Hi, ARC Linux has an in-kernel dwarf unwinder which has historically consumed .debug_frame. The kernel is built with -gdwarf-2 and -fasynchronous-unwind-tables toggles which until recently used to generate both .debug_frame and .eh_frame - latter being discarded by the kernel linker script.
With a recent ARC gas change to support asm cfi psuedo-ops - dwarf info is now generated by gas and NOT gcc. But more importantly, we no longer get .debug_frame with above 2 toggles. If we drop -fasynchronous-unwind-tables then .debug_frame is generated. So here are the questions: 1. Is it OK to drop -fasynchronous-unwind-tables toggle and still assume that "precise" unwind info will be generated (as mentioned in gnu documentation) 2. If not, how do we coax gas to generate .debug_frame even in presence of -fasynchronous-unwind-tables Thx, -Vineet
