PR71951: Fix unwinding with -fomit-frame-pointer
As described in PR71951, if libgcc is built with -fomit-frame-pointer, unwinding crashes, for example while doing a backtrace. The underlying reason is the Dwarf unwinder does not setup the frame pointer register in the initialization code. When later unwinding a function that uses the frame pointer, it tries to read FP using _Unwind_GetGR, and this crashes if has never restored FP. To unwind correctly the first frame must save and restore FP (it is unwound in a special way so that it uses SP instead of FP). This is done by adding -fno-omit-frame-pointer. gcc/ PR target/71951 * config/aarch64/aarch64.h (LIBGCC2_UNWIND_ATTRIBUTE): Define. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches/gcc-7-branch@253063 138bc75d-0d04-0410-961f-82ee72b054a4
