From 39358a033b2e4432052265c1fa0f36f572d8cfb5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2017 10:33:43 -0500 Subject: objtool, x86: Add facility for asm code to provide unwind hints Some asm (and inline asm) code does special things to the stack which objtool can't understand. (Nor can GCC or GNU assembler, for that matter.) In such cases we need a facility for the code to provide annotations, so the unwinder can unwind through it. This provides such a facility, in the form of unwind hints. They're similar to the GNU assembler .cfi* directives, but they give more information, and are needed in far fewer places, because objtool can fill in the blanks by following branches and adjusting the stack pointer for pushes and pops.
