ARM: Don't apply pointer encryption to the frame pointer
The frame pointer register is rarely used for that purpose on ARM and applications that look at the contents of the jmp_buf may be relying on reading an unencrypted value. For example, Ruby uses the contents of jmp_buf to find the root set for garbage collection so relies on this pointer value being unencrypted. Without this patch the Ruby testsuite fails with a segmentation fault. ports/ChangeLog.arm: 2013-01-14 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> * sysdeps/arm/__longjmp.S: Don't apply pointer encryption to fp register. * sysdeps/arm/setjmp.S: Likewise. * sysdeps/arm/include/bits/setjmp.h (JMP_BUF_REGLIST): Add fp to register list, remove a4. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/sysdep.h (PTR_MANGLE_LOAD): New macro.
