[PATCH] ARM: UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER implementation for Clang
From: Nathan Huckleberry
Date: Tue Aug 20 2019 - 15:44:22 EST
The stackframe setup when compiled with clang is different.
Since the stack unwinder expects the gcc stackframe setup it
fails to print backtraces. This patch adds support for the
clang stackframe setup.

+ * Clang does not store pc or sp in function prologues
+ * so we don't know exactly where the function
+ * starts.
+ * We can treat the current frame's lr as the saved pc and the
+ * preceding frame's lr as the lr, but we can't
+ * trace the most recent call.
+ * Inserting a false stack frame allows us to reference the
+ * function called last in the stacktrace.
+ * If the call instruction was a bl we can look at the callers
+ * branch instruction to calculate the saved pc.
+ * We can recover the pc in most cases, but in cases such as
+ * calling function pointers we cannot. In this
+ * case, default to using the lr. This will be
+ * some address in the function, but will not
+ * be the function start.
+ * Unfortunately due to the stack frame layout we can't dump
+ * r0 - r3, but these are less frequently saved.
+ *
+ * Stack frame layout:
+ * <larger addresses>
+ * saved lr
+ * frame => saved fp
+ * optionally saved caller registers (r4 - r10)
+ * optionally saved arguments (r0 - r3)
+ * <top of stack frame>
+ * <smaller addresses>
+ *
+ * Functions start with the following code sequence:
+ * corrected pc => stmfd sp!, {..., fp, lr}
+ * add fp, sp, #x
+ * stmfd sp!, {r0 - r3} (optional)
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * The diagram below shows an example stack setup
+ * for dump_stack.
+ *
+ * The frame for c_backtrace has pointers to the
+ * code of dump_stack. This is why the frame of
+ * c_backtrace is used to for the pc calculation
+ * of dump_stack. This is why we must move back
+ * a frame to print dump_stack.
+ *
+ * The stored locals for dump_stack are in dump_stack's
+ * frame. This means that to fully print dump_stack's frame
+ * we need the both the frame for dump_stack (for locals) and the
+ * frame that was called by dump_stack (for pc).
+ *
+ * To print locals we must know where the function start is. If
+ * we read the function prologue opcodes we can determine
+ * which variables are stored in the stack frame.
+ *
+ * To find the function start of dump_stack we can look at the
+ * stored LR of show_stack. It points at the instruction
+ * directly after the bl dump_stack. We can then read the
+ * offset from the bl opcode to determine where the branch takes us.
+ * The address calculated must be the start of dump_stack.
+ *
+ * c_backtrace frame dump_stack:
+ * {[LR] } ============| ...
+ * {[FP] } =======| | bl c_backtrace
