So the getunwind syscall returns data from the gate DSO? I was under the impression it was some register backing store, or similar. In that case Roland's patches for the same issue on x86 should be persued instead of using the syscall.

The unwind info for the Linux kernel does get included in the core-dump (see Roland McGrath's work on this), but it is not available via /proc. Note that in the future, it won't be necessary to do a syscall. Instead, the kernel's unwind info will be available (to the running process) via dl_iterate_phdr(). I'm not sure though how this is supposed to be made accessible to programs such as gdb.
