Subject: [PATCH v6 6/6] x86/vdso: Enable sframe generation in VDSO
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 12:27:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260129112726.892340-7-jremus@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260129112726.892340-1-jremus@linux.ibm.com>
From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
Enable sframe generation in the VDSO library so kernel and user space
can unwind through it.
[ Jens Remus: Add support for SFrame V3. Prevent GNU_SFRAME program
table entry to empty .sframe section. ]
