From 604bf5a216e7f2d97cdf62614ca1281921531040 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 03:16:19 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] CONFIG_UNWIND_INFO As a foundation for reliable stack unwinding, this adds a config option (available to all architectures except IA64 and those where the module loader might have problems with the resulting relocations) to enable the generation of frame unwind information.
