is no mean to determine whether the user space IP in the
topmost frame is at function entry, rely on the common definition of
unwind_user_at_function_start(), which always returns false, and common
dummy definition of ARCH_INIT_USER_FP_ENTRY_FRAME.
For unwind user in general provide an arm64-specific implementation
of unwind_user_word_size().
