Hi,

GDB failed to detect the outermost frame while showing the backtrace
within a thread:
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

Before this patch, the start routines like thread_start had
no cfi information. GDB is then using the prologue unwinder if
no cfi information is available. This unwinder tries to unwind r15
and stops e.g. if r15 was updated or on some jump-instructions.

On older glibc-versions (before commit "Remove cached PID/TID in clone"
c579f48edba88380635ab98cb612030e3ed8691e), the thread_start function
used such a jump-instruction and GDB did not fail with an error.

This patch adds cfi information for _start, thread_start and
__makecontext_ret and marks r14 as undefined which marks the frame
as outermost frame and GDB stops the backtrace. Also tested
different gcc versions in order to test _Unwind_Backtrace() in libgcc
as this is used by backtrace() in glibc.

Bye
Stefan

ChangeLog:

	* sysdeps/s390/s390-64/start.S (_start):
	Add cfi information for r14.
	* sysdeps/s390/s390-32/start.S: (_start): Likewise
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-64/clone.S
	(thread_start): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-32/clone.S
	(thread_start): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-64/__makecontext_ret.S

Patch

commit f078ec7c04c5b82b98002946d6d7f388187a2e49
Author: Stefan Liebler <stli@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

    S390: Add cfi information for start routines in order to stop unwinding.
    
    GDB failed to detect the outermost frame while showing the backtrace
    within a thread:
    Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
    
    Before this patch, the start routines like thread_start had no cfi information.
    GDB is then using the prologue unwinder if no cfi information is available.
    This unwinder tries to unwind r15 and stops e.g. if r15 was updated or
    on some jump-instructions.
    
    On older glibc-versions (before commit "Remove cached PID/TID in clone"
    c579f48edba88380635ab98cb612030e3ed8691e), the thread_start function used
    such a jump-instruction and GDB did not fail with an error.
    
    This patch adds cfi information for _start, thread_start and __makecontext_ret
    and marks r14 as undefined which marks the frame as outermost frame and GDB
    stops the backtrace. Also tested different gcc versions in order to test
    _Unwind_Backtrace() in libgcc as this is used by backtrace() in glibc.
    
    ChangeLog:
