Subject: [commit] Fix backtrace past "clone" on powerpc
Date: Sun, 04 May 2008 04:04:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200805040043.m440hDtW000371@d12av02.megacenter.de.ibm.com> (raw)

Hello,

backtrace in multi-threaded applications would tend to throw an error:

where^M
#0  0x0fcfdb34 in sem_wait@GLIBC_2.0 () from /lib/libpthread.so.0^M
#1  0x100008f0 in spin (vp=0x0) at /home/uweigand/fsf/gdb-head/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/tls.c:97^M
#2  0x0fcf6764 in start_thread () from /lib/libpthread.so.0^M
#3  0x0ff2c604 in clone () from /lib/libc.so.6^M
Backtrace stopped: previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?)^M

because clone was not recognized to terminate the stack.

The patch below fixes this by having rs6000_frame_this_id return the null
frame ID in that case (just like many other targets do already).

Tested on powerpc-linux and powerpc64-linux; committed to mainline.

Bye,
Ulrich


ChangeLog:

	* rs6000-tdep.c (rs6000_frame_this_id): If info->base is 0,
	return the null frame ID to terminate the backtrace.
