Alexander Shishkin 830703c766 ARM: 6140/1: silence a bogus sparse warning in unwind.c
The check for compiler which is supposed to miscompile unwind tables
clearly has nothing to do with sparse (which does not define necessary
macros anyway), so simply silence it.

Laurent Pinchart 51d47999b9 ARM: 5977/1: arm: Enable backtrace printing on oops when PC is corrupted
If PC points outside kernel text, start printing the backtrace at LR
instead.

Claudio Scordino 6603a4fd51 ARM: 5776/1: Check compiler version and EABI support when adding ARM unwind support.
ARM unwind is known to compile only with EABI and not-buggy compilers.
The problem is not the unwinding information but the -fno-frame-pointer
option added as a result of !CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.  Now we check the
compiler and raise a #warning in case of wrong compiler.

Catalin Marinas c894ed6956 [ARM] 5558/1: Add extra checks to ARM unwinder to avoid tracing corrupt stacks
There are situations where the unwinder goes beyond stack boundaries and
unwinds random data. This patch moves the stack boundaries check after
the unwind_exec_insn() call and adds an extra check for possible
infinite loops (like "mov pc, lr" with pc == lr).

The patch also fixes a bug in the unwind instructions interpreter. The
0xb0 instruction can only set PC to LR if this wasn't already set by
a previous instruction (this is used on exceptions taken while in kernel
mode where svc_entry is annotated with ".save {r0 - pc}").

Catalin Marinas bff595c15c [ARM] 5383/2: unwind: Add core support for ARM stack unwinding
This patch adds the main functionality for parsing the stack unwinding
information generated by the ARM EABI toolchains. The unwinding
information consists of an index with a pair of words per function and a
table with unwinding instructions. For more information, see "Exception
Handling ABI for the ARM Architecture" at:
