/*
 * Clang does not store pc or sp in function prologues so we don't know exactly
 * where the function starts.
 *
 * We can treat the current frame's lr as the saved pc and the preceding
 * frame's lr as the current frame's lr, but we can't trace the most recent
 * call.  Inserting a false stack frame allows us to reference the function
 * called last in the stacktrace.
 *
 * If the call instruction was a bl we can look at the callers branch
 * instruction to calculate the saved pc.  We can recover the pc in most cases,
 * but in cases such as calling function pointers we cannot. In this case,
 * default to using the lr. This will be some address in the function, but will
 * not be the function start.
 *
 * Unfortunately due to the stack frame layout we can't dump r0 - r3, but these
 * are less frequently saved.
 *
 * Stack frame layout:
 * 		<larger addresses>
 * 		saved lr
 * 	frame=> saved fp
 * 		optionally saved caller registers (r4 - r10)
 * 		optionally saved arguments (r0 - r3)
 * 		<top of stack frame>
 * 		<smaller addresses>
 *
 * Functions start with the following code sequence:
 * corrected pc =>  stmfd sp!, {..., fp, lr}
 *		add fp, sp, #x
 *		stmfd sp!, {r0 - r3} (optional)
 *
 *
 *
 *
 *
 *
 * The diagram below shows an example stack setup for dump_stack.
 *
 * The frame for c_backtrace has pointers to the code of dump_stack. This is
 * why the frame of c_backtrace is used to for the pc calculation of
 * dump_stack. This is why we must move back a frame to print dump_stack.
 *
 * The stored locals for dump_stack are in dump_stack's frame. This means that
 * to fully print dump_stack's frame we need both the frame for dump_stack (for
 * locals) and the frame that was called by dump_stack (for pc).
 *
 * To print locals we must know where the function start is. If we read the
 * function prologue opcodes we can determine which variables are stored in the
 * stack frame.
 *
 * To find the function start of dump_stack we can look at the stored LR of
 * show_stack. It points at the instruction directly after the bl dump_stack.
 * We can then read the offset from the bl opcode to determine where the branch
 * takes us.  The address calculated must be the start of dump_stack.
 *
 * c_backtrace frame           dump_stack:
 * {[LR]    }  ============|   ...
 * {[FP]    }  =======|    |   bl c_backtrace
 *                    |    |=> ...
 * {[R4-R10]}         |
 * {[R0-R3] }         |        show_stack:
 * dump_stack frame   |        ...
 * {[LR]    } =============|   bl dump_stack
 * {[FP]    } <=======|    |=> ...
 * {[R4-R10]}
 * {[R0-R3] }
