c894ed6956 [ARM] 5558/1: Add extra checks to ARM unwinder to avoid tracing corrupt stacks
There are situations where the unwinder goes beyond stack boundaries and
unwinds random data. This patch moves the stack boundaries check after
the unwind_exec_insn() call and adds an extra check for possible
infinite loops (like "mov pc, lr" with pc == lr).

The patch also fixes a bug in the unwind instructions interpreter. The
0xb0 instruction can only set PC to LR if this wasn't already set by
a previous instruction (this is used on exceptions taken while in kernel
mode where svc_entry is annotated with ".save {r0 - pc}").

bff595c15c [ARM] 5383/2: unwind: Add core support for ARM stack unwinding
This patch adds the main functionality for parsing the stack unwinding
information generated by the ARM EABI toolchains. The unwinding
information consists of an index with a pair of words per function and a
table with unwinding instructions. For more information, see "Exception
Handling ABI for the ARM Architecture" at:
