Subject: [PATCH] ARM: module: Teach unwinder about PLTs

From: Alexander Sverdlin <[email protected]>

"unwind: Index not found eef26358" warnings keep popping up on
CONFIG_ARM_MODULE_PLTS-enabled systems if the PC points to a PLT veneer.
Teach the unwinder how to deal with them, taking into account they don't
change state of the stack or register file except loading PC.

I would be inclined to slap a Fixes tag to this patch so we get it back
ported where appropriate, however it is not clear to me which specific
commit(s) we should be listing here.

Thanks Alexander!

usually I don't hesitate to add "Fixes:" tag and this patch definitely could be ported to some
stable versions, but it's hard to say what it fixes. It's actually a combination of rarely
(if at all) used ARM_MODULE_PLTS functionality and other *debug* features, where unwinder is
used. In very similar case of commit 79f32b221b18c15a98507b101ef4beb52444cc6f
("ARM: 9079/1: ftrace: Add MODULE_PLTS support") I wasn't able to figure out which commit
I'm fixing.

I expect those who use ARM_MODULE_PLT and any kind of debugging to be able to backport the
patch downstream ;)

Hello Russel,

shall I add this one to your patch tracker?
There is little interest to this patch, but also no complaints, as I can tell.
