Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] fixup! unwind_user/sframe: Add support for reading .sframe contents
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2025 18:05:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251023160545.549532-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251022144326.4082059-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com>
This RFC fixup is POC to demonstrate how the SFrame reading code
could benefit from introducing an internal FDE representation (struct
sframe_fde_internal) similar to the used internal FRE representation
(struct sframe_fre). The goal is to eliminate the passing through of
fde_start_base in many places as well as the various computations of the
effective function start address (= *fde_start_base + fde->start_addr)
throughout this module. The internal FDE representation simply conveys
the effective function start address via the "unsigned long
func_start_addr" field.
