Remove stack unwinder for now

2006-12-15T16:47:51+00:00

It has caused more problems than it ever really solved, and is
apparently not getting cleaned up and fixed.  We can put it back when
it's stable and isn't likely to make warning or bug events worse.

In the meantime, enable frame pointers for more readable stack traces.

[PATCH] x86-64: Speed up dwarf2 unwinder

2006-10-21T16:37:01+00:00

This changes the dwarf2 unwinder to do a binary search for CIEs
instead of a linear work. The linker is unfortunately not
able to build a proper lookup table at link time, instead it creates
one at runtime as soon as the bootmem allocator is usable (so you'll continue
using the linear lookup for the first [hopefully] few calls).
The code should be ready to utilize a build-time created table once
a fixed linker becomes available.

[PATCH] Some config.h removals

2006-10-01T07:39:34+00:00

During tracking down a PAE compile failure, I found that config.h was being
included in a bunch of places in i386 code.  It is no longer necessary, so
drop it.

[PATCH] x86_64: allow unwinder to build without module support

2006-06-26T17:48:18+00:00

Add proper conditionals to be able to build with CONFIG_MODULES=n.

[PATCH] i386/x86-64: fall back to old-style call trace if no unwinding

2006-06-26T17:48:18+00:00

If no unwinding is possible at all for a certain exception instance,
fall back to the old style call trace instead of not showing any trace
at all.

Also, allow setting the stack trace mode at the command line.

[PATCH] x86_64: reliable stack trace support

2006-06-26T17:48:17+00:00

These are the generic bits needed to enable reliable stack traces based
on Dwarf2-like (.eh_frame) unwind information. Subsequent patches will
enable x86-64 and i386 to make use of this.

Thanks to Andi Kleen and Ingo Molnar, who pointed out several possibilities
for improvement.
