Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: add CFI annotations to swapcontext (bug 34575)
Date: Tue, 01 Sep 2026 16:16:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <mvm4ig9f44q.fsf@suse.de> (raw)

The annotations allow the unwinder to always find the return address in
one of the contexts.  Also mark __start_context as outermost frame, which
is used by makecontext as the return address for the context.
