[Libunwind-devel] [PATCH 0/8] ARM extbl enhancements and fixes

Hi,

This series of patches brings ARM related improvements and fixes. The main
feature is that the extbtl-parser now operates on the DWARF model directly.
This renders the arm-extbl-test.c test case useless and is therefore
removed. Since DWARF expressions are more powerful than the ARM specific
unwind tables unw_step has been changed to prefer the DWARF-method over the
extbl method. Another patch that changes unw_get_reg to return the dwarf.cfa
in case the user requests SP/R13 because we usually don't have a valid
location for the SP. This is btw what other libundind backends seem to do. In
addition there is a cleanup patch that moves things out of the ex_tables.h
header and adds some comments. Code that is unsused or not just not necessary
has been removed as well.

This patch set superseeds the one posted at:

Ken Werner (8):
  Have the ARM extbtl-parser operate on the DWARF model directly.
  Remove the arm-extbl-test.
  ARM extbl cleanup.
  Prefer to unwind using DWARF info on ARM.
  Remove the appname string of the ARM extbl parser.
  Remove the ARM_EXIDX_TABLE_MALLOC code path.
  ARM: Return the dwarf.cfa in case the user requests SP/R13.
  Add test-static-link to the .gitignore file.
