[RFC PATCH v2 03/15] x86/unwind_user: Guard unwind_user_word_size() by UNWIND_USER
Posted by Jens Remus 1 week, 6 days ago
The unwind user framework in general requires an architecture-specific
implementation of unwind_user_word_size() to be present for any unwind
method, whether that is fp or a future other method, such as potentially
sframe.

Guard unwind_user_word_size() by the availability of the UNWIND_USER
framework instead of the specific HAVE_UNWIND_USER_FP method.

This facilitates to selectively disable HAVE_UNWIND_USER_FP on x86
(e.g. for test purposes) once a new unwind method is added to unwind
user.

Notes (jremus):
    Changes in v3:
    - Move includes into more common UNWIND_USER guard at the top of the
      source.  asm/ptrace.h is required for struct pt_regs.

I realize you just moved this around, but since I see it in the patch,
the #ifdef annoys me.

That user_64bit_mode() should work equally well on 32-bit, and this
can be written as

        return user_64bit_mode(regs) ? 8 : 4;

which avoids the #ifdef, and makes a lot more sense ("sizeof(long)"
together with "user_64bit_mode()"? It's literally testing 32 vs 64
bitness, not "int vs long").
