Subject: [RFA/powerpc] Add handling for stack-check sequences in prologue
Date: Mon, 01 Sep 2008 16:47:00 -0000 [thread overview]

Hello,
On PPC targets, the debugger fails to unwind past some stack-check
sequences. The attached patch should fix that. I have double-checked
with Eric Botcazou to make sure that all possible cases are
caught... Roughly:
1) A small number of probes:
stw 0, -<some immediate>(1) repeated any (small) number of times...
2) A probing loop:
addi 12,1,-<some immediate>
lis 0,-<some immediate>
[possibly ori 0,0,<some immediate>]
add 0,12,0
cmpw 0,12,0
beq 0,<disp>
addi 12,12,-<some immediate>
stw 0,0(12)
b <disp>
[possibly one last probe: stw 0,<some immediate>(12)]
3) No probe; instead, a comparizon between the stack size
limit (saved in a run-time global variable) and the current stack
pointer:
addi 0,1,-<some immediate>
lis 12,__gnat_stack_limit@ha
lwz 12,__gnat_stack_limit@l(12)
twllt 0,12

* rs6000-tdep.c (rs6000_fetch_instruction)
(rs6000_skip_stack_check): New functions.
(skip_prologue): Skip stack check sequence.
Tested on AIX, no regression. I'll post my testcases in a minute.
OK to apply?
Thanks,
- Jerome
