Subject: [PATCH] gdb/arm: Stop unwinding on error, but do not assert
Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2022 16:15:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221006141556.300733-1-torbjorn.svensson@foss.st.com> (raw)

When it's impossible to read the FPCCR and XPSR, the unwinding is
unpredictable as the it's not possible to determine the correct
frame size or padding.
The only sane thing to do in this condition is to stop the unwinding.

Without this patch, gdb would assert if this errornous state was
detected.
