S390: Fix "backtrace() returns infinitely deep stack frames with makecontext()" [BZ #18508].
On s390/s390x backtrace(buffer, size) returns the series of called functions until "makecontext_ret" and additional entries (up to "size") with "makecontext_ret". GDB-backtrace is also warning: "Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)" To reproduce this scenario you have to setup a new context with makecontext() and activate it with setcontext(). See e.g. cf() function in testcase stdlib/tst-makecontext.c. Or see bug in libgo "Bug 66303 - runtime.Caller() returns infinitely deep stack frames on s390x " (https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66303). This patch omits the cfi_startproc/cfi_endproc directives in ENTRY/END macro of __makecontext_ret. Thus no frame information is generated in .eh_frame and backtrace stops after __makecontext_ret. There is also no .eh_frame info for _start or thread_start functions. ChangeLog: [BZ #18508] * stdlib/Makefile ($(objpfx)tst-makecontext3): Depend on $(libdl). * stdlib/tst-makecontext.c (cf): Test if _Unwind_Backtrace is not called infinitely times. (backtrace_helper): New function. (trace_arg): New struct. (st1): Enlarge stack size. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-32/__makecontext_ret.S: (__makecontext_ret): Omit cfi_startproc and cfi_endproc. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-64/__makecontext_ret.S: Likewise. (cherry picked from commit 890b7a4b33d482b5c768ab47d70758b80227e9bc)
