Subject: [patch] i386: fix one case of stuck dwarf2 unwinder
Date: Sat, 5 Aug 2006 16:36:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200608051640_MC3-1-C736-44E2@compuserve.com> (raw)
When the dwarf2 unwinder does its thing, sometimes it ends up in
kernel startup code in head.S. Changing arch_unw_user_mode() to
treat that case as if it were user mode is the easy fix.

I copied people who posted traces where this happened. Can anyone
test if this fixes the problem?
