[Libunwind-devel] SIGSEGV in ARM+Alarm handler

[Harald Servat]

Dear all,

  we have encountered the following SIGSEGV in a ARM system when 
unwinding the stack in a alarm handler. We're currently using the latest 
version of libunwind available from the GIT repository. The system is 
currently running linux kernel 3.11 with the following processor

model name      : ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l)
Features	: swp half thumb fastmult vfp edsp neon vfpv3 tls vfpv4 idiva 
idivt vfpd32 lpae

  The libunwind library was compiled using a regular

  ./configure --prefix=<DIR> and the CFLAGS within the Makefile is

  -g -O2 -fexceptions -Wall -Wsign-compare

  Our sampling library is compiled with the following flags

  -g -O2 -fno-optimize-sibling-calls -funwind-tables -Wall -W

  and the binary to be sampled is compiled using

  -O3 -g -funwind-tables -march=armv7 -mtune=cortex-a15 
-mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon

  Any thoughts on what might be wrong? What else could I provide to 
help fixing this issue?

Thank you very much in advance.
