Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 17/17] s390/unwind_user/fp: Enable back chain unwinding of user space
Unwinding of user space using frame pointer (FP) is virtually impossible
on s390 for the following reasons: The s390 64-bit (s390x) ELF ABI [1]
does only designate a "preferred" FP register and does not mandate fixed
FP and return address (RA) stack save slots. Therefore neither the FP
register nor the FP/RA stack save slot offsets from CFA are known.
Compilers, such as GCC and Clang, do not necessarily setup a FP register
early in the function prologue, even not with compiler option
-fno-omit-frame-pointer. Therefore the CFA offset from FP register is
not known.
This could be resolved by having compiler option -no-omit-frame-pointer
enforce all of the following: Use the preferred FP register 11 as frame
pointer, use fixed FP/RA stack slot offsets from CFA (e.g. -72 for FP
and -48 for RA), and setup the FP register immediately after saving the
call saved registers.
Fortunately s390 provides an alternative to frame pointer: back chain,
which can be enabled using s390-specific compiler option -mbackchain.
The back chain is very similar to a frame pointer on the stack.
Leverage the unwind user fp infrastructure to enable unwinding of user
space using back chain. Enable HAVE_UNWIND_USER_FP and provide a s390-
specific implementation of unwind_user_fp_get_frame(), which uses the
back chain.

Notes (jremus):
Changes in RFC v3:
- New patch. Implement unwind user fp using back chain on s390. Reuses
logic from RFC v2 patch "unwind_user/backchain: Introduce back chain
user space unwinding". (Josh)
