Could we make just the callback from dl_iterate_phdr target dependent?

You mean to register a target dependent callback with dl_iterate_phdr or to
call a target dependent routine from the callback itself? In both cases we'd
want check for .eh_frame/.ARM.exidx infos and fall back to DWARF
(.debug_frame) parsing if there are no unwind infos for the given IP.
The tdep_find_proc_info is supposed to find the corresponding unwind info
which means to populate unw_proc_info. Since this is a fairly complicated
task the implementations of that routine (e.g. dwarf_search_unwind_table,
_UPT_find_proc_info or GDB) only walk the program headers to find ELF
segments that contain unwind informations (unw_dyn_info) and call back to
libunwinds tdep_search_unwind_table (sometimes multiple times) to get a
proper unw_proc_info. I didn't want to change this sequence because these
two functions are part of the public API. Maybe I'm missing something. Any
suggestions are welcome.

Something along the lines of:

And implement  tdep_find_proc_info() in src/arm. This would be similar
to src/ia64, except that ia64 doesn't use any of the dwarf code. You
could have a arm_callback() that reuses the code in dwarf_callback().

Ah, I didn't think of making the dwarf dl_iterate_phdr callback available within libunwind. I'll do so by declaring the renamed callback and the corresponding structure at the dwarf.h header file and rework my code to make use of this.

Thanks,
Ken
