- Subject: get_frame_func() VS get_frame_id().code
Hello,
The current get_frame_func() is implemented as roughly:
fi->prev_func.addr = get_pc_function_start (addr_in_block);
Unfortunatly this isn't valid for a signal trampoline (or at least the
evil ones that consist of random bytes in a random memory location).
For such trampolines, get_pc_function_start [rightly] fails and "func"
ends up as zero -- not good -- a properly constructed frame ID requires
non-zero code and stack addresses.
Fortunatly, with a bit of extra instruction pattern matching, it is
possible to identify the first instruction of a signal trampoline and
hence correctly compute the trampolines "func" address. Similarly, more
normal frames can determine the function start using the symbol table's
get_pc_function_start.
Consequently, I think there should be mechanism for obtaining both the
symbol table and frame's idea of a function's start address. This would
mean introducing:
- get_frame_func_by_symtab
Returns the function start according to the symbol table. Much of the
existing code (especially unwinders) would need to be updated to use this.
- get_frame_func_by_id
Returns the function start based on the frame ID. With the first change
made, this could even be called get_frame_func.
I've attached a proof-of-concept and as such the patch points to a
number of additional changes (the most obvious being the need for a
"tramp-frame" that generalizes the technique).
