Subject: [Bug nptl/2419] New: broken .eh_frame for one argument syscalls.
Date: Sun, 05 Mar 2006 23:50:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060305235051.2419.dwhedon@debian.org> (raw)

The .eh_frame sections for the nptl single argument syscalls (close and fsync)
in glibc 2.3.6 are being created incorrectly.  Valgrind compains about this, as
discussed here:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7568951&forum_id=32038

valgrind emits the message:

DWARF2 CFI reader: unhandled CFI instruction 0:50

on startup of every program linking to the offending object.  This
creates a lot of noise.

readelf agrees that there is a problem with the sections:

$ readelf --debug-dump=frames /lib/tls/libc.so.6 > /dev/null
unsupported or unknown DW_CFA_50
unsupported or unknown DW_CFA_50
$

The patch I will attach shortly fixes the problem.  At least the error message
goes away and to me the CFI instructions now look correct.

FWIW, I noticed the problem on Debian stable (sarge) and current unstable (sid)
but it doesn't look like a Debian only issue.
