[Bug libc/15407] Partial frame info in sysdeps/x86_64/start.S


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15407

--- Comment #21 from H.J. Lu <hjl.tools at gmail dot com> 2013-05-10 17:22:50 UTC ---
The normal x86-64 codes always have CFI and GDB doesn't need to worry
about zero BP.  For codes without CFI, there are 3 cases:

1. _start.  GDB can use BP
2. It does have BP.  GDB can use BP.
3. It doesn't have BP.  There is no-win for GDB.

It seems to me that it is OK for GDB to use BP if there
is no CFI.
