Subject: [PATCH v12 12/13] unwind_user/sframe: Add .sframe validation option
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 14:23:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119132323.1281768-13-jremus@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119132323.1281768-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com>
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
Add a debug feature to validate all .sframe sections when first loading
the file rather than on demand.
[ Jens Remus: Add support for PC-relative FDE function start address.
Adjust to rename of struct sframe_fre to sframe_fre_internal. ]

Notes (jremus):
Changes in v12:
- Adjust to use internal SFrame FDE representation.
- Adjust to rename of struct sframe_fre to sframe_fre_internal.
Changes in v11:
- Support for SFrame V2 PC-relative FDE function start address.

+ When adding an .sframe section for a task, validate the entire
+ section immediately rather than on demand.
+
+ This is a debug feature which is helpful for rooting out .sframe
+ section issues. If the .sframe section is corrupt, it will fail to
+ load immediately, with more information provided in dynamic printks.
+
+ This has a significant page cache footprint due to its reading of the
+ entire .sframe section for every loaded executable and shared
+ library. Also, it's done for all processes, even those which don't
+ get stack traced by the kernel. Not recommended for general use.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
