Umm, that's already been done?
include/asm-i386/unwind.h::arch_unw_user_mode(): return info->regs.eip < PAGE_OFFSET || (info->regs.eip >= __fix_to_virt(FIX_VDSO) && info->regs.eip < __fix_to_virt(FIX_VDSO) + PAGE_SIZE) || info->regs.esp < PAGE_OFFSET;
Could this be the problem?
|ENTRY(sysenter_entry) | CFI_STARTPROC simple | CFI_DEF_CFA esp, 0 |==> CFI_REGISTER esp, ebp | movl TSS_sysenter_esp0(%esp),%esp |sysenter_past_esp:
What does that do? .cfi_register is not documented anywhere, not even in the gnu.org online documentation for gas. (I spent 10 minutes googling and found nothing other than the changeset that added it to gas.)
