Changes in RFC v2:
- Rebase on top of Claudiu's series v6.
- Sync sframe.h to latest Binutils s390 SFrame support patch series.
- Use macros SFRAME_CFA_OFFSET_DECODE and SFRAME_OFFSET_IS_REGNUM
that s390 64-bit (s390x) overwrites instead of ifdefs.
- Use s390x/S390X, as done in Binutils. (Indu)
- When in doubt fallback to DWARF stack tracer instead of stopping.
- Implement MD_DETECT_OUTERMOST_FRAME for s390 64-bit (s390x).
This patch series adds s390 64-bit (s390x) support for SFrame. It is
RFC, as it depends on the following Binutils and Glibc patch series:
It is based on top of Claudiu Zissulescu's Glibc patch series
"[PATCH v6 0/5] glibc: Add SFrame support for stack backtracing",
which enables Glibc to be built with SFrame stack trace information
and enables backtrace() to generate backtraces using SFrame stack trace
information:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/20250610073353.59446-1-claudiu.zissulescu-ianculescu@oracle.com/
It depends on my Binutils patch series "[PATCH v3 00/11] s390: Support
to generate .sframe in assembler and linker", which enables the GNU
assembler and linker on s390 64-bit (s390x) to generate SFrame stack
trace information:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/binutils/20250627110849.1198336-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com/
The intention to send it early is to provide insight into s390-specifics
and obtain early feedback.
Thanks and regards,
Jens
