Earlier this week I found out that tumbleweed has dwarf unwinder disabled. This happened when 4.9 was merged, as 4.9 stack dumping was completely rewritten by Josh. The old unwinder is thus completely incompatible with the current code. As a part of my work on dwarf unwinding (esp. assembly CFI annotations support in objtool), I am fixing things up. I almost finished the port of our unwinder to 4.9+. I am only creating this as a tracker and as a heads-up that something is going on.
