Subject: [PATCH v7 6/6] x86/vdso: Enable sframe generation in VDSO
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026 18:19:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203171958.1522030-7-jremus@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260203171958.1522030-1-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. ]

Notes (jremus):
Changes in v7:
- Rebase on H. Peter Anvin's vDSO changes on tip:x86/entry.
- Simplify adding assembler option -Wa,--gsframe-3. Add for
vdso64 only.
- Align to .eh_frame and mark .sframe as KEEP in vDSO linker script.
Note that GNU linker 2.46 will mark .sframe as KEEP in its default
linker script as well.
