[PATCH 2/5] unwind, x86: Generate exception frames data for UNWIND_EH_FRAME option
From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Fri Feb 10 2012 - 06:25:50 EST
Adding support to compile in eh_frame_hdr/eh_frame unwind
data. Plus several symbols to properly access this data.
__eh_frame_hdr_start
__eh_frame_hdr_end
__eh_frame_start
__eh_frame_end
Adding this for x86 arch, tested for x86_64 only.
