17 // LUL: A Lightweight Unwind Library.
18 // This file provides the end-user (external) interface for LUL.
20 // Some comments about naming in the implementation. These are safe
21 // to ignore if you are merely using LUL, but are important if you
22 // hack on its internals.
24 // Debuginfo readers in general have tended to use the word "address"
25 // to mean several different things. This sometimes makes them
26 // difficult to understand and maintain. LUL tries hard to avoid
27 // using the word "address" and instead uses the following more
28 // precise terms:
30 // * SVMA ("Stated Virtual Memory Address"): this is an address of a
31 // symbol (etc) as it is stated in the symbol table, or other
32 // metadata, of an object. Such values are typically small and
33 // start from zero or thereabouts, unless the object has been
34 // prelinked.
36 // * AVMA ("Actual Virtual Memory Address"): this is the address of a
37 // symbol (etc) in a running process, that is, once the associated
38 // object has been mapped into a process. Such values are typically
39 // much larger than SVMAs, since objects can get mapped arbitrarily
40 // far along the address space.
42 // * "Bias": the difference between AVMA and SVMA for a given symbol
43 // (specifically, AVMA - SVMA). The bias is always an integral
44 // number of pages. Once we know the bias for a given object's
45 // text section (for example), we can compute the AVMAs of all of
46 // its text symbols by adding the bias to their SVMAs.
48 // * "Image address": typically, to read debuginfo from an object we
49 // will temporarily mmap in the file so as to read symbol tables
50 // etc. Addresses in this temporary mapping are called "Image
51 // addresses". Note that the temporary mapping is entirely
52 // unrelated to the mappings of the file that the dynamic linker
53 // must perform merely in order to get the program to run. Hence
54 // image addresses are unrelated to either SVMAs or AVMAs.

140 // is, loading or unloading unwind info -- are forced single-threaded
141 // by causing the called routine to acquire a write-lock. Unwind
142 // requests do not change the library's internal shared state and
143 // therefore require only a read-lock. Hence multiple threads can
