[Bug runtime/11898] New: cannot unwind through some glibc functions

[mjw at redhat dot com]

There seems to be some problem unwinding through some glibc/libpthread functions.

$ cat foo.c
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>

pthread_mutex_t m = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;

void foo(int n)
{
  printf("foo %d\n", n);
  if (n == 0)
    {
      puts("trying to get mutex");
      pthread_mutex_lock(&m);
      puts("got it...");
      sleep(1);
      exit(0);
    }
  foo(--n);
}

void* run_thread(void* v)
{
  foo(5);
}

int main()
{
  puts("go main!");
  pthread_t th;
  // Take lock, so thread doesn't get it immediately.
  pthread_mutex_lock(&m);
  pthread_create(&th, 0, &run_thread, 0);
  sleep(1);
  pthread_mutex_unlock(&m);

  for(;;) ;
}

$ gcc -g -o foo foo.c -lpthread

$ stap -d ./foo --ldd -e \
  'probe syscall.write,syscall.exit,syscall.futex,syscall.nanosleep
   { if (pid() == target()) { log(name); print_ubacktrace(); } }' \
  -c ./foo

Since this is DW_CFA_val_expression, it is an answer to
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10857#c1 "Have such expressions
been seen in the wild?".

Yes they have...
