[PATCH v2] ARM: unwind: improve unwinders for noreturn case
From: Jiangfeng Xiao
Date: Wed Mar 20 2024 - 00:08:32 EST
This is an off-by-one bug which is common in unwinders,
due to the fact that the address on the stack points
to the return address rather than the call address.
So, for example, when the last instruction of a function
is a function call (e.g., to a noreturn function), it can
cause the unwinder to incorrectly try to unwind from
the function after the callee.
foo:
..
bl bar
.. end of function and thus next function ...
which results in LR pointing into the next function.
Fixed this by subtracting 1 from frmae->pc in the call frame
(but not exception frames) like ORC on x86 does.
Refer to the unwind_next_frame function in the unwind_orc.c
